Following X-Men: Apocalypse FOX May Be Looking to Reboot the Franchise

After a disappointing performance compared to the previous Days of Future Past FOX might be ready to mash the reset button, just like your little brother did when he was losing in Mario Kart 64.

The mediocre reception of the film coincides with the expiration of the contracts of Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, and Nicholas Hoult, all the biggest stars of of the franchise. The films' director Brian Singer has also departed the franchise for other projects, leaving the series in even greater flux.

If we're being honest, we wish that FOX would just admit defeat and sell off the rights so that the Marvel Cinematic Universe can fill that X-Men sized hole in it.
