I know this is pretty off-topic, but with announcement of the second X-Men movie could somehow effect the current X-Men: Evolution series. I know it's a stretch - but it works. :) Here's Fox official press release:
Twentieth Century Fox today announced that it will release X2, the second film in its X-MEN motion picture franchise, on May 2, 2003.
X2 reunites all of the principal cast members of the 2000 blockbuster, which theatrically has grossed nearly $300 million worldwide, was a video and DVD phenomenon, and revitalized the legendary comics series.
Also returning are the original's key creative team, including director Bryan Singer; producers Ralph Winter, Lauren Shuler Donner and Avi Arad; and screenwriter David Hayter.
X2 is scheduled to begin principal photography in May 2002.
In addition to its star-studded returning cast, X2 will feature several surprises, including favorite mutant characters from the vast X-Men comics universe, who are new to the film franchise. Since the release of X-MEN, the worldwide fan base has been burning up the Internet with speculation on which new characters would appear in the sequel.
Director Bryan Singer's credits include the acclaimed drama "The Usual Suspects" and "Apt Pupil," as well as "X-Men." Producer Lauren Shuler Donner's credits include "Free Willy," "Any Given Sunday" and "Volcano." Ralph Winter, who recently signed a producing deal with Fox, most recently executive produced the studio's summer blockbuster "Planet of the Apes."
