Before X-Men: First Class came out, it 
Fox has just closed a deal with Matthew Vaughn to come back and direct the sequel to X-Men: First Class, with Simon Kinberg writing the script and Bryan Singer back as producer. [Deadline]
The last one had Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (Thor) and Jane Goldman and Vaughn (Kick-Ass) writing the script, while Simon Kinberg previously wrote the Ratner X-Men, Jumper, Sherlock Holmes, and that upcoming McG movie, This Means War, which makes him perhaps not the most promising-sounding candidate. But it’s super hero movie, so it’ll probably get six rewrites anyway. In any case, the good news is that Matthew Vaughn will be directing the next X-Men movie. The bad news is that Matthew Vaughn will be directing the next X-Men movie, and not something potentially more badass. It will also be interesting to see where they go with titles. I’m assuming the Rambo-esque “X-Men First Class Part 2″ will be the play here, but with all these reboots and origin stories and sequels of prequels of origin story reboots, these things are going to need footnotes before long. Rise of the Planet of the Apes Part 2 dash 1 to the power of Spider-Man. X-Man Up to Tha Streets.

Blah blah blah Michael Fassbender’s penis.
Here’s to hoping that they replace January Jones with Fassbender in drag with half the budget devoted to airbrushing out his crotch in post-production
I heard that they were going to replace her with Andy Serkis in a mo-cap suit. Finally, Emma Frost with the soul of an actor.
He’s probably flipping through Victoria’s Secret catalogs as we speak.
Wouldn’t a sequel to an X-Men prequel be the fucking X-Men?
X-Men: Sophomores just sounds like a porno.
Just call it X-Men F. Classbender.
Please do not disparage J.Jones’s work in XMFC. She could make herself as hard as a diamond. Also me.
I really liked Stardust. That is all.
Here here.
If they’re going to keep this in the 60′s, why not just go all-in and bring in Daredevil and the Fantastic 4?
60s Kirby-esque Fantastic Four would be amazing.
First Class was such a Forrest Gump rip-off. 1960s? Wheel-chairs? Ugh, I’m not an idiot.
I think I was the only one in the world that was dissapointed in this movie. It’s probably because I read nothing but glowing reviews and it was hyped up for me (something I try to avoid with movies) but aside from Fassenbender and a few other things it was really disappointing. January Jones and Kevin Bacon were atrocious and the plot made no sense at all. It had a lot of promise but it almost seemed like everything decent in the first half was completely undone in the second half. Oh well. Here’s hoping the next one is better.
What in God’s name is that header pic from? Is that a photoshop or did Fassbender really do a take in that getup?
It from a scene that was. It where Prof. X projects Dragneto into the butterfly chick’s mind.
Also, I just copyrighted “Dragneto”. STREET LAW!!!
It’s from a scene that was CUT. Focking oiPhone.
X-Men: Economy Plus
Yessss.
I hope they get a bigger budget this time, though. Some of the effects in the first one were pretty bargain basement. Like, distractingly bad.
