Deadline reports that Bryan Singer has recently closed a deal with 20th Century Fox to direct the X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequel, titled X -MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Mathew Vaughn dropped out after deciding to film “The Secret Service” for Fox instead; he will likely recieve producer’s credit.

Set to return are the major players from “First Class,” including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult. Actors from Singer’s original X-MEN trilogy are also planned to reprise their iconic roles for the film, which is said to span multiple time periods and timelines.

Singer had originally planned on directing “First Class,” before switching over as producer and sweet-talking Vaughn into the coveted gig.

Filming begins early next year for a July 18, 2014 release.
