It was with a heavy heart that I first heard Bryan Singer wasn’t going to come back to direct X-Men 3. He had single handedly resurrected the Comic Book movie genre with his first 2 X-Men efforts (I still think X-Men 2 is the best comic book movie ever made), and then handed the franchise off to lesser hands. Don’t get me wrong, I still got a a bit of a kick out of X-Men 3, but it was obviously the worst of the franchise. Oh what could have been!
Well… maybe we’ll get to know what could have been after all. Variety is reporting that Singer is considering going back to the X-Men universe to direct the spinoff “X-Men: First Class”, a project that would focus on some of the lesser known youngsters from Xavier’s School for the Gifted.
I’ve never been really big on the idea of First Class… but if Singer does in fact end up signing up for it, that would change my mind VERY quick.
Would Bryan Singer coming back change your excitement level for a X-Men: First Class flick?
