What Could Fox’s Mystery Marvel And Ridley Scott Movies Be?

Finally, there’s the potential of a new X-Men movie. 2018 will be two years removed from Apocalypse and a year after Wolverine 2. That’s the perfect amount of time to continue the franchise. Plus, it’s the summer after Fantastic Four 2, which would be the right time for a potential crossover. Out of the three options, I think this is the safe bet.
The obvious choice is Prometheus 2, a film Scott has been talking about for a long time. Last year he surmised he might get around to it in 2015, which would fit this timeline, but is the audience really clamoring for it?
Of those three, I’d say Forever War and Prometheus are the front runners, simply because of the nature of this release date announcement: high-concept, blockbuster films. We can, however, rule out one film for sure. It won’t be Blade Runner 2, which is owned by Warner Bros. Plus, if this mystery movie is next for Scott after Exodus, it bumps any chance of Blade Runner 2 back even further into the decade.
Other potential options for Scott are the YA novel Rae and a movie about football concussions, As of now, he’s just producing those but that’s usually how he picks his directorial films. Neither is specifically set up at a studio.
What do you think each film will be?
