The Next Evolution-Top Directions for the X-Men Film Series

X-Men Apocalypse has finally hit theaters. The 9th film in the X-Men series, and the second film in the franchise to arrive this year, hit theaters last weekend and managed to find success. While the film's quality seems debatable, the fact remains that Apocalypse found success in the box office. Thanks to the new film's commercial success (and the money brought in by Deadpool) it is safe to say that the X-Men franchise is not slowing down anytime soon. So with Apocalypse behind us, the question now is what is in store for the X-Men franchise? The latest film made a statement by setting up a new chapter in the superhero series. Because of the events in Apocalypse, there are several areas that this movie franchise could explore. While nothing is fully set in stone, here are some of things I am hoping to see in next group of X-Men films.

X-Men Days of Future Past Review: The Definitive X-Men Film?!

Marvel Comics have been a part of the movie world for many years. While the likes of The Avengers can be considered Marvel's most monumental achievement, we cannot forget that all of this would not have been possible had not been for a certain team of mutants that made their film debut in 2000. For over 14 years, the X-Men have played a major role on the silver screen; from successes like X2: X-Men United to dismal failures like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now the superhero franchise find itself at a crossroad with the latest installment X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Bryan Singer returns to the director's chair to bring this iconic X-Men story to life; as well as bridging continuities of X-Men: First Class and the original X-Men trilogy together. Much like the story its based from, Days of Future Past deals with the X-Men fighting for their future against the menace known as Sentinels. In order to prevent the apocalyptic future from happening, Wolverine travels into the past to unite the younger Charles Xavier and Magneto so they can stop this threat before it begins.
