Overview
- Kinberg said on the red carpet that he has tried to make a movie with Wright for over 25 years and sent him “many, many” projects, including X-Men films, which Wright declined.
- The veteran producer either wrote or produced every Fox-era X-Men installment from 2006 through 2020, positioning him to offer multiple opportunities.
- Neither Kinberg nor Wright identified which X-Men titles were offered or gave specific reasons for the refusals.
- Wright has recently reiterated that he does not regret leaving Ant-Man over creative differences and is still on a self-described “cape break.”
- Despite the superhero pass-offs, Kinberg and Wright ultimately teamed up on The Running Man, now in theaters.
