X-Men: First Class sequel could begin filming by Fall?

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS starlet Jennifer Lawrence is an actress in demand! THR reports that 20th Century Fox is considering a possible early Fall 2012 shoot for the sequel, to be directed by Matthew Vaughn. Problem is Lionsgate’s THE HUNGER GAMES wants to shoot their sequel during Summer 2012. Schedules may conflict should Fox proceed with a Fall start; the studio is said to have an iron-clad option on Lawrence that trumps Lionsgate’s. Both studio deny any conflict. “They are both making accommodations for her.” a rep for Lawrence told the site.

THE WOLVERINE currently has a July 26, 2013 release date. Will Fox go for two X-MEN films in 2013 or release FIRST CLASS 2 in 2014? Vaughn’s first film had only 9 months from filming to theatrical release. Luckily they struck gold! Will they repeat the formula?
