In 2000 The
X-Men Franchise became one of the first comic book movies to hit it big at the box office and started what by now seems like a revoloution of comics to the silver screen, The man behind the camera was Bryan Singer. The success of the first movie would lead to a sequel in 2003 with Singer again directing. Then when it came time for a third movie Singer dropped out and went on to direct
Superman Returns.
After the fans got a piece of
X-Men: The Last Stand most were begging for Singer to return. Then we had the prequel
X-Men: First Class, which was going to see Singer return as dirctor. Then schedule conflicts forced Singer to take a smaller role as a producer with the original
X-Men: The Last Stand, Matthew Vaughn taking the helm.
In a set report for
X-Men: First Class by
LA TIMES a paragraph stated that Bryan Singer was looking for a return as the dirctor for another
X-Men movie:
Now he’s returning as a producer for this “X-Men” installment and still hopes to direct another X-movie in the near future. He praised Vaughn’s vision and attention to detail and said the problems the production is now facing are merely intriguing challenges that will be overcome.
