Michael Fassbender On X-Men: First Class Sequel, Hopes Vaughn Returns To Direct

put scott & jean in it or don't bother with the sequel.

@ movietheaterlad

but a young scott haa a cameo in x-men first class & was in x-men origins wolverine which is set during the 70s.

I hope Vaughn returns. I think he did a great job with first class.

Lol... Fassbender's funny, I would love 2 c like a spoof or something of Magneto being responsible 4 Xavier's baldness,1st he cripples him then he shaves him lol...

@marvel72 well his Wolverine cameo was set in 1979, which is close enough to the 80s, and besides, that's out of continuity. As for the First Class cameo, that was just a little Easter egg for eagle eyed fans, and could be easily written off as some other mutant who happened to look like Scott and wear similar glasses. Otherwise, they had no excuse for not using him anyway.

For all intents and purposes, First Class is a prequel to Singer's first 2 X-Men films, thanks to things like Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn cameoing as Wolverine and older Mystique, and the shot for shot recreation of the Poland opening with Magneto and the gate. So, to avoid any more continuity conflicts (again, easy to write off small instances of dialogue in X-Men conflicting the events of First Class), Cyclops, Jean and maybe Storm need to be introduced in a time period which is believable as a link to the first X-Men (although the X-Men were about 20 when that film was made, they look as if they could pass for their 30s)

Either that, or they should try to set up the First Class series as a reboot and somehow make Hugh Jackman as Wolverine fit in since he cameoed.

@Scorpion8125: Same. After ten years... continuity even within their own mixed up universe is a lost cause. I'd just like them to keep up X:FC continuity.

As long as Vaughn and Fassbender stay on I'm down but a teenage Scott&Jean, Storm, and Sentinels would be very much preferred... kinda want Dazzler too. 8D

MTL@ Cyclops made his first appearance in 1963, as already mentioned. I don't think the decade and continuity is even an issue now as it is already messed up. Scott was Xavier's first recruit as an X-Men, so it hardly makes any sense that he isn't part of the next film. They already blew it not having him part of First Class. First Class was pretty "Meh" for me. I can take it or leave it. As a decent popcorn flick I can take it and as an X-Men adaptation I leave it far behind. I am tired of Magneto and would rather see another adversary take the spotlight in the next couple films. I'm probably in the minority for that one.

The first was a good movie.

Of course everyone would like a more comicbook approach on the story, but it was a good movie anyway.

Now, I really hope they get the right way on making these movies after this one.

I fear for Wolverine and XMFC sequel.

Can't wait for the sequel.

If Vaughn doesn't come back, bring in Bryan Singer. The dude may have [frick]ed up the Superman series, but his X-Men films were very solid IMO.

*footage

@ACira 1st class had no continuity, why start now?

I enjoyed First Class alot - the only thing I'd hope they would improve on, or retcon if the case maybe, is the Xavier - Magneto friendship. It needed to be bigger, span a few years, include them shooting the breeze about building a Savage Land or whatever.

Marvel72, the problem with you is even when someone like ACira gives you a good explanation as to how the continuity works in the X-men film universe you just shrug it off with a quick one line rebuttal. It doesn't take a lot of effort to just say, 'it sucks.'
