It doesn’t look like they are about to let that happen anytime soon though, judging by their current work on “X-Men: Apocalypse”. They are very well determined to make this installment a good one and to really breathe life into the franchise.
Some of the rumors surrounding the new film have been slightly worrying, according to some fans – there are claims that the franchise is going to take a darker turn with this installment, and that we’re going to see some of the more uncomfortable aspects of the X-Men cinematic universe explored.
While that does sound a bit scary, it’s important to remember that this was never a lighthearted franchise in the first place, and there has always been a lot of depth and darker themes in “X-Men”.
In fact, according to some fans, it was about time for those themes to be given more attention on the film side, as the ideas that were brought to the screen lately were not what many fans have been expecting at all. Of course, judging by the popularity of the films and their performance in the box office, fans still seem to be enjoying the overall setup quite a bit.
