Simon Kinberg Writing ‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel? Charles/Erik Sexual Get!
First Class was a Cold War-powered Freudian mutant wet dream. I want a sequel. It looks like I’m getting one.
Since before the first film was released, everyone involved with X-Men: First Class has been talking about a sequel. The actors are contractually obligated to do it. Director Matthew Vaughn and producer Bryan Singer have discussed ideas for it. Still, nothing had been made official.
Now, mere hours after 20th Century Fox basically announced a sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, they’ve reportedly hired a writer to pen a follow up to their other summer hit, X-Men: First Class. Simon Kinberg, a producer on the first film and writer of X-Men: The Last Stand (as well as the upcoming This Means War and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) has reportedly been hired to write the sequel.
Superhero Hype first broke this X-Men update. We’ve contacted Fox for a response but have yet to hear back.
Anyone else pumped up for more longing glances and 1960s fashion?
