Bryan Singer returns to the X-Men franchise with FIRST CLASS
After dropping hint after hint that he would indeed return to the X-Men franchise, Bryan Singer has confirmed that he is signed on to direct X-Men: First Class. The director told IGN.com that he will take on the X-Men origin story while attending the Avatar premiere.
From IGN.com:
After mentioning his next film, Jack the Giant Killer, Singer then let loose the big news, saying, “I just yesterday signed a deal to do an X-Men: First Class origins picture, which is kind of cool. I’m very excited.”
Hopefully Singer, who directed both X-Men and X2: X-Men United, will be able to revive this dying franchise.
