When talking to his experience with the director was “not pleasant”.
In the wake of the quickly multiplying misconduct allegations mounting against Singer, his career has taken a huge hit. Although Bohemian Rhapsody was an awards favorite, the film Amber Tamblyn has offered to take his spot in the director’s chair.
Singer is largely responsible for shaping Fox’s successful X-Men franchise, having launched the team to fame with his 2000 big screen adaptation. X2, the next in the series that he helmed Days of Future Past is also considered one of the better films centering on the team. Despite this, his time with Marvel’s Marvelous Mutants has clearly reached its end. X-Men: Apocalypse was a bloated mess that was neither a hit with critics or fans. Singer was replaced by longtime X-Men scribe Simon Kinberg for the final Fox installment, Dark Phoenix. After the massacre that was The Last Stand, fans are desperately hoping to see the iconic X-Men story done justice. Both the #Me Too and Time's Up movements have been making undeniable strides towards ensuring that those intent on abusing their power can no longer find employment, but there's still plenty of work to be done. The X-Men already have a fairly substantial rogues gallery without adding real-life supervillains to the mix.
