RUMOR: FOX IS WORKING ON A LIVE ACTION X-MEN TV SERIES

The mutants may be headed to TV.

6 OCT 2014 BY RACHEL PAXTON-GILLILAN

UPDATE: eatgeekplay.com's Shawn Madden is tweeting that he too has heard about the X-Men TV series and that it specifically is based on Peter David's X-Factor. Says Madden, "The X-Factor series will definitely feature Jamie Madrox and be sort of like 'Fringe in the X-Men world.'"

We should note that none of this is confirmed by 20th Century Fox, as yet, though it seems likely something is going on with a potential X-Men TV project at this point.

Original story follows.

If the latest rumors are to be believed, the X-Men may be the latest property to join the massive comic book TV show arena.

According to Bleeding Cool, sources tell them 20th Century Fox is currently in "deep development" on a live action X-Men series that is starting to get some interest.

We've known since March that Fox was considering adapting their Marvel properties (which include X-Men, Fantastic Four, X-Force, Deadpool, and New Mutants) for the small screen. At the time, X-Men: Days of Future Past writer/producer Simon Kinberg noted that "the serialized format of comic books is better suited for TV."

As of now, there are no details on what we could expect from an X-Men TV series. Stay tuned to IGN for the latest on the potential project.

so basically it would just be like the first season of heroes
with the government, secret agency chasing folks with mutant powers

instead with x-mean characters

could be decent friends of humanity as the enemy etc.

I loved X-Factor.

Havok, Polaris, Multiple Man, Quicksilver, Strong Guy.

Just give it back to Marvel. And while they're at it tell Sony to do the same.

Not that team, breh

Looks like they're doing the X-Factor detective agency with Multiple man as the leader

Sounds dope. That run on X-Factor was always my favorite.

Wish Polaris was apart of it..I want to see a green haired girl every week. It would be like a Japan holiday weekly.

May have to take a Further Look on this X-Factor Team. Not too familiar with them?

Peter David's book has consistently been the only X-book that wasn't wack during the everlasting era of awfulness the entire X-franchise has gone through since House Of M. Peter David dialogue is the best in comics.

Peter David is a god. He just seems to 'get' the characters better than other writers, no matter the medium (scripts, novels, comics, etc).
