Since Warner began developing a remake of the successful

comic-book franchise in 1993, it has spent nearly $10 million in

directed “X-Men” and its sequel, was named on July 18 to

replace Joseph McGinty Nichol, known as McG, who left the

project after refusing to board a plane to Australia, where the
