Story line for X-Men: First Class’ sequel is set

After 4 successful X-Men movies, Marvel is coming up with another movie, a sequel to it’s last production ‘X-Men First Class”.

X-Men: First Class was the lowest-grossing film in the mutant franchise since the original X-Men. But $350 million is nothing to sniff at, and stars Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender have both become omnipresent in the year since First Class opened, so it wasn’t too surprising when Fox announced a July 2014 release date for fallow up.

Bryan Singer, who served as a producer on the previous X-Men movies and directed the first two, officially announced to Ign.com plans to base the next movie on Days of Future Past, a story arc set in the future, where mutants are hunted down by giant robots called Sentinels and sent to concentration camps.

Matthew Vaughn is back behind the camera after directing X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will also come back in the roles of Professor X and Magneto.

The plot will open the door for comebacks by actors in the first three films, since it switches between two periods, past and future. The shooting is expected to start in January 2013.
