It can now be reported Matthew Vaughn is fully on board. Simon Kinberg shares his ideas for the story here.

DARTH POWER
Awsome! I hope it does focus mainly on Magneto and Xavier like the first film.

Also hoping Magneto stays a redeemable character like he is in the comics.

Can't wait for that.

But I'm sure Avengers, TDKR and TAS will keep me busy this year smile

Robtard
Second Class, damn, I'm too clever.

* just hope Marvel Studios will buy the rights back, so they can make an Avengers vs X-men movie... smile

I haven't read X-Men comics in a looong time but seriously is Magneto THAT integral to all their stories & adventures?

Magneto IMO should've been phased out after X2...I'm seriously getting bored watching him in every X-Men movie regardless of the actor or period of his life.

From all 4 movies so far, we already know what his capabilities are & how the X-Men react to them.

Bring in the Mr Sinister.

Yeah, I kinda feel the same way about Magneto in the movies at this point as I do about the overuse of Lex Luthor in the Superman films, which I guess was why I enjoyed the Sebastian Shaw performance in First Class much more than I did Mags, aside from the fact it was Kevin Bacon.

Might as well bring in Apocalypse too then if they're ever gonna have him, though I doubt they'll go that route.

-Pr-
You can do Sinister without Apocalypse, and do it well imo.

Ridley_Prime
Yeah, I know he can work pretty good without Apocalypse too, but it would be awesome to have him as well IMO, whether Sinister remains completely loyal to him or secretly works against him after awhile. I've been hoping for some radical live action interpretation of at least one of them (Poccy a little more-so) since The Last Stand or X2, however unlikely that may be.

DARTH POWER
I do think they did overuse Magneto as the Villain in X-Men 1-3. Just as they overused Wolverine as the main hero Imo.

But for First Class I think it works perfect having Charles and Eric as the main characters. And I hope they don't change that.

As long as they keep Magneto "Redeemable" as long as they can, and have new interesting Villains and Heroes aiding this new trilogy along.

Darth Jello
I've been reading some of Claremont's old stuff and would definitely like to see the Mauraders and the X-Factor part of Fall of the Mutants in the theaters at this point. If they made Professor X Death, they could explain away him walking in some of the flashbacks from the first movies.

roughrider
If they are going to stay the historical route - say they moved into the mid 1970's - things that were in the news then were the rise of apartheid in South Africa. Perfect time to something metaphorical on that in the form of Genosha. The X-Men struggle to end the regime while Magneto and his crew view it as the place to have a mutant homeland.

Perfect. If you read Fall of the Mutants and its Daredevil tie-in, Apocalypse's ship and four horsemen attacking Manhattan in a third movie would fit in perfectly with the 1977 New York Blackout.

Even though he looked like an 11-year-old, he'd actually been alive since the mid-century at this point - he was actually about 50 He had all the grown up urges. He's growing up in his mind but his body isn't capable of handling it, which makes him quite cranky. And, of course, looking like an 11-year-old, who'd take him seriously in the criminal community? So he built himself an agent in a sense, which was Mister Sinister, that was, in effect, the rationale behind Sinister's rather - for want of a better word - childish or kid-like appearance.

It will be penned by the screenwriter who botched x-men 3, not really looking forward to yet another fox studio screw job of the title I have collected since 1975. so far Iron man 1 2 and the avengers are all very well done, note the studio, it is not fox or Sony. I will be glad when 20th century fox gets the hell out of the way and stops screwing up the X-Men.

First Class is one of the greatest superhero movies I've ever seen.

The only Marvel studios films which "might" be equal or superior are Iron Man 1 and The Avengers.

And I don't personally believe just because Marvel studios is making a movie that it's going to be great. Iron man 2 was pretty disappointing.

It has been a sticking point, how much the studio puts into it versus the careful control Marvel Studios has shown with their Avengers series. Even having a braintrust from Marvel Comics to consult. Other Marvel related films outside of Marvel Studios had been slagging off in quality for several years, right after Spider Man 2. First Class was a good showing by Fox that they still care and can make a good quality Marvel film again (if they didn't, they would be under pressure to let Marvel Studios have the rights back.)

