First Class has remained my top film of the weak last year so, great news.

Magneto has to be in this film as well he was amazing in FC.

The young Magneto is a high lite like Gandalf was in X2. lol !

Here is a rumor that would be cool

I could see it as away at fixing the mess that is X3 and doing a much better Phoenix saga down the road. I would love to see an opening sequence where most of the X-men are killed by sentiles and maybe Bishop? Kitty Pride? Is sent back to the past to stop it and then it creates an alternate future like in Star Trek.

I think this is awesome

By far the best storyline of the X-men and it will make a great movie. I imagine Hugh Jackman, Ian Mckellan, Patrick Stewart, and others will be back in the beginning. It could be a good way to make it a reboot (ala Star Trek).

Was just about to post this.

I think this is one of the storylines that everyone wanted them to make. I suspect that they'll use this to connect the cast from First Class to some of those from the original X-Men trilogy?

Yeah I bet Mckellan, Jackman, and Stewart will be back. They could bring back Marsden, the guy who played Iceman, and Colossus. I suppose they could bring back Paquin as well. I don't see Berry coming back.

If they bring back Jackman, Stewart and McKellen and make this in 3D, this will open to $100+ million.

Thats right - would be fantastic if you had Jackman, Stewart and McKellan alongside Fassbender and co. Agree would be HUGE!

I think it has huge potential even though Jackman, Stewart, and Mckellan would probably just have 5 minute roles. However, who wouldn't want to see Wolverine and Magento destroy some Sentinels.

Maybe it's because he impregnated January Jones.

Bryan Singer is a good replacement though since he knows these characters.

It's not like First class wasn't a Bryan Singer film anyway. He was involved in the story, there pretty much the entire shooting schedule, and heavily involved in the editing process.

It was Ashton Kutcher. Seriously.

Whichever directs/produces, I have a very good feeling about this one.

It was Jon Hamm.

wrong, it was the emmy nomination voters from 2 years ago

So Vaughn skips Kick Ass 2 to do First Class 2, and is now out of that? I bet he'll take on Snow White 2 now, just to tie up loose ends.

I do wonder why unless Singer is pushing him out just to direct the movie.

Bryan Singer should have no more involvement in this franchise.

We've got a winner!

Me too X2 is still the best X-Men film and one of the best comic book movies. I think Singer really wants to make up for having to leave X3 as well. I suspect we will see Mckellan, Stewart, Jackman, and Mardsen all back for the future sequence. Perhaps Paquin and several others will also return.

I'm bored of these X-Men movies now. I am following the Wolverine trail, only.

X2 and Superman Returns are my favorite superhero movies. I'm beyond pleased Singer is directing this, even though I admire and enjoy what Vaughn accomplished with First Class a great deal.
