There’s been a bit of uncertainty over when Fox would shoot their sequel to X-Men: First Class, much of which has been due to the fact that with stars like Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence’s career going stratospheric, it’s been tough to get the scheduling right. However, now 20th Century Fox has announced that they will begin shooting their X-Men: First Class Sequel in January.
Tensions between the Fox and Lionsgate ran high last month as Fox was considering filming First Class 2 in the Autumn, using their option with actress Jennifer Lawrence. This would have potentially overlapped with Lionsgate’s plans for The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, which needs to shoot before the year is out to hit its November 2013 release date. Lawrence is tied in to both franchises, which is great for her but does cause a scheduling nightmare.
All the main cast from X-Men: First Class are expected to return. Matthew Vaughn will once more direct. (Source: THR)
