James McAvoy Talks Sequel to X-Men: First Class

James spoke with Total Film about how the X-Men movies are now setup in such way that they will resemble Bryan Singers X-Men films, with Magneto as the bad guy.

X-Men: First Class is a great example of how you can make a good movie, and it makes you forget about all the timeline issues. Well, maybe it doesn't make you forget about them all, but it does give you a brief case of amnesia so that you can enjoy the film.

Have you tried watching a Bryan Singer X-Men movie since you've seen First Class? It's much tougher then you think it would be. Even watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was already hard to watch, just got more difficult when we see Emma Frost as an early twenty year old.

When we asked him if he’d be up for a follow up to Matthew Vaughn’s mutant prequel, McAvoy told us, “I’d be up for it. But the truth is I’m contractually obliged to be up for it because they made us all sign multiple picture deals!”

But does he have any idea where the story will go, following on from the ending of First Class?

“I’ve spoken to Matthew [Vaughn] about ideas, but I can’t tell you what they are because they may or may not be the story. One thing I liked about our one was that it was different from the other three films where the X-Men are the good guys, Wolverine’s figuring out who he is and Magneto is the bad guy.

“This was a completely different thing. Magneto wasn’t a bad guy, we were friends. We’re now set up to go back to the way the other movies are, so we’ve got to try to be cleverer than that.”
