Jason Flemyng Confirms X-Men: First Class Sequel Is Being Written!

^^^Ha, brilliant

can we have the original five now please. Ill even let them throw in a logan just to keep the fan boys happy. lets just get down to basics

Yes, we need the original five.

Karen Gillian for Jean Grey!

The writers have had their fun picking what characters they want, now get back to the comic.

no catwoman

the next jean grey

If they go the 70's route, they would be fools to waste Dazzler and Thunderbird. Perfect characters for the era.

Overrated movie. I love how people claim to be comic book fans and rave about source material then praise something that strays away from it. It always starts with some minor changes. Then they change more to makes sense out of the stuff they changed. Next thing you know, we end up with another shit infested abomination that was X3.

I, on the other hand, will sit back and laugh at everyone who buys into the FOX bandwagon just waiting for the day Marvel retrieves the rights to the franchise. Until then, I'll be watching these online like I have since X3.

@Arminies I thought they all went into hiding about four and a half months ago. I mean don't get me wrong, Green Lantern was very close to being the Star Wars of CBMs. Well, close to being the Phantom Menace of CBMs anyway...

@Badbear a movie that should have worked (Green Lantern) bombed critically and commercially. A movie that should have failed (X-Men First Class) was a critical and commercial success. Guess which one's getting a sequel?

@MarvelWeiner you have a First Class avatar?! Colour me confused.

This guy talked too much in the first one. Maybe if they cut down his lines writing the 2nd one will go faster....lol

@nuck82 Bryce is a very good choice!

A sequel to this overrated piece of shit? Great.....

@MarvelWeiner oh cool, what did I win? Is the prize a helmet like yours? We could be helmet buddies, with matching helmets and whatnot! Hey helmet buddy! Thanks for the helmet!

X-FC was the best superhero this year and by some distance

@ nuck82 that would have been perfect but they wanted to tie this movie to the previous trilogy so scott, jean, angel and ice wouldn't have been born yet.

yeah but we're not talking about FF or X3 or daredevil.
I don't get the fox hate. fox made rise of the plaent of tha apes and X:FC and both of those movies are my favortie movies of the year.

@ spiderneil: Nobody is saying FOX makes shit movies. They just make shit comic book movies.

@ bmahall

X1, X2, X:FC

terrific superhero movies. I agree that everything else they've done with superheroes sucks. but they rebooted (or prequeled) x-men and that was great so who is to say they haen't learn't their mistakes with daredevil and FF?

also, look at IM2, marvel are capable of dropping the ball as well as sony or fox.

@ massexecutions

this would confuse the heck out of the general audience

I'm a little indifferent to X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence (I think she would've made a better Rogue had they rebooted the franchise and not cast her as Mystique, but it's a pipe dream now), Rose Byrne, and Kevin Bacon turned in incredibly strong performances. And I like the whole idea of setting the film during the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. But the plot was weird, because there weren't any signs of serious mutant hatred that was being teased at, and various actions of some of the mutants - including Mystique - never made much sense.

Personally, I'd love to see X-Men 4 in the near future. Get everybody's ass back and do something like Days of Future Past or Age of Apocalypse. And how about let Marvel get the rights back, but let FOX continue with the franchise. Time to see Deadpool Reynolds fight with Taskmaster and Bullseye (I doubt Daredevil: Born Again is on the way, so Marvel is due to get the rights to Daredevil any day now), but Ryan Reynolds stays for now.

But if they do a sequel First Class, obviously we need Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm as the other first X-Men. And maybe throw more Brotherhood members like Toad and Sabretooth. I don't know a good early story to kick-start the franchise, so that's pretty much the end of my comments. :-P

@ bmanhall

first and foremost I want a great movie and I want the 'essense' of the character to be there as well.

take the spider-man movies, okay spidey doesn't wise crack but the essense of the character (work problems, no money, has to pay his way, guilt ridden) is all there AND it's a good movie. I don't don't if he doesn't wide crack, doesn't have mech web shooters etc if I am entertained. if I want and exact copy of the comic I'll just read the comic.

movies like daredevil and FF suck because they are rubbish movies not because they stray from the source material. look how far nolan's movie stray from the source material and no one complains about that

spiderneil - I really don't think the general audience is going to put enough though into it to care. But, if its really a concern, then throw some time travel/diminsional shift excuse in there (with cable) and move on.

nuck - I find the idea of taking drinking suggestions from you highly suspect.

FOX should stick with producing good X films like First Class. They should give all the other rights back to Marvel, since Daredevil could potentially be done on a relatively low budget, while I think the F4 would tie in to the current MCU better than the X-Men; the X-Men is too big to fit into the MCU at the moment, they need to expand it slowly, not explode it and watch it all go down in flames.

@RoadDogXXIV I think the main reason there wasnt much mutant hate in the film was because this was back when no one knew they existed. I watched the film a couple hours ago and most of the humans instantly showed animosity towards people they found out were mutants. In fact, the whole thing with the missiles being launched at the island is due to government orders to kill the mutants, so it looks like it's being set up for a sequel. I mean X-Men (2000) started with mutantkind being public knowledge. First Class, logically, has set the film before mutants were known to exist or considered a real threat.

I also agree that the likes of Cyclops, Jean, Storm, and maybe even Angel (really, who gives a shit if it conflicts any more with X3?) should be brought into this film, since First Class ended with Prof. X having only 3 X-Men on his team, while Magneto had at least 5 followers in his brotherhood. And if they do bring in Sabretooth for the Brotherhood, I actually hope Liev Schreiber returns. X-Men Origins Wolverine was a huge let down but Schreiber owned the role of Victor Creed.

I'm just hoping for more Beast action he is my favorite x-men original. And definitely more Magneto being the deranged psychopath that Fassbender played in First Class. Fassbender's performance as magneto made that movie so much better. I also want to see Professor X going bald or already completely bald and at the end of the movie Emma Frost joins the X-men and sets up the third which would hopefully bring us up to date/timeline of the first X-men.

Just keep Vaughn on board and my ass will be planted in a theater seat opening weekend once again. Obviously continuity is NEVER going to happen with a FOX helmed X-and Vaughn is the only guy they've got that can work around the clusterf*cks and make an decent X-men film. He leaves and so does my interest in any future FOX X-men films.
