My belief is that Brett Ratner went into this movie assured that it would be the last one. Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, and Halle Berry all confirmed this to be true. It was made aware to them that Fox Movies was going to go ahead with plans to develop both a Wolverine prequel, and a seperate Magneto prequel. Both would turn into their own seperate Franchises.

So Fox in order to captalize on the "last one" rushed X-Men 3 into the movie theaters to beat out Superman. When in actuality if it was given the amount of production time it deserved it would have been in a race with Spiderman 3 to the box office.

So Ratner did what he thought would be a service to "Fan Boys". He squeezed 90 different plots, and all the characters into one movie. He killed off a bunch of the main characters, and rendered a couple of others powerless since this definately would be the last one. So he thought...

A week before X-Men 3 opened they announced the possibility that there would be more. Now after the record opening it is confirmed...there will be more X-Men.
