Beyond being fairly sure a sequel to X-Men: First Class will happen at some point (we know a screenplay is being worked on at least) we don't know much else about it. Unfortunately neither does Michael Fassbender. He does tell Collider that he is looking forward to getting back to it, coming up with some of his own ideas, and hopefully working with the first film's director Mathew Vaughn who is not confirmed to return as of yet..
Collider: X-Men: First Class was both a critical and commercial hit. What are you looking forward to with the sequel, and do you know when you’ll start filming?
Fassbender: I have no idea. I’m looking forward to working with all those people again. We had a lot of fun. It was a great cast and a great crew. Hopefully, I’ll get in at ground level and start putting some ideas together myself, with James [McAvoy] and, hopefully, (director) Matthew [Vaughn], and we can see what happens next.
I’m really interested to see what happens to Charles (James McAvoy), in the next one, and see how he becomes Professor X ‘cause we got to see Erik turn into Magneto, in the first one. It will be interesting to see who shaves Charles’ head. When he’s drunk one night, the mutants will go in there and shave his head and shave off his eyebrows. Maybe.
Hair and eyebrows eh? Certainly be an interesting look! Fassbender has been very bust recently promoting two movies in which he has garnered critical acclaim;
A Dangerous Method and
Shame. While I look forward to both I don't think I'm alone in hoping we see him back under Magneto's helmet sooner rather than later.
