Matthew Vaughn is back to direct the X-MEN FIRST CLASS Sequel, with Bryan Singer as Producer. Fox has just closed a deal with Matthew Vaughn to direct the sequel and Bryan Singer back as producer, with Simon Kinberg writing the script. It was inevitable that this sequel would be made, since Fox has had already stated that it envisions X-Men: First Class as the first film of a new trilogy.
One of the best action-sci-fi movies of 2011 was X-MEN FIRST CLASS. It was the movie that really resurrected the X-Men franchise from the ugly damage caused by the lousy "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" and the phenomenally lousier "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" X-MEN FIRST CLASS made the X-Men movies cool again, and made people realize that there are still so many great X-Men stories out there to be recreated on film.
It would be safe to assume that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender would be returning as Professor Xavier and Erik "Magneto" Lensherr, that goes for the rest of the cast too. I would particularly want to see Rose Byrne again as Moira Mactaggert. But I am so curious if Wolverine's cameo in 'First Class' would bring him into a bigger role for the second movie. I say Not Yet. 'First Class' proved that it could be a success even without Wolverine around (the first three X-Men movies directed by Bryan Singer, seemed to have over-exposed Wolverine's role in the X-Men movies anyway). But if ever he does get to appear on a bigger role, let's just hope it's gonna be more faithful to the comics; brooding, silent, ruthless, almost villainous.
