Fox has closed a deal with The Fault In Our Stars director Josh Boone to co-write and direct The New Mutants, a standalone spinoff that expands its X-Men movie universe. The series, already part of the X-Men Comics universe, introduces a new crop of mutant characters born with special powers. Boone will co-write with Knate Gwaltney. Simon Kinberg will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner.

More X-Men?
YES.

Agreed. X1, X2, First Class, Wolverine, and Days of Future Past are all very good films.
Safe to say FOX learned there lesson with the negative backlash from X3 and Origins.
Can’t wait for the new Fantastic Four and Apocalypse!

This is such great news!
tbh I’m rooting for Fox over Marvel and DC (though I want all to do well). I’m so excited for all of their films.
