Bryan Singer has recently mentioned that his next X-Men film is the final in the First Class trilogy that started with Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men First Class starring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as younger versions of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto. What this means for the mutant series going forward is unclear. Besides the next Gambit film currently in pre-production, we have only heard tentative news of a planned X-Force film in the immediate future.

News today revealing that Singer will in fact return to film the next feature in Marvel and Fox’s film franchise, will raise some interesting questions as the nature of the story and the characters involved. Given that X-Men Apocalypse is set in the 90’s and feature many younger versions of characters from the first three X-Men films.

News via Heroic Hollywood indicates that the director could begin production late next year with shooting intended to begin in early 2017. The production will be taking place at Mel’s studio in Montreal where currently X-Men Apocalypse is under going reshoots that many anticipate are in order to shoehorn Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine into the picture.

Fox reportedly struck a deal with Singer soon after initial production ended on Apocalypse with the directors reasoning for a return being that he ‘likes the city.’

With details sketchy as to what Singers next X-Men film will entail. Previous reports have indicated that Fassbender and McAvoy could return for further X-Men films in the future. Could the next film simply be a sequel to the current trilogy?

For now X-Men Apocalypse is scheduled for released on May 27, 2016 with the premiere of the first trailer expected to show before Star Wars The Force Awakens. You just got another reason to see the biggest film of the year.
