With next summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse marking his fourth entry into the mutant-verse, Bryan Singer has announced a brief hiatus from Fox’s cinematic universe, with the director taking to Instagram today to confirm that his next project will be Disney’s long-in-development adaptation, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Transitioning Jules Verne’s eponymous novel series to the big screen has happened numerous times in the past, though it’s been a process fraught with false starts of late, with the most recent revolving around David Fincher’s stalled project that had set up shop at Disney. While details are scarce on the ground, it would appear likely that Fincher’s rendition will enter production at 20th Century Fox, as the director looks to hope aboard Nautilus and dive deep into the depths of the ocean.
Does that mean that Singer has uprooted and left the X-Men universe behind? Certainly not.
