James Franco has confirmed that he is attached to an ‘X-Men’ property, both as an actor and a producer. Rumours are rife that Fox Studios has been working on a Marvel Comics movie based on Multiple Man. Without revealing much, Franco said, "I do have a superhero that I am developing. I don’t know how much I can say, but I will say I am producing and performing in it.”
"Its early stages. I think probably what I can say is, like anything, theres a need to develop more," he added. The actor, who has started a production company with actor brother Dave Franco, said he is impressed the way the ‘X-Men’ franchise has churned out spin-offs such as ‘Logan’ and ‘Deadpool’. "Our bottom line MO is, how can we push this into new ground? A little bit, but still make it entertaining? (But) what I love about what Simon Kinberg and Fox and the X-Men people have done with Deadpool and Logan - it took a while to get there, maybe 10 years - but they are going to go hard,” he stated.
"And were going to take this superhero thing and really just push it into a new genre. So were working with Simon Kinberg on an X-Men property," he concluded.
