20th Century Fox is pushing forward with more X-Men related properties following the critical / financial success of Logan and financial success of X-Men: Apocalypse. X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be released on November 2, 2018. Even with the dubious quality of X-Men: Apocalypse, creation of another X-Men team film was never in doubt. There is too much money on the table and if 20th Century Fox doesn’t produce another X-Men film in a set amount of time, the rights to X-Men would revert back to Marvel Studios. In the rush to produce X-Men films, I believe the quality of the latest X-Men films have suffered. Because of that factor, I don’t believe X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be any different, when it comes to the quality of its script, than X-Men: Apocalypse. 20th Century Fox is not trying get it right with X-Men: Dark Phoenix the way they did with Logan. They are trying to make money.

Eleven years from when the first Avatar film was released, the first of four sequels will be released. James Cameron announced today via Avatar‘s official Facebook page that Avatar 2 will be released on December 18, 2020, Avatar 3 will be released on December 17, 2021, Avatar 4 will be released on December 20, 2024, and Avatar 5 will be released on December 19, 2025.

Fans of the first Avatar film have been waiting for this news for over a decade. They’ll still have to wait three more years but with the resources being put into these films the wait should be well worth it.