Oh yeah definitely would be wise to help sell the movie after her success with Hunger Games.

But also Mystique always was Magnetos right hand in the Originals so makes sense anyway.

In First Class 2 she could act as the remaining bridge between Xavier and Eric.

One doesn't need to be a main character in order to get killed by Sentinels. stick out tongue

Darth Jello
A thought since the statements are that this movie will tie the prequels to the original X-Men movies and that one major character will be introduced to challenge Magneto.

What if they combine Days of Future Past with the original Rachel Summers arc from the Chris Claremont run spanning from Just before the Secret Wars to the prelude to the mutant massacre?
The movie could end with the brotherhood taking the place of the hellfire club battling Nimrod and the death of much of the brotherhood and possibly Rachel reuniting Mags and Xavier as allies and friends.

Bryan Singer knows what to do with an X-Men film. It's a shame that Matthew Vaughn is showing his skittish side again, jumping off yet another project, but Singer is the one you'd want to carry the ball from here.

StiltmanFTW
I wasn't overly impressed with First Class...

Ridley_Prime
While there's obviously worse people that could be doing it than Singer, I too would've still preferred Vaughn as director again. Singer was the writer of First Class though IIRC, so maybe he'll show more promise at this point than with the first two X-Men films he directed that were (IMO) average at best.

Cyclops as leader thanks.

Also, new X-men characters or cast. I was not at all impressed with the previous cast except for Fassbender and McAvoy. Everyone else was either barely okay or crap.

Cyclops
Beast
Ice Man
Jean Grey
Nightcrawler

Maybe Angel, but he must turn into Archangel, i.e. Sinister as a villain.

And I still can't get over what Singer did to Superman's Return.

Well the story was about those 2. So it worked really. The others were just shitty background characters they had to put in because they couldn't make it the actual First Class: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Ice-Man, Beast and Angel.

Well, at least we'll be getting the best of both live action worlds of Xavier and Mags if that's the case. Jackman's Wolverine better be just another cameo at most though, while they can focus on wanking him all they want in his own confirmed sequel.

Ah, who am I kidding.

Darth Jello
Originally posted by Darth Jello

Post-days of future past, Rachel Summers comes to the present and is depicted as a marginally powerful telepath and telekinetic who is severely traumatized and has PTSD flashbacks to being a hound and in a concentration camp. She gets even more ****ed up when she finds out her mom is dead and her dad remarried.

The big moment happens in Uncanny X-Men 192. Rachel has a flashback where she interacts with Kate Pryde, the Kitty from her future and has her last conversation before being sent to the present as they prepare to take out Nimrod in the future. It ends with them Kate saying goodbye, Rachel refuses to leave her. Kate says, "Who says you have a choice...DARK PHOENIX!!!.

At this point the scene shifts to the present and you realize that Dark Phoenix was a mentally embeded trigger word to unlock Rachel's full power. From here on in she becomes increasingly more powerful and violent, trying to hunt down the X-Men's enemies, especially Selene and bonding with part of the Phoenix force. Magneto stops her from killing some kids trying to bomb Xavier's office.
The turning point is when she forcibly steals the X-Men's lives in order to try to kill the Beyonder. They end up growing more and more wary of her until Wolverine is forced to stab her in the heart when she tries to kill Selene.

I want to see the Dark Phoenix Scene.

Honestly I'm amazed, seeing as over the two movies they basically shat all over him. Horrible screen time, a bastardisation of his relationship with Jean to first, make him the woman in the relationship, and second, to overplay her attraction to Logan.

It would have been nice, but I can't help thinking it would have been two movies too late.

DARTH POWER
What the Original movies did to Cyclops was a CBM CRIME!

I wouldn't assume anything based on Singer taking over though. Everything was already pretty much in place for this movie (in terms of plot and story) before he took over.

Well Cyclops was supposed to play a big part in the Phoenix story, and yet the movies had him play a completely useless part in that.

Cyclops was destroyed by these X-Men movies and that's not going to change anytime soon. This sequel is going to center on Magento and even if Cyclops is in it it's almost guaranteed that even Wolverine's Cameo will play a much larger role.

Halle just seems like a bad idea. Didn't she have fits about needing a bigger role in X3? Keep her out of it and introduce a younger Storm, preferably with a mohawk.

