While talking with myspace, director of films Bryan Singer said that he has signed on to direct X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. Because X3 killed off most of the X-people (and all the ones I cared about) this new movie will act as a prequel, showing us the creation of Xavier’s school and Xavier’s early relationship with Magneto. Variety has some more details about the story, though not much.
This should be sweet. The X-Men movies just haven’t been as good since Singer left, mostly because the stories have been buns. X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE was definitely better than X3, but that’s pretty easy to manage. At least the Wolverine movie was entertaining, even though the ending kind of stunk. Color me excited for this movie and its eventual homosexual overtones.
