Total Film features a chat with director Matthew Vaughn, producer Bryan Singer, and actor James McAvoy about ideas for potential X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequels.
Vaughn says the ending of First Class sets up potential sequels that will be even more fun. “You have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to know them, but that takes time. With the second [film] you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time.”
With First Class taking place in 1962, Vaughn says a sequel can explore the late 60’s or the early 70’s, saying “1962 is far more grounded in the world of the ’50s. I think it takes about five years for a decade to really start getting its identity, so the fun thing about this for me would be doing [a sequel] in the latter part of the decade, where you’ve got The Stones, The Beatles, Flower Power…”
Singer agrees, saying “That’s an idea that’s been discussed. How the characters go through time. But only to a point – they can’t age too fast!”
McAvoy would like to see his character Charles Xavier “getting himself out of a mess” in future films, saying “In First Class he uses Cerebro for the first time and maybe it unlocks something in his head – maybe he can’t keep the voices out or something.”
vvvery Xxxxtremely SUPER AWESOME IDEAS WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW ohhh yeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!
Great! Still excited about the film.
Hahahaha the nly thing here is that trought the years i have waited 3 years from each xmen film.. and I got tired to wait more.. waiting for 3 years is so last decade.. i say they should wait only a year and film the movies xd
Definitely!
Id like to see Emma eventually join the X-Men and maybe see Sinister play a part in the early days of the X-Men, I think it’d be interesting to see how they evolve through time.
Good ideas!!
good news again.
Cant wait for the sequel in the 80’s, it would be a fan favourite, I think.
I agree.
Nice!
But I think they should keep the characters and not kill them off!
Hopefully they don’t kill too many characters off!
