The X-Men franchise has been a staple of the superhero genre since its inception in 2000. The franchise has seen its fair share of highs and lows, but it seemed to be on an upswing in recent years. Unfortunately, Fox’s X-Men franchise has now come to an end.
The X-Men franchise began with the release of the first film in 2000. The film was a huge success, grossing over $300 million worldwide and launching a franchise that would span over a decade. The franchise continued to be successful with the release of sequels and spin-offs, such as X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
However, the franchise began to falter in recent years. The most recent film, X-Men: Apocalypse, was a critical and commercial disappointment. The film grossed only $155 million domestically, far below the expectations of the studio. This was followed by the release of the spin-off film, Logan, which was a critical and commercial success, but it was too little too late for the franchise.
The death of the X-Men franchise can be attributed to a number of factors. Firstly, the franchise had become too convoluted and convoluted storylines can often be difficult for audiences to follow. Secondly, the franchise had become too reliant on the same characters and storylines, leading to a sense of fatigue among audiences. Finally, the franchise had become too focused on the darker, more serious aspects of the X-Men universe, which alienated some fans.
The death of the X-Men franchise is a sad end to a beloved franchise. However, it is not the end of the X-Men universe. Disney recently acquired Fox and with it the rights to the X-Men franchise. It is expected that Disney will reboot the franchise and bring the X-Men back to the big screen in the near future. Until then, fans of the X-Men will have to wait and see what the future holds for the beloved franchise.
