Jason Flemyng on X-Men: First Class sequel.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actor Jason Flemyng, who played Azazel in the movie, was asked if a sequel to the Matthew Vaughn-directed film was in the works. The actor tells Empire Magazine and fans on Twitter that the film has met 20th Century Fox’s expectations at the box office:

“I’d love to do a sequel.” he said. “We shot enough fight sequences to do an Azazel fight movie. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. The [first] film had to take $350 million worldwide to merit a sequel. It took $356 million, so watch this space.”

Last we heard, the sequel was in internal discussions at Fox. Producers are currently focused on THE WOLVERINE and possibly DEADPOOL, though it’s only a matter of time before a sequel is greenlit.
