We had a movie on that second part.
It's called.
Hollywood, this will blow your minds.
"First Contact."
dude is the definition of failing upwards
wrote the worst x-men movie of the time (X3) which fucked up the Dark Phoenix storyline so bad that they....let him write AND direct the same story again...and that of course went so well
We also had an entire four season TV series about the first part too…
All of this sounds dumb, and until there are actors standing in front of cameras filming, I don't believe this will actually get made anyway.
I'd like to attribute the last two Xmen movies mostly to how Fox was handling the franchise. Kinberg basically saved Days of Future Past when Singer went AWOL, which happened again for Apocalypse, but it didn't work out that time.
But yeah, I don't have much confidence in the direction of the upcoming Star Trek movie or this proposed series. Star Trek is a weird place again now that Paramount is trimming stuff down.
Also, this all feels like Star Trek Enterprise erasure, and that really bums me out.

How? How the fuck does he keep getting gifted these huge franchises?
From Wiki:
I guess he had a few hits like Deadpool which kept him going for sure.
Of course, now that I said that, this is the guy who adapted the same story TWICE in the same franchise, so a redo of First Contact and Enterprise might actually be in his wheelhouse. 😂
But seriously…this all sounds dumb. If it's a completely different version of first contact (and in modern times? What's up with that?) it wouldn't even be the Kelvinverse either. Like…I don't know what this is. A prequel reboot thingy?

Probably because he's like a "reliable producer/writer" for the studios (aka 0 drama and does what he's told) like Kurtzman and Orci, doesn't hurt that he has Best Picture nominations under his belt for The Martian and Deadpool.
