Singer keen on return to 'X-Men'

AMERICAN director Bryan Singer said yesterday he was interested in making another "X-Men" movie and had discussed the possibility with Twentieth Century Fox.

Singer made "X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United," but passed on the third installment so he could make "Superman Returns."

Director Brett Ratner ended up shooting that film, "X-Men: The Last Stand." South African filmmaker Gavin Hood made another spin-off, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which was released this year.

"I'm still looking to possibly returning to the 'X-Men' franchise. I've been talking to Fox about it," Singer said at a talk at South Korea's Pusan International Film Festival.

"I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast," he said, referring to the Australian actor who plays Wolverine.

Singer said he enjoyed making science fiction and fantasy movies because they allowed him to discuss serious issues through the medium of entertainment.
