They did? I had read something about Tom Rothman saying there would be a fourth film after X3's big opening weekend on the MovieBlog I think it was but then Dark Horizons had a statement from Avi Arad stating there would be no X4:

With "X-Men: The Last Stand" opening big at the box-office, speculation quickly arose that a fourth "X-Men" film may be rushed into development. The talk came despite the studios insistence that 'The Last Stand' would be the final film in the trilogy.
Well Fox are sticking to their guns, but Marvel head Avi Arad confirmed that there are no plans for an "X-Men 4" in the works, but their two proposed spin-off films are still very much on the cards.
Arad told the trades that "The first reaction, which we should discard, is here comes 'X-Men 4'. We're working on 'Wolverine,' which is definitely a continuation, and we have a very interesting script about a young Magneto".
Will Fox change their tune and pressure him for a fourth? Seems unlikely due to the expense involved. In many ways it now seems that "Wolverine" will serve as the unofficial fourth film sometime either in 2008 or 2009.

I fuck up in my wording in my previous post it seems but it's still unclear if X4 is getting the go ahead. Then again didn't Avi Arad just resign from Marvel? I'd imagine they might take a different stance on whether they decide to go along with a fourth film with Arad gone?
