Brian Singer has said that he is signed on to direct X-Men - First Class, bringing back to the X-Men fold. He stated earlier in the year that he would like to do another X-Men film but i think after the convoluted events of X3 it might not have left him many places to go so the origins of the original X-Men story is now whats on his plate.
I know alot of you will be happy about this but i'm not. I never thought Singer did a good job with the first two X-Men films, they were dry and some scenes were overlong. The ending of the first one was pathetic and made no sense (If Rogue has Magento's powers then why didn't she stop the machine?). He tried to tell the story of a dysfunctional family first and the X-Men world second. I think it was the wrong way around to deal with it and although i'll watch First Class i already wish someone else was making it.
