Matthew Vaughn to produce Fantastic Four reboot

After Matthew Vaughn dropped out of the director's chair for X-Men: Days of Future Past I think just about everyone was wondering what other projects he had on his plate. It seems Fantastic Four was on his list. It was announced today by Mark Millar via Twitter that Vaughn was set to produce the upcoming reboot to be directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle).

I thought we were getting Fantastic Four next year, but apparently I was wrong. We can expect Fantastic Four on March 6, 2015.

Bryan Singer will replace Matthew Vaughn for X-Men sequel

With the departure of Matthew Vaughn happened for the upcoming First Class sequel happened there were questions about who would step in to fill the director's chair. We now have confirmation that Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) will be directing X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Production is set to begin early in 2013 for a release of July 18, 2014.

Matthew Vaughn out of X-Men: First Class sequel

With no explanation at this moment it has been announced that Matthew Vaughn has left the director's chair for X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to X-Men: First Class. Despite his departure the cast is still intact, including Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender, and they are still aiming for the July 2014 release. There are replacements being thrown around already and the one at the top of the list is Bryan Singer.

Singer directed and wrote X-Men and X-2 along with having a writing and producing credit for X-Men: First Class, so his involvement wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Hopefully he steps in to fill the empty chair.

X-Men sequel finally has a title

Up until now the sequel for X-Men: First Class has been promptly referred to as X-Men: First Class 2. We now have the official title for the film along with some minor updates. The official title is X-Men: Days of Future Past, Matthew Vaughn is for sure returning to direct, and it is possible that this film will serve as somewhat of a crossover between films. X-Men and X2 director Bryan Singer suggests that it could follow the comic arc that takes the mutants into the 1980's.

X-Men: First Class sequel pushed to January 2013

Due to scheduling conflicts with the upcoming "it" girl Jennifer Lawrence, filming of the sequel to X-Men: First Class has been pushed to January 2013 as she will be filming the sequel to The Hunger Games this fall. Lawrence is reprising her role as Mystique in the X-Men film and is also reprising the role of Katniss Everdeen in Catching Fire. After much speculation it was also confirmed that Matthew Vaughn will return to direct the X-Men sequel.

Along with filming approaching for both of these films she is also busy with promo for The Hunger Games along with upcoming promo for a new film, The House at the End of the Street. Jennifer Lawrence is indeed a busy gal.

I'm curious as to how they will do this exactly. I am really excited that it's happening because I loved X-Men: First Class so much, but seeing that we already have five X-Men movies (X-Men, X-2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and X-Men: First Class) somewhere there will be a wire that gets crossed or cut completely. That is unless they are going to completely ignore what happened with X-Men 1-3 which would be fine with me, minus the first. Then again, X-Men: First Class already crossed some wires and confused things a bit (specifically with Alex Summers and Beast) so maybe it really doesn't matter that much. First Class seemed to follow with X-Men Origins: Wolverine more than the first three movies.
Which speaking of Wolverine... he might have to be in the First Class sequel, right? Depending on what the timeline is that might work.

Bring it on, Mr. Vaughn.
