James McAvoy Talks Sequel to X-Men: First Class

I didn't mind that it wasn't the 'original comic' X-Men
the story was mostly about Xavier and Erik anyway, I don't think it took anything away from the overall movie.

(: - it did have an amazing cast behind it.

"Epic clash of mutant powers in the streets of NYC."

Micheal Bay, is that you?

@Indtruder, Honestly though, I don't mind a sequel taking place in the 70s

@Intruder: Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, etc...I mean we saw those characters in previous films already. No need to go back again.

there is so much to do... the trilogy concept should be forgotten, including wolverine : origins, and have this as the basis to the x-men universe. we started in the 60's so we have 5 decades to fit in all the events. with that time they could build up the age of Apocalypse even, to be set in the 90s, and also cover the phoenix saga properly, and even have cable and bishop spin-offs to coincide with the apocalypse series. there is so much, they just need to be patient with it. the trilogy was an abomination, because the x-men story and characters were rammed into a present day situation, meaning an entire saga from the comics turned into a random fight on an island with a mute phoenix. the x-men universe is so vast i originally thought movies would be a waste of time, and that a full-blown mini-series like "heroes" mixed with something as epic as "band of brothers" would be a better idea. by spreading it out each chapter and character can be given justice, and we can see how individuals like iceman, wolverine and morph come and go. in the trilogy archangel, juggernaut and colossus for instance were appalling - WTF were they doing?!? first class was the beginning of redemption for fox. they must be clever about the sequels and avoid getting over excited and piling a bunch of sagas into 90 minutes, all for the sake of a quick and easy return at the box office. if they spread it out, many many movies can be made with real continuity.

@Intruder are you for real dude, first class is no where near the worst cbm of all time and actually it was pretty god damn good. Not the best but not the worst

@intruder yawn.

apart from shaw & ^ "know" not known. :P

@Intruder: "So no.. We have never seen that team before. Would you like the next X-Men team to be Beast, Banshee, Forge, Wolfsbane and Cannonball?"

No. But I can see plenty of fan faves that I'd like to see show up in XMFC2 that wouldn't distract from the now-twisted continuity between Vaughn/Singer:

Psylocke. Colossus (as a young Soviet). Polaris. Cable. Bishop. Sunfire. Thunderbird. Strong Guy. Blink. Northstar. Dazzler. Jubilee. Cannonball. Domino. X-23. And put Gambit in....maybe they can ignore his stint in XMO Wolverine, since they apparently threw away Emma's "guest spot" in that schlockfest to retcon her for XMFC.

Plus, Fox *really* needs to shit or get off the pot when it comes to the Maximoff kids --- either put Wanda and Pietro in the XMFC sequel, or give them to the MCU for Avengers 2, for chrissake.

X2 was the best x men film to date IMO

besides the fact it made the most important member of the team and the Leader a bitch

its funny how When First Class came out people were saying its almost as good as TDK

but now that its died down they Realise C:TFA was alot better

@Intruder - I do agree with your comment about the same characters in all of the movies. Even though I think FC is a great movie I hope they give Magneto and Mystique a break. There are far too many characters in the X-universe to keep reusing the same ones over and over again.

So, after XO: Wolverine...did everyones standards just drop?

Michael Fassbender/Magneto - Excellent
James McAvoy/Prof.X - Quite good.
Kevin Bacon/Shaw - Very good.
Music - Quite good.
Aspects of production design and SFX - Quite good.

Everything else? Shit. Really shit. I've taken to calling it X-Men: First Draft. I came up with that name AS I was watching it. Jesus. So poorly written, questionable direction, some bad acting. Honestly. I'm not some 'hater' by the way. Loved the first 2 X-Men movies, thought this one was a good idea and was looking forward to it right up until the lights went down in the theatre.

Just a bad movie.

@Intruder
LMAO

wow we actually agree on something ...shit just got weird....we are in the twilight zone officially!

So basically Fox are just gonna keep releasing this shit every 3 years or so to hold on to the rights so we can constantaly watch these second rate characters and underwhelming villains .......Sweet!

Its depressing how the closest thing we got to the sentinels was the training session in the danger room X3
Cue to the Fastball special 5 seconds later it was over -_-

[frick] u Brett Ratner ....but [frick] you even more Bryan Singer for leaving

I Feel like watching the old 90's cartoons now....atleast they got that shit right

great movie though.

@ SSiref

I agree 110%. People watch these comic book movies with blinders on. The X-men movies have been terrible adaptions across the board.

Magneto vs Cable
