According to
Deadline, Fox has hired Brian Michael Bendis to develop a nex
X-Men movie script for
Deadpool helmer Tim Miller to direct. We don't have any details beyond that, but the project is known as
143.
The report doesn't give us any indication of what this title means, but we're thinking it could be a reference to a comic issue. Over the years there have been several different issue #143s spread out over volumes etc, but a special Christmas edition of Uncanny X-Men from 1963 pops up first with a Google search.
That issue was Shadowcat-centric, so when you also take this film's director into account, there's a good chance that this is actually
the Kitty Pryde movie Collider
first mentioned a couple of months back.
That's just speculation for now, so feel free to let us know what you guys think in the comments below.
UPDATE: Looks like we
have confirmation that 143 and that Kitty Pryde movie are indeed one in the same!
