James McAvoy talks ‘X-Men: First Class’ sequel
20th Century Fox have yet to announce plans for an X-Men: First Class sequel, but it’s recent success on DVD and Blu-ray suggests there’s a good chance of one happening.
In a recent interview James McAvoy said he’d “be up for it” (although he is contractually obliged to make more), and thinks it should be “cleverer” than just reverting back to Xavier and his X-Men vs. Magneto’s Brotherhood.
From Total Film:
“I’ve spoken to Matthew [Vaughn] about ideas, but I can’t tell you what they are because they may or may not be the story. One thing I liked about our one was that it was different from the other three films where the X-Men are the good guys, Wolverine’s figuring out who he is and Magneto is the bad guy.
“This was a completely different thing. Magneto wasn’t a bad guy, we were friends. We’re now set up to go back to the way the other movies are, so we’ve got to try to be cleverer than that.”
