Looking forward to a middle-aged Hale Berry being impaled with a spear?

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.

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.
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.
