Joss Whedon talked to fans at High Stakes 2004, a John Kerry fund-raising event, where he said he wouldn't be writing or directing X-Men 3, Sci Fi Wire reports. "I did promise I would say whether or not I'm going to be directing the third X-Men movie, and the answer is, I'm sorry to say, no," Whedon said. "Quite frankly, I thought about it for a long time, I looked into my heart, and I realized that Fox didn't ask me to," he added, with tongue in cheek. Whedon added, "Ultimately, the fact that I'm writing the X-Men every month in the Astonishing X-Men and that I have the best artists in comic books working with me is getting my 'X' fix on just fine. I'm writing a screenply of my own right now, and it'll be nice to work on something that wasn't created by me or anybody else many years ago."
