Bryan Singer Hearts Mutants
Sun, October 11, 2009 
In what would be a surprise to only those still living on a chunk of Krypton floating out in space, Bryan Singer would be interested in doing another film in the X-Men universe. This falls under the same surprising news as "Santa Clause isn't real." and "The sky is blue." I know that if you are reading my article that you also read The Trades. I also read The Trades, but sometimes non news becomes news just because "Variety" or "Hollywood Reporter" is present in the URL. Guess what Associated Press, I also want to direct an "X-Men" related film, run with it.
Yes I know, I am commenting on said article that I am dubbing irrelevant, but it's more then that. I am interested in the comings and goings of Bryan Singer because of his relevance to all the lovable freaks and geeks that keep escalating TMT's hit counts. I mean this man helped resurrect the comic book film series from the comedic clutches of Richard Pryor and the nipple enhanced chest plate of George Clooney. Granted we have to give a little credit to one David Goyer and "Blade" but Singer had his claws in the X-Men series and soared with Superman.
I have no doubt that Singer has had discussions with Fox about X-Men and possibly returning in some capacity, but the fact that he is even talking about it out loud tells me that long shot gone by the wayside. I'm sure if you asked him if he would like to return to Superman he would jump at that chance as well. What's next? "Usual Suspects II: Keyer Soze Strikes Back". Isn't there an old saying that goes something like this, "You can never go home again." Sure I go home every Thanksgiving, but it's for turkey and stuffing, not claw wielding mutants or storm casting sex kittens with poor acting chops.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Bryan Singer to go all mutant on us any time soon, his slate is pretty stacked at the moment.

I think he would be great to direct the Magneto spin-off.
I can't argue that, but as far as I know, there is no movement on an X4 film.
