Bryan Singer has confirmed that X-Men: First Class 2 will revolve around the Days of Future Past comic run.

Singer exclusively told IGN that the script is being written now, adding “It’s going to be very ambitious. It’s called Days of Future Past and it deals with aspects of that comic but also some very new things but I don’t want to give any of it away. Matthew Vaughan will be directing and I’m totally excited about it.”

I'm worried. I think they will try to cram too much information into the movie and it will suffer because of it. Or they will change too much.

That's a very ambitious story to bring to the big screen. I would be shocked if it was one movie. I don't see how that would be possible without serious cuts.

Yeah, after my nerdgasm finally subsided, I started to think about all the ways it could get screwed up. Not having sentinels, choosing weaker team members, changing the story too much, etc. But really, after the brutal rape of the Dark Phoenix saga (aka X3) I think I can handle anything. I'm not saying I'll automatically like it, but it can't be as soul crushing as X3 was.

That said, I'm still far more excited than cynical. We've had five X-men movies now and none of them have been great in my opinion. So I'm glad they are taking a risk with a major story line.

Suprisingly, I liked First Class probably the best. I didn't think I would. So, I'm interested in seeing what he can do with this storyline.

And if there's no Sentinels, there's no point.

Absolutely. At the very least there needs to be sentinels in the future, hopefully with some great action scenes. Maybe even showing them kill many of the X-men.

I would love it if they went further and established the sentinels in the present too so that, either the end of the movie or the next movie it could be similar to the "Final Decision" episode from the animated series with an epic battle against the sentinels. Unfortunately, I don't think they would go that route, but I think there are a lot of ways you can tell this story and it can still be good.

I just really hope they use the right characters and give them the scenes they deserve.

The X-Men movie series needs to be rebooted period. Especially since The Avengers have shown they are willing to go with absolute fantasy (deep space threats, "Gods") and not try and fit them into the real world.

If you reboot the X-Men it needs to be the original five members. Use that cast to fight Magneto and have their battle bring mutant existence to the public eye.

Then in the next movie have it set so many years later with Senator Kelly pushing the Sentinel project as a response to the "mutant" threat. And then you can bring in more characters with the sequel, like Wolverine. And meanwhile there is some mysterious figure pulling all the strings that will lead up to a conclusion in the final movie.

I couldn't agree more, but either Singer or Vaughn or both seem to like that approach. And as long as the movies do well enough to keep the X-men rights in Fox's hands, I don't think we'll get anything like the Avengers.

I hope I'm wrong though and that Singer's comment about expanding the universe means they will change direction on that front.

Haven't cared for any of the X-Men movies yet, but I am a huge fan of the comics.

[BigFish]

well apparently Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen are signed on to reprise there roles as professor x and magneto, so that's pretty cool

"This movie's gonna be not only quite epic, 'Days of Future Past,' but it also takes place in completely different times than the 'X Men' movies have taken place," he said. "There'll be new technology, new things we haven't seen before in 'X-Men' films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn't be done yet, so it's not so much sequel. It's more of its own kinda thing."

There are science fiction aspects of the movie, and then there’s some retro science fiction that the X-Men films haven’t had quite yet. So we’re exploring that, which will be fun. And there’s an attitude [difference]. We discover our characters, particularly the younger characters, at a different place in their lives. Every character you discover in this movie is in a completely different place than you’ve ever seen, emotionally, and it's about them moving through that.

Jackman, Paquin, Page, and Ashmore are all returning as well. Singer has been sending mixed signals too about how much he's going to keep to the continuity of the first three films. He's said he won't ignore the events of X3, but that he will be in a position to "repair" a few things.

Just the fact that he's said we're going to see new things and technologies that we haven't seen in X-men movies before, though, has me extremely excited.

Halle Berry just confirmed she's returning. Horrible news.

Worst superheroes in recent movies:
1) Nic Cage as GR
2) Halle Berry as Storm
