More From James McAvoy On 'Charles Xavier' In X-Men: First Class Sequel!

nice to know what they're not rushing it, good. also good to know they want a good story, lol yes good story telling is important, not some action with no story

Well said. Sadly there's not enough good story-telling in movies nowadays.

"They are just trying to get a decent story together. If they don’t get a decent story together, then we probably won’t do another one... .We shouldn’t just make another one because we want to make some money." - - - - - But, aren't prequels exactly that?? Studios making mediocre movies, just to make money? Going back to the well? Milking it? If they were concerned with good stories and scripts, there would be no need for prequels.

Now, bring on the Sentinel or Mr Sinister on the sequel.

Aside from First Class, X2 was the only good X-Men movie. The rest are garbage.

fox studios [frick]ed up big time on all the x men movies.
Please fox dont make another one.
Just give the rights back to marvel studios and get Tim Kring and J.J Abrams to produce it and write the movie and Joss Whedon to direct it.

Actually let change that:
Director: Joss Whedon/ J.J. Abrams
Producers: Tim Kring and J.J. Abrams
Writters/Screenplay: Joss Whedon, Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio

Bring in Storm/Cyclops!

Film 2: Sentinels made by Trask, William Stryker Sr. pays him to do it.

Film 3: Apocalypse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Vaughn already let slip that it would pick up in the late 60's with JFK's murder and the "magic bullet" being controlled by Magneto. Then it would take place in the 70's only introducing new villins and 1 new hero.

McAvoy - "He’s just been paralyzed and he’s been betrayed by the person who he’s probably come to care about more than anybody else in the world, and he’s the guy who did it to him..."

James go back and ask the director how Magneto is going to help Xavier build Cerebro before you start filming.

This intervew makes me think the idea is that Xavier will become Onslaugh (i know i doesnt fit cronologically w/ the comic but who cares)

@SSiref i absolutely agree with u on that. The only problem i have with the X men is that how do keep the stories/characters up to date. I mean for cap.A he gets frozen for how ever long it suits the time period when it was the first cap comic in the 60's he was only frozen for 20ish years at the end of the cap movie he was frozen for 70 years BUT both Magneto and Charles are born in the pre- 1945, so how do we make a present day movie without a bunch of 70 something year olds fighting each other, sorry went on a bit of a rant just curios though how would we do it the movies.

@Tainted87 I knw right the Avatar series was friggin amazing. on the topic of Vaughn, I dont like what he did with first class, yes he made it fun to watch..once, but that was it.
He didnt put in the original First class members nor did he put in the original hellfire members. It seems to me hes taken away any chance of getting some interesting back story for cyclops and his parents, the Starjammers, lets not forget cain marko aka the Juggernaut aka charles step brother where was he in the story of charles's past, Storm was only a child when you see her in the scene where charles uses the cerebro prototype should of been somewhere around charles's age. I think with them introducing moria mc taggert as an FBI agent and not a scientist was the biggest mistake she and Muir island play a prominent/recurring role in the x men stories, u knw she often takes care of sick mutants *Cough* Legion *Cough*.

Plus he made all that crap up about rouge living wit Charles lol

I agree, the entire CIA aspect was the worst part of the movie. I'm not a big Moira fan, so I really could care less what happens to her character, but the CIA involvement (with everything, not just Moira) was loose, down-played, and presented as a half-assed plot point.

What I like about Vaughn is that he brings the story down to the quirky comical aspect, something that even X2 was missing a whole lot of (and that IS my favorite X-Men film). The Kick-Ass comic was half-way through with it's story while Vaughn was making the movie, and he made the film far more enjoyable than the comic.

The Hellfire Club doesn't bug me, as it's there with Moira... I've never cared about it. The writers worked it in here as something comparable to SPECTRE to pay tribute to the time period (62 was when the Bond movies began), and mobilize the villains so that they aren't just grounded in a fancy New York City club. As they were introduced in the comics as a group trying to grab power from the X-Men, I wouldn't say their motives are too far off.

Storm isn't Charles' age. She doesn't age slower just because she controls the weather. Scott, likewise would be the same age as Storm. I used to be a super purist and thought I'd hate First Class for not only throwing continuity out the window, but for obliterating the Summers' family.... but you've got to remember how freaking annoying Scott and Alex's squabbling and rivalries are. Do we really need to see that?

Anyway, I think the sequel should bring Scott, Storm, and Jean in to be terrorized by a mutant geneticist.

I think it would be interesting to have a human villain (like in X2, I guess). Fighting villains is nice, but if you want to be smart about it and really hit at the core of the X-Men then they should be fighting against bigotry. They set up in the first one that the world is now aware of mutants and that their instant reaction to that knowledge was to try and blow up the island they were standing on. The pieces are there.
