GottaBeCarl has created an awesome image re-imagining all of the characters of Futurama in the X-Men universe. Carl explains:
A friend of mine suggested one day that it would be cool to see the characters of Futurama as X-Men and so I drew him Fry as Cyclops. For some reason I couldn’t just stop there…and what came of it was a pretty extensive illustration with some of the most obscure characters from both the X-Men and Futurama universes.
Can you spot them all? Check out the full image after the jump.

According to Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar himself, he has been offered the writing gig for X-Men 4, by which he seemingly means the projected next picture with the core group of adult mutants and not just a rewrite gig on New Class. He’s happy to announce this offer to the world right now, apparently, because he’s already said no. This decision, Millar says, was informed by a belief that Fox wouldn’t allow him sufficient freedom.
Predictably, there’s some skepticism about this story over at the Millarworld message boards. The thread is sub-titled “The toughest decision of my career so far”. On a brighter note, Millar does reiterate that he’s got another collaboration with Matthew Vaughn coming, based upon the so-far top-secret comic book that he’s “doing with Leinil Francis Yu in September”.

While Warner Bros. might well have Bryan Singer under contract to direct Jack the Giant Killer, it seems Fox are keen to lure him back to their X-Men franchise, and not just for First Class. Though he’s already attached to that one, producer Lauren Shuler Donner is also keen to tap his skills for a fourth installment in the main ‘grown up’ franchise and, reading between the lines a little, it would seem the Wolverine sequel might be a potential for the director too. Emphasis on the might.
Thus far, Singer is only talking about his ideas for First Class even though, if it is true he’s going to be involved, he’d probably end up shooting the already-scheduled Wolverine first.
