According to The Geek Files, Fox is “discussing sequels internally” which they undoubtedly have been since opening weekend.
Both Singer and Vaughn have plenty of ideas for X-Men: First Class 2 which would likely keep the series set in the ’60s, but based a few years later, again tied into real historical events. When you think about it, they could go on with many more films before needing to introduce some of the characters we met in Bryan Singer’s first X-Men film (Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm, etc.).
First Class was a good film and helped keep the franchise alive. It is also the best “hero” film of the summer thus far, and even though people would much rather see a follow up to The Last Stand and a revelation that Cyclops is still alive and kicking, a lot of folks (including myself) would love to see more Michael Fassbender as a younger Magneto. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
In any case, I just got two words for FOX and the producers of The First Class II (or as I call it, ‘The Second Class’)
Mister.
Sinister.
‘Nuff said.
