Logan director James Mangold is taking on the upcoming Boba Fett Star Wars spinoff film

Looks like the Star Wars universe under Disney will be expanding in bigger and bolder ways than we could hope for, as "The Wolverine" and "Logan" director James Mangold will be writing and directing the upcoming "Boba Fett" spin-off film - centering on the fan-favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter whose early days in the game have yet to be chronicled past his childhood and relationship with his template/ dad Jango Fett during the Star Wars prequel films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mangold will be joined by fellow X-Men Movies alum and writer-producer Simon Kinberg, who will also co-write and produce the upcoming project. No details have been released yet on the film, but it's safe to say that we'll learn more things about it soon along with the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off film.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix: Entertainment Weekly releases "First Look" issue cover and details

Literally turning up the heat with what comes next for the X-Men Movies franchise, Entertainment Weekly has revealed their cover to their next issue revealing stuff and juicy details for "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" - the next installment of the X-Men prequel universe where veterans James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence return as Professor X, Magneto, and Mystique, while new blood like Alexandra Shipp, Evan Peters, and Sophie Turner return as Storm, Quicksilver, and Jean Grey respectively.

Directed by Simon Kinberg and based partially on the famous storyline by Chris Claremont, Dark Phoenix picks up in 1992 and sees the X-Men as national heroes. However an adventure to outer space for a rescue mission has severe consequences when a solar flare passes and affects Jean - causing her to unleash catastrophic powers as The Phoenix. For more information, read up the news via Entertainment Weekly!

X-Men: Dark Phoenix has an opening date of November 2018.

X-Men Movies: The next film will be set in the 1990's

In what certainly is a trend of era settings after beginning the franchise anew with the X-Men Prequel films starting with 2011's "X-Men: First Class", X-Men Movies producer  Simon Kinberg has confirmed to Coming Soon that the next installment will be set in the 1990's, a period when the mutants were handled famously by artist Jim Lee and writer Chris Claremont, split into Teams "Blue" and "Gold" and the New Mutants evolved into X-Force.

While no details were privy after Kinberg confirmed the setting, it does follow the decade pattern that started with the 1960's in First Class, followed by the 1970's in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, and then now in the 1980's with this year's upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. What the next film will be about is anyone's guess, but it will certainly be interesting if it still involved James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender's Professor X and Magneto, or spinoff to a new group of mutant protagonists.

X-Men: Apocalypse, the latest film in the series, will open on May 18 internationally and May 27 in the US.