But then bringing in Marsden as Cyclops as a minor character again is sad.

Them being in it at all outside of cameos just puts me off, tbh.

DARTH POWER
I'm guessing Cyclops and Storm will be just Cameos. There's no way Singer will give them a role which even approaches Wolverine's role. That's just something we have to accept with the X-Verse Singer has created.

But as long as Young Eric and Charles remain the main characters I have high hopes for this movie.

I was disappointed when I heard Vaughn wouldn't be directing, but Singer already was involved with First Class and it's sequel.

He will obviously be wanting to make his name back after his f**k up with SR, so I'm hoping that will work in favor of this movie.

Honestly, I didn't like it. While I can see why people would say it's a good movie, I don't think it was a good x-men movie.

DARTH POWER
^ Well yeah I mean up until First Class none of the X-Men movies were actually good "X-Men" movies. But at least X2 was a "good movie".

I think this part's sort of a joke. Because I just read he said his 3 lines in First Class took 3 hours.

So 4hrs plus just means it will be a bigger part this time.

So still no idea how small or large his role will be. I'm hoping it's just a few scenes in the future.

I hope he doing loads of consulting for Days of Future Past. And I hope Singer is listening!

Too excited for this. I should probably calm down considering how far away it still is and how Singer is capable of screwing anything up!

Darth Jello
I just hope I'm not disappointed with Singer taking on something this big. I mean even with The Last Stand, that shit was only about 60% Ratner's fault and most of the rest was Singer's inability to stay committed and desire to make a really bad Superman movie. Even then I held out some hope before the movie came out because Even though everything else Ratner ever did with his life is total shit, he hit Red Dragon out of the park.

FUTURE PAST To Be Set Over 10 Years After The Events Of FIRST CLASS

DARTH POWER
^ Ice-Man, Rogue and Kitty are in this?

A bit strange Emma won't be back after the ending of First Class.

Ridley_Prime
Well I wasn't sure Emma would've wanted to be a part of Magneto's Brotherhood anyway. Was hoping she'd be back in this sequel though with better writing/better role, but eh... Maybe they're saving her for a 3rd film.

Glad to see those others confirmed though. Hopefully we'll get a better Rogue than what we got in any of the previous movies. Then again, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

I want to see Rogue flying around the place and kicking arse.

Ridley_Prime
Me too, but if we're getting the same movie Rogue as before like how we're apparently getting the same Cyclops actor as from the originals, etc., that probably won't happen.

-Pr-
Given that it's Bryan Singer, I can't see him doing anything other than picking up where he left off.

Obviously I'd love to be wrong, but...

DARTH POWER
I want to see an super strong, flying Rogue and Ice-Man making Ice slides, ice-weapons, ice-shields e.t.c.

Unfortunately I think Pr is right about it being pretty unlikely with Singer in charge.

Wait is that caste right? There's no mention of Cyclops or Storm in there.

Kazenji
Mark Miller's saying you can expect Sentinels and Kitty Pryde fans won't be disappointed

Shadowcat was one of the highlights of Last Stand, I thought. An older version of her is going to be interesting enough...

Ridley_Prime
Shadowcat was alright, but Beast was the number 1 highlight of Last Stand, even surpassing the Beast from First Class, IMO. Guess it's not fair to compare them though since FC had a much younger version of Hank.

Beast was the best thing about it, yeah.

DARTH POWER
This film is getting better and better.

The main thing is they seem to understand that an ensemble cast only works when everyone has their moment to shine and a purpose in the movie.

Could We See A Fully CG Character ?

Obviously they're just referring to the Sentinels.

Or not.

OH CRAP! Singer's gonna ruin this isn't he?

Why Singer? Why?

Kazenji
Only thing i can of is his role in the future timeline being large.

DARTH POWER
^ Yeah to be fair it can't be That Large a role in the whole film if he only found out about it a couple of months ago.

And giving him a decent size role will probably help attract the bigger audience which First Class didn't seem to do despite it being the best X film to date in the opinion of most people who have seen it.

mr.smiley
Arcade? Sugarman? PUck?

Kazenji
Its going to be a villain character
