===''X-Men: Fear the Beast''===
  +
''X-Men: Fear the Beast'' was the title of a spin-off film pitched by Byron Burton, former assistant to editor/composer [[John Ottman]] while he was working on ''[[X-Men: Apocalypse]]''. Ottman was skeptical of the idea that [[Henry McCoy (Earth-10005)|Beast]] could carry his own film, but when Burton said he could complete a script in two weeks, Ottman gave the aspiring screenwriter a chance to prove the idea could work.<ref name="Fear the Beast">[http://web.archive.org/web/20190615110857/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/x-men-a-beast-spinoff-was-pitched-fox-before-dark-phoenix-1218313 X-Men: A 'Beast' Spinoff Was Pitched to Fox Before 'Dark Phoenix']</ref>
  +
  +
After reading Burton's draft, Ottman decided to join the project and rework the script as a $90 million film. ''Fear the Beast'' would have been set in the late '80s, opening in a snow-covered Inuit village that was being stalked by a mysterious creature. Ottman likened the film to John Carpenter's ''The Thing'', due to both settings involving an "inhospitable environment". The story would then jump forward to Hank McCoy living in the [[X-Mansion]], where he would be struggling to keep his mutation under control with a serum that was introduced in ''[[X-Men: Days of Future Past]]''. His beastly nature surfaced during a [[Danger Room]] sequence, where the "Friends of Humanity" would have also made an appearance. Early in the first act, it would be revealed that Hank had been helping a scientist with a similar mutation.<ref name="Fear the Beast"/>
  +
  +
Hank provided the scientist with a sample of his serum, but would later discover that the man was the one terrorizing the Inuit village at the start of the film. It would culminate in a showdown where Hank teamed up with [[James Howlett (Earth-10005)|Wolverine]], who was located by [[Charles Xavier (Earth-10005)|Professor X]] using [[Cerebro]]. ''Fear the Beast'' ended with a tease of Mister Sinister having watched all of the proceedings. This was going to be a set up to Sinister being a multi-film villain orchestrating things.<ref name="Fear the Beast"/>
  +
  +
Ottman passed the idea around to people at 20th Century Fox, but because ''Fear the Beast'' involved core ''X-Men'' characters such as Professor X and Beast, the film would needed to be signed off by Simon Kinberg. Kinberg was the key architect behind the ''X-Men'' films and was working on ''[[Dark Phoenix]]'' at the time. He politely declined to read the script to avoid being influenced by it, as he had plans to reintroduce [[Wolverine]] into the ''X-Men'' films after Hugh Jackman retired from the role. As such, Wolverine being used in any other film would have muddled Kinberg's plans. However, Ottman didn't mind as he would have pushed to direct the film himself had Fox been interested.<ref name="Fear the Beast"/>
  +
  +
Ottman was constantly reworking the script to avoid any problems that would have showed up in post-production. Both Ottman and Burton noted that the version of ''Fear the Beast'' they originally pitched was an early draft that would have changed over time.<ref name="Fear the Beast"/>
  +
  ⚫
===''Omega Red''===
  +
An outline of an ''Omega Red'' film was written by Byron Burton and John Ottman. It was planned to be a follow-up to ''X-Men: Fear the Best'', which teased Mister Sinister as a multi-arc villain orchestrating events behind-the-scenes. It would have been set in the late '80s and involved Sinister testing the X-Men.<ref name="Fear the Beast"/>

Revision as of 15:07, 5 May 2020

These are films that have not yet been developed or some of these projects have been canceled.

Fox's X-Men

These are X-Men films or films related to the X-Men; that have not yet been developed. Since the Disney/Fox merger, these films have likely all been shelved.

Emma Frost

In 2006, David O. Russell began development on a film based on the character of Emma Frost.[1]

Magneto

Rob Liefeld has stated that Fox are still in development of the spinoff.[2]

Alpha Flight

In 2010, Vincenzo Natali expressed interest in directing a adaptation of Alpha Flight.[3] In February of 2017, while discussing plans for the X-Men film universe following the release Logan and Hugh Jackman's retirement from the titular role, producer Simon Kinberg stated that 20th Century Fox has characters in various stages of development, naming Alpha Flight as one of the teams being prepared for future use.[4]

The Exiles

In February of 2017, while discussing plans for the X-Men film universe following the release Logan and Hugh Jackman's retirement from the titular role, producer Simon Kinberg stated that 20th Century Fox has characters in various stages of development, naming the Exiles as one of the teams being prepared for future use.[4]

Shadowcat

In January 2018, Collider reports that Tim Miller is development a Kitty Pryde solo movie.[5][6] In February 2018, Brian Michael Bendis was hired to write the script for the movie.[7]

X-Men: Fear the Beast

X-Men: Fear the Beast was the title of a spin-off film pitched by Byron Burton, former assistant to editor/composer John Ottman while he was working on X-Men: Apocalypse. Ottman was skeptical of the idea that Beast could carry his own film, but when Burton said he could complete a script in two weeks, Ottman gave the aspiring screenwriter a chance to prove the idea could work.[8]

After reading Burton's draft, Ottman decided to join the project and rework the script as a $90 million film. Fear the Beast would have been set in the late '80s, opening in a snow-covered Inuit village that was being stalked by a mysterious creature. Ottman likened the film to John Carpenter's The Thing, due to both settings involving an "inhospitable environment". The story would then jump forward to Hank McCoy living in the X-Mansion, where he would be struggling to keep his mutation under control with a serum that was introduced in X-Men: Days of Future Past. His beastly nature surfaced during a Danger Room sequence, where the "Friends of Humanity" would have also made an appearance. Early in the first act, it would be revealed that Hank had been helping a scientist with a similar mutation.[8]

Hank provided the scientist with a sample of his serum, but would later discover that the man was the one terrorizing the Inuit village at the start of the film. It would culminate in a showdown where Hank teamed up with Wolverine, who was located by Professor X using Cerebro. Fear the Beast ended with a tease of Mister Sinister having watched all of the proceedings. This was going to be a set up to Sinister being a multi-film villain orchestrating things.[8]

Ottman passed the idea around to people at 20th Century Fox, but because Fear the Beast involved core X-Men characters such as Professor X and Beast, the film would needed to be signed off by Simon Kinberg. Kinberg was the key architect behind the X-Men films and was working on Dark Phoenix at the time. He politely declined to read the script to avoid being influenced by it, as he had plans to reintroduce Wolverine into the X-Men films after Hugh Jackman retired from the role. As such, Wolverine being used in any other film would have muddled Kinberg's plans. However, Ottman didn't mind as he would have pushed to direct the film himself had Fox been interested.[8]

Ottman was constantly reworking the script to avoid any problems that would have showed up in post-production. Both Ottman and Burton noted that the version of Fear the Beast they originally pitched was an early draft that would have changed over time.[8]

Omega Red

An outline of an Omega Red film was written by Byron Burton and John Ottman. It was planned to be a follow-up to X-Men: Fear the Best, which teased Mister Sinister as a multi-arc villain orchestrating events behind-the-scenes. It would have been set in the late '80s and involved Sinister testing the X-Men.[8]
