Don?t hold your breath. There are complications with both films' productions and for very different reasons.

As far as X-Men 4 is concerned there is definite interest and according to producer Donner the majority of the newer cast members have signed on for another go around, but Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry might be out of Fox?s perspective price range, Variety reported. I think that is a bunch of bunk though, they sure can afford them after all the money they made on ?X-Men: The Last Stand?.

As far as ?Superman Returns Again? goes it looks like Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures weren?t thrilled with the performance of this summer?s most expensive blockbuster. The Man of Steel might return with Bryan Singer in the helm, but according to Variety next time it appears that a budget cap might be placed on the big, blue Boy Scout.
