Two Names Considered for X-3 Director

Archive

More news is flooding out since Matthew Vaughn called it quits on X-Men 3 yesterday. Brett Ratner, who at one-time was attached to direct Superman Returns, may be tapped to take over the mutant sequel.

Another name apparently in the running is John Moore, director of action/adventure flicks Flight of the Phoenix and Behind Enemy Lines. Fans can forget Josh Whedon. He’s currently attached to Wonder Woman, and also would probably not be interested in a film that he did not have a part in its writing process.

As for the sequel itself, it is said to be very controversial. According to Aint it Cool: “Three major characters that absolutely should not die, die. Really dead, too. Not Spock Dead. And one mutant who should not lose her powers, loses her powers permanently. Really loses them, too. Not SUPERMAN II loses them. And the sex scene… when you see who does what to who… oh, boy”.
