Simon Kinberg Says An ‘X-Men’ TV Show “Makes Sense”

Indeed, big-screen X-Men screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg says the studio is figuring things out.

And, yeah, it’s the availability and affordability of effects that, in part, makes such an idea feasible:

We’re still in this place of figuring out what the future of the franchise will be, but when you look at S.H.I.E.L.D. to some extent and what Marvel is doing now with Daredevil and other shows on Netflix, it makes sense to tell some of these stories in TV. Partly because there’s just not enough screens to do all these characters, and also because the serialized format of comic books is better suited for TV.  Because that’s it, every week you come back to the same characters different story, and in comic books every week it’s the same characters, different story.
