I think it's official that this will be the "last" X-Men film, and that they're treating it like a trilogy. Here's a quote from the director:

Quote:
"Well, it seems to be the last of the series," Ratner said of the eyebrow-raising title for the third film, "X-Men: The Last Stand," due May 26. "We wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made together like 'Lord of the Rings,' this is really closure for the X-Men series. ... This is the last stand for sure."

Who knows about spin-offs, though. They are planning a standalone Wolverine film with Hugh Jackman.
As for X3 itself... Eh, I really don't know what to expect. I agree that they seem to be jamming way too many "new" characters in one film. I fear the introductions of the mutants themselves will outweigh the plot - like, "Hey, fans! Lookie! It's Beast! There's Angel! There's Shadowcat! We don't even need a decent storyline!" We'll just have to see, I guess.
