Lauren Shuler Donner has to be one of the most powerful women in Hollywood who flies just under the radar so most people don't even know it.

{sidebar id=1}She has a countless amount of high profile projects under her belt and in the works including two favorites from the new X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE film, Deadpool and Gambit.

IESB caught up with Donner during the press day for the newest X-MEN film in Beverly Hills this past weekend for an exclusive video interview.

Gambit, she says is one of her favorite characters, he's "such a rogue."

Will we see Gambit in the upcoming X-MEN FIRST CLASS film? Nope, we won't see Gambit in that, he wasn't part of Xavier's first class a the school, but it looks like we may be seeing him in his own spin off film. 

Donner says, "There are internal discussions" about a Gambit spin-off and "they are going to figure all that out."

What about bringing back X-MEN and X2 director Bryan Singer for another go around?

"Nothing would please me more than to bring Bryan [Singer] on for another movie. And, if it's like the first Deadpool or the first Gambit, I think, I mean, I hope he would be interested..."

Looks like the X-MEN franchise isn't going anywhere and still has a few tricks up her sleeve.

Deadpool and Gambit are coming if Lauren Shuler Donner has her way, and she usually does.
