Major studios need franchises and Watts' successes have included the rekindling of the Planet of the Apes and X-Men series. X-Men: First Class introduced a new cast in 2011 followed by this year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. For the latter she brought back director Bryan Singer of the first X-Men movie from 2000.
