Coming Soon recently spoke with Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tom Rothman, who briefly mentioned the developing X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequel:

Both [X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES] were really great scripts and so we have to be sure to get great scripts again [on the sequels],” Rothman said. “We’re working hard on the scripts for both of them, but we have every hope of moving forward with them.”

Rothman also confirmed that the studio is hoping to get director Matthew Vaughn back on board, though official talks won’t likely begin until there’s an initial script in place.
