The talent behind X-Men: First Class have revealed possible ideas for the next chapters in the mutant superhero saga.

The ending of First Class sets up a potential sequel that will be “even more fun”, according t💟o director Matthew Vaughn.

“ First Class is similar to Batman Begins , where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getti💎ng to know them, but that takes time,” says Vaughn.

“But with the second one you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time,” he continues. “That’s the main difference between Begins and The Dark Knight .”

With First Class set in 1962, part two could movꦰe on to the late ‘60s – a period Vaughn is keen to x-plore.

“1962 is far more grounded in the world of the &rsqu♔o;50s,” he says. “I think it takes about five years for a decade to really start getting its identity, so the fun thing about this for me would be doing [a sequel] in the latter part of the decade, where you’ve got The Stones, The Beatl🐈es, Flower Power…”

There’s also the possibility that the next chapters in the planned First Class trilogy will be set in the 70s and 80s respective🎉ly.

“That’s an idea that’s b🦄een discussed,” admits producer Bryan Singer. “How the characters go through time. But only to a point – they can’t age too fast!”

Fin𓆏ally, James McAvoy says he’d like to see his character Charles Xavier get “really messed up” in♚ the sequels.

“In First Class he uses Cerebro for the first time and maybe it unloc𝐆ks something in his head – maybe he can’t keep the voices out or something,” the actor speculates.

“So in the second movie his journey could be about getting himself out of a mess. And then in the third movie he become… Patrick Stewart!”
X-Men: First Class hits cinemas on 2 June 2011.
