caught the end of an interview this morning on the radio with some of the x-men actors (Anna Paquin, i think Shawn Ashmore, and one other)
anyway, from what was said, there was every indication that this will be the last x-men movie, so those that keep saying there is gonna be a 4 or 'as long as these make money they'll keep making them' please either post a source for this info or simply state that this is just your opinion/wishful thinking.
all signs point to this being the last x-men movie

With the number of stars and the fact that they all have higher salary demands each time they return, it would be cost-prohibitive to make an X-4. They are currently toying with spin-off ideas.
Hugh Jackman has already mentioned that a Wolverine movie is in the works, and he is interested in reprising the role.
Ian McKellan has expressed extreme interest in doing a Magneto backstory movie
Another idea that has been rumored is doing a New Mutants type spin-off featuring some of the younger (ie background) mutants from the X-Men movies.
