With the release of Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class on DVD and Blu-Ray in UK, Jason Flemyng (Azazel) talked to Digital Spy about the upcoming sequel, which according to him, is being written right now. More below...

"There was a benchmark that they had to hit box office-wise before they could start writing the next one, which they've started. We'll just see how the DVD goes and then fingers crossed I'll be bright red again by next summer."


Considering that the DVD and Blu-Ray sale is doing good, I think we can expect some official announcment soon.



X-MEN: FIRST CLASS unveils the epic beginning of the X-Men saga – and a secret history of the Cold War and our world at the brink of nuclear Armageddon. As the first class discovers, harnesses, and comes to terms with their formidable powers, alliances are formed that will shape the eternal war between the heroes and villains of the X-Men universe.

Been out in the UK four days now, picked up my copy, still just as good as I remember it to be. Best CBM of the year. Original five not needed as proved by First Class and the X2, best X films and neither include the original five.

Yes, we need the original five.

Karen Gillian for Jean Grey!

The writers have had their fun picking what characters they want, now get back to the comic.

you guys realise Jean will be around 10 or in her early teens unless they make the sequel a lot nearer to the first film.

If they go the 70's route, they would be fools to waste Dazzler and Thunderbird. Perfect characters for the era.

Bought the blu-ray today, watched it for the second time, and loved it just as much as the first time.

@Arminies I thought they all went into hiding about four and a half months ago. I mean don't get me wrong, Green Lantern was very close to being the Star Wars of CBMs. Well, close to being the Phantom Menace of CBMs anyway...

@Badbear a movie that should have worked (Green Lantern) bombed critically and commercially. A movie that should have failed (X-Men First Class) was a critical and commercial success. Guess which one's getting a sequel?

@Badbear ignore that. I dont know you very well either.

@MarvelWeiner you have a First Class avatar?! Colour me confused.

I hope that they go with the idea of Magneto curving the bullet to kill JFK. I mean: if "Watchmen" can get away with their little JFK kill clip, then they can do it too.

This guy talked too much in the first one. Maybe if they cut down his lines writing the 2nd one will go faster....lol

i would love to see Sentinels or Mister Sinister or Apocalypse on the next one.

@nuck82 Bryce is a very good choice!

If his part is anything like the previous film he should have his lines memorized already!

Boy oh boy , how times change. I remember everyone and their mom +grandma hating this movie from concept up until the first review. Ha!

@MarvelWeiner oh cool, what did I win? Is the prize a helmet like yours? We could be helmet buddies, with matching helmets and whatnot! Hey helmet buddy! Thanks for the helmet!

Awesome news. First Class was fantastic.

It's too bad they used (misused) Warren in X3, otherwise I would say they should bring in the Original 5.

X-FC was the best superhero this year and by some distance
nuck82
nuck82 - 11/3/2011, 1:54 PM
@GraphicCity i still hate it if they dont use the o.g. 5, just sayin
spiderneil
spiderneil - 11/3/2011, 1:58 PM
@ nuck82 that would have been perfect but they wanted to tie this movie to the previous trilogy so scott, jean, angel and ice wouldn't have been born yet.
spiderneil
spiderneil - 11/3/2011, 2:01 PM
yeah but we're not talking about FF or X3 or daredevil.
I don't get the fox hate. fox made rise of the plaent of tha apes and X:FC and both of those movies are my favortie movies of the year.
