1. Can they use any of the better know mutants? One of the decisions they will have to make could be crucial to its success. If they do not use Cyclops, Storm, Jean, and Wolverine will fans still watch the show? With the upcoming schedule of movies, do they have room for a live action TV series?
The rumored movie schedule for the X-men series is:
Deadpool (2016)
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Gambit (2016)
Untitled The Wolverine sequel (2017)
X-Force (?)
2. What time period will they set the X-men TV series? They have the option of setting the TV series during the time that Scott, Jean and the other X-men were in school. They could chose to explore the first class. There are also X-men set in the future.
3. If they use lesser know mutants, then which ones will they choose? The X-men universe is so large that they have the option to tell one of many different stories. The question is...is the fan base willing to accept a show about lesser known mutants?
4. Who owns the TV rights to the X-men? It is clear that 20 Century Fox owns the rights to the X-men cinematic universe but the television rights are a little more ambiguous. There was a deal made behind closed doors when 20 Century Fox sued Marvel over the Spike series, Mutant-X. So, who owns the rights to television is not known by the general public.
Fans really hope that these and other questions get worked out to bring a good X-men series to television. Fox could have the DC/Marvel block with Gotham and X-Men. What do you think? Can these issues be resolved to open the door to a whole new television universe?
