Fox studio had already announced more movies for X-Men to be
coming up. But why do newspapers all say X-Men-LS is the final
movie? Heres why...
Fox Films Entertainment Chairman Tom Rothman said The Last Stand is
the end of a trilogy, but not necessarily the end of the X-Men film
series: "These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in
this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the
culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in
the first two movies." In a December 2005 interview, Brett Ratner
echoed Rothman's comments: "We wanted to make sure the audiences
knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made
together like Lord of the Rings, this is really closure for the
X-Men series...This is the last stand for sure.
