In an interview with HeatVision Blog, Bryan singer got talking about everything that is on his plate and touched a little more on X-Men First Class and though he didn’t spill the plot, he does say it will revolve around the formation of the school which inevitably leads to its elite students being formed into the X-Men. This means Magneto will be involved.
Heat Vision: What is the story?
Singer: I can’t tell you that; it’s secret. But it’s basically about the formation of the X-Men. How they began and the relationship between a young Xavier and a young Magneto.
Singer raves about his writer Jamie Moss, and he also explains that having First Class deal with a younger Magneto, that it will tread on any story they had planned for Magneto’s stand alone film – which means it likely wont happen now.
I imagine the film will pick up right around or just after Xavier rescuing the mutant kids from the Weapon X fallout. Which of course is where my assumptions about the cast might come from. I kind of hope they do a pre-Jean Grey XMen.
I worried that Magneto wouldn’t have enough broad appeal to really hold up his own film, so I like the idea that they would incorporate it into First Class telling his story from the formation of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
The interview also hits up on his other projects like Battlestar Galactica, Jack the Giant Killer and a TV project with my favourite TV Writer Bryan Fuller called SelleVision for NBC.
