Jane Goldman on X-Men: First Class sequel ideas.

The X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequel is currently being developed with Simon Kinberg writing the initial script and director Matthew Vaughn and producer Bryan Singer attached. Original ‘First Class’ co-writer Jane Goldman recently spoke with Film School Rejects about the next film and was asked if she would ever consider bringing in characters like Cyclops or Jean Grey.

“You know, I can always make suggestions, and I did last time.” says Goldman. “Ultimately, those decisions come down to someone other than me. Would I, personally [add Cyclops and/or Jean Grey]? Well, it’s really tricky. I think the route we had gone down with First Class — it’s sort of a question of where to go next, and I think those two characters were very strong, especially having [Michael] Fassbender and [James] McAvoy play them so brilliantly.” she continues. “In a comic sense, I still think there’s room for an X-Men [film] with the original X-Men [Laughs]. In terms of how they fit in this new universe that First Class kicked off, I don’t know. I mean, yes, I think there’s room for that. All sorts of ideas have been talked about and Matthew has some particular ideas, and, in this case, all of those decisions will be done through Matthew.”
