UPDATE: We’ve added more covers and more quotes…
Obsessed with Film has posted these scans from the new issue of Empire magazine which includes a feature on X-Men: First Class, hitting theaters on June 3.
Producer Lauren Shuler Donner also talked to the magazine about X-Men 4, Deadpool and The Wolverine.
She says “X4” is in ‘active development at Fox.’ “We took the treatment to Fox and they love it… And X4 leads into X5.”
On Deadpool, she says the film will be “a total reboot. We’re either going to pretend that didn’t happen, or mock it, which he could do. We’re looking for a director, yes. He’s very involved, Ryan. He’s working with the writers on the screenplay and it is as much as it is ours.”
She confirmed that this would be the Deadpool of the comics. “I’m tellin’ ya, it’s true to the comic. You’ll see all of them. You’ll see Wade Wilson, the good-looking Ryan Reynolds! You’ll see Deadpool in his costume and you’ll see the cancer-scarred face.”
Donner also mentioned that Hugh Jackman’s The Wolverine “will have depth and a dramatic backbone. And yet there’s more action in this one than in any one we’ve ever done. It’s such a good script. We have the great Christopher McQuarrie writing and it’s very true to the Japanese saga. This is Logan on his own…”
