Simon Kinberg<\/strong> has begun work on the screenplay for an upcoming sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, according to Superhero Hype<\/a>! Kinberg is no stranger to the X-Men universe, having produced ‘First Class’ and co-written X-MEN: THE LAST STAND. No word yet if Vaughn and producer\/ storymaker Bryan Singer are involved, though one would hope that 20th Century Fox would want to keep their successful formula intact.<\/p>\n

Actor Jason Flemyng<\/strong> (Azazel) recently told Digital Spy<\/a> “There was a benchmark that [the first film] had to hit box office-wise before they could start writing the next one, which they’ve started.” Fox wanted at least $350 million in worldwide box office to merit a sequel. The film brought in $356 million.<\/p>\n

A sequel could make its way to theaters by 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
