'X-Men' spin-offs in the offing
Published Monday, Jun 5 2006, 00:16 BST | By Peter Stiff
Producers are looking to capitalise on the success of X-Men: The Last Stand with four different spin-off movies featuring the film's characters.
Hugh Jackman is already reported to have signed on for Wolverine, which will begin shooting next year.
"We've also talked about doing something on the kids in (Professor X's) school, focusing on their lives, and less of a global adventure for the team," said 20th Century Fox's production president Hutch Parker.
Another film based on the character of Emma Frost could also be in the offing; the sexy mutant telepath is an X-Men comics regular but has not featured in any of the movies.
Magneto, which will focus on the character's pre-villain days, is also a possibility.
