In an interview with Wizard Universe, Joss Whedon talked about the rumours regarding him writing and directing "X-Men 4":

WIZARD: There's a rumor swirling that you're going to write and direct an "X-Men 4" movie. Care to comment?

WHEDON: I haven't heard the rumor, but there is no rumor that is not swirling. I don't even know, are they even going to have an "X4"? I had been talking with [Marvel Studios] about "X3," but the dates didn't line up. So I took on "Wonder Woman," and that worked out great! Oh, no wait, I remember now, not so much.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about "X4." You know, the problem with the big superhero movies is there are so many hands [involved], but I really respect [Marvel Studios President of Production] Kevin Feige if they make something like that. You know they're actually going to make it as opposed to something that's in limbo. And you know I do love the characters. I wouldn't say never. But right now, I'm interested in doing "Goners," which is my own thing, as opposed to somebody else's. I find that doing someone else's thing is not working out so well for me--anywhere but in the word of actual comics.
