Curious how X-Men has taken this route. First two films did well, then third and spin off faltered. Then the under dog reboot of sorts did so well and now trying to tie it all together.

I will say this may end up being one of the more distinct super hero films in story and its arc.

The third movie was the highest grossing X-Men movie.

True. Yet, Fox saw the critical and fan recption and did not pursue X4, instead opting to do a Wolverine spin off and a semi-reboot or prequel X-Men.  I think if they were confident in the direction 3 took the series they would not have hesitated in cranking out a 4th or 5th one.  Why I say faltered instead of "bombed" as they weren't money losers for the franchise, but did shake confidence in its sustanibility. First class was largely made as stop gap measure to keep legal rights and brand alive.  It was well recieved so now we have this attempt to fit it all together.

I am very curious how this one turns out.
