Here is a casting update (good or bad, not sure yet) Rumor has it that there's a rivalry between Fox and the WB over X3 and Superman V, with various X-Men actors being wooed by Superman director Bryan Singer to join him. Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) is reportedly meeting with him about a role in his flick, which could throw a wrench in the works for X3 (the two films have conflicting shooting schedules). One thing is supposedly clear, though — James Marsden won't be returning as Cyclops, because he's signed on to play Perry White's son in Superman. (Film Force)

This is not going to do well. I love the first two X Men movies- mostly because of the cast. If they change it up because they think that Superman V is going to be huge, then they can suck the b*lls that I don't have...

Man that is really stupid. X3 may end up being a dead project because of this.

What a shame... I thought the X-Men movie series was the best to come from Marvel, better than Spiderman even. Oh well, guess people are going to have to make do with Superman.
Although there is hope for the X-Men movies. It was reported that if X-Men 3 doesnt progress then they ay just make a spin-off focusing on one character, mayeb Wolverine.

I've got two for ya guys-
Famke Janssen Talks More X-Men 3 Source: Ryan February 11, 2005
Female First chatted with Famke Janssen who talked more about X-Men 3:
"We're hoping to start the third one in spring. I can't wait. The movies are hard work, but the cast is great and we have a lot of fun. Unfortunately Bryan Singer isn't doing this one he's busy making the new Superman film. It saddens me that he won't be on board because he did such an incredible job. He made great movies rather than silly popcorn flicks."
and-
Alan Cumming on X-Men 3! Source: Andrew Weil January 29, 2005
Alan Cumming, who stars as Loki in the action-comedy Son of the Mask, told ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com that he expects to start shooting X-Men 3 this summer. Cumming played mutant Kurt Wagner (aka Nightcrawler) in director Bryan Singer's X2: X-Men United.
"I signed for two films, so I'm going to. The last I heard is that we're starting on the 20th of June, but they don't have a script or a director yet so that may be pushed a little bit. But they have to release it in May of 2006 for some reason so it's gonna be shot in the summer," Cumming said.
"And it's one of these things, I kind of just want to know I'm going to do it cause it affects your whole life. You can do other things cause you know that it's a large amount of time; I'm going to a show on Broadway which I moved to January of next year just to make sure I finished X-Men…Every film you do you have to tell them just in case they're going to get it together really fast. You're under some options; it's quite weird."
After directing the first two "X-Men" films, Singer has moved onto Superman, but Cumming is surprisingly not disappointed. "No. I'm not disappointed; I cannot deny that. I think he's really talented and I'm very proud of the film and I think it's a great film. I didn't enjoy working with him on the film."
Cumming didn't really have any suggestions for a new director though. "No. My mom? It's a really hard act to follow."
He had to go through hours of makeup to transform into Nightcrawler for the last film. "I have this brilliant idea," Cumming added, "I want some kind of fabulous, crazy, terrible thing-some terrible accident happens to Nightcrawler and his face turns white."
I don't think that it is that much of a lost cause... ;D

Alan Cumming's a funny man I hope X3 gets a good director. Bryan Singer was good but since he's gone they are going to have to search for an X-Freak as talented as him. But as long as they keep the screenwriter from the first two films, things should be alright....

^..... It's Colossus... Wasn't Famke Jansson rumored to be casted in Superman? Or was it just James Marsden? James Marsden is going to be in Superman (as Richard White, presumably Perry Whites son), NOT Famke Jansson. She has already said that X3 is her next project in several interviews. She's not going to be in superman.

thats the basic plot, though the movie is also expected to follow nightcrawler as well as bring in a couple others. (Jubalee, gambit, Possibly beast if the budget allows it). I also think it would be neat to have rogue gain her powers from Carol Danvers (Ms Marvel) and have her become a useful addition. More Colassus would also be pretty cool. Oh oh, and sentinals, just so many possibilities. ;D
