Mystique could be the next X-Men character to get a spinoff
Coming off of the success of this weekend’s Captain America: Winter Soldier—and the success of Marvel’s entire The Avengers franchise—and with Fox’s recent announcement of plans to create its own Marvel-style interlocking universe, the producers of the X-Men movies are naturally exploring the idea of more spin-offs for characters from that franchise. Lauren Shuler Donner, who’s produced all of the X-Men films, tells Entertainment Weekly that, in addition to Wolverine, she’d like to see more standalone films with Mystique, Gambit, and (as long rumored) Deadpool. With Mystique playing a major role in X-Men: Days Of Future Past—and also being played by the very popular Jennifer Lawrence—Donner suggests she might logically be the next character to get a spinoff.
