Exklusives Interview bei iFMagizine mit Avi Arad

[..] iF MAGAZINE: After the success of X-MEN: THE LAST STAND is WOLVERINE the movie going to be a sequel or a prequel?
AVI ARAD: I don’t want to call it a prequel nor a sequel. It is Wolverine’s story and it is really concentrating on him. It’s about his life, his mysteries, and his loves. It’s not really a prequel or a sequel. It’s just a story like in the comics where we have X-Men, Wolverine, and books dealing with the other X-Men. Obviously, Wolverine is the number one X-man, and deserves his own story. Hugh Jackman will make the story that much more compelling.
iF: Are you still planning a Magneto Movie?
ARAD: Starting with a younger version. It’s the story of Magneto’s life, and it will span some years.
iF: What are the chances of you and 20th Century Fox agreeing to do another X-MEN film?
ARAD: There’s always a chance of an X-MEN sequel. It’s more of an issue of what is the next X-Men story, and when to do it. The X-Men universe is forever and ever, and it’s the number one comic book. There are an endless amount of stories and great sagas that can go into the future, the past, and the present. There are so many more characters that we didn’t deal with yet. It’s such a rich world. I would not preclude anything. [..]
