X-Men 3: According to Variety, Bryan Singer - the director of both X-Men and X-2: X-Men United - has signed an overall production deal with 20th Century Fox and has recently begun negotiations to launch a third X-Men movie, although any movement towards a third film is in the very early stages.

20th Century Fox would likely have to pay considerably more for a third film, as the cast members only had contracts for the original film and options on one sequel.

X-Men was released July 14th, 2000 and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Tyler Mane. The film is directed by Bryan Singer.

X2: X-Men United was released May 2nd, 2003 and stars Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn. The film is directed by Bryan Singer.
