"I finished my draft," Schwartz told MTV News. "Bryan Singer came onboard the movie, who's the best possible guy to direct the 'X-Men' movies, and he wanted to make a very different kind of movie."

"He's Bryan Singer. If he wants to make an X-Men movie, they make his X-Men movie. But it was a great experience and it was an honor to work on it."

However, when asked if he could reveal any information about the direction that the movie will take he remained tight lipped, "I cannot. It's on lockdown. Sworn to secrecy. I swear to god, there's a sniper with a gun pointed at me from that building."
