MTV sprak met Simon Kinberg, schrijver en producent van de beoogde sequel op Matthew Vaughns succesvolle X-Men: First Class. Hij steekt zijn enthousiasme omtrent een vervolg niet onder stoelen of banken.

"I’m a huge X-Men fan. I grew up loving the comic books and it was really exciting to be able to do the origin story of Xavier and Magneto, and getting those two actors, [James] McAvoy and [Michael] Fassbender, were really amazing. So being able to explore those characters with actors of that quality will be exciting a second time around, and doing some things unexpected with those characters, which is the plan."

Kinberg voegt hier aan toe dat de tweede film nog veel meer aandacht aan Magneto (Michael Fassbender) zal besteden.

"That’s what was so cool about the first one and what we want to continue. Magneto becomes the villain ultimately of the franchise but he’s a much more complicated character as a young man. He’s someone you sympathize with, you care about you root for even though might not necessarily agree with his methods, you understand his philosophy."

Het is de bedoeling dat regisseur Vaughn en de cast van het origineel gewoon terugkeren voor First Class 2.
