Multiple Francos for the cost of one!
In a surprise announcement, Fox has revealed that they are developing a new X-Men spin-off film starring James Franco with a script written byWonder Woman‘s Allan Heinberg.Multiple Manwill feature the X-Men associate of the same name whose mutant power, as you’re able to tell, involves creating clones of himself.
This won’t be the character’s film debut, however, as he was portrayed by Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) in 2006’sX-Men: The Last Stand. Franco, as well, is no stranger to the genre as he played Peter Parker’s best-friend-turned-adversary, Harry Osborn, in the originalSpider-Mantrilogy.
Multiple Manis just the latest film in the ever-expandingX-Menfilm universe followingThe New Mutants,X-Men: Dark Phoenix,Gambit,Deadpool 2, and therecently announcedLoganspin-off. As a fan of both the character and Franco,Multiple Manhas shot to the top of my list of most anticipatedX-Menfilms. Here’s hoping Heinberg’s script is informed by Peter David’sX-Factorrun!
