Matthew Vaughn’s been answering a lot of fans’ concerns regarding X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and where it’ll fit in the already-established mutant movie mythos, but his answers seem to raise just as many questions in turn. He’s clarified that this will be a continuity-fitting prequel to the previous movies, not a total reboot, but his comparison of FIRST CLASS to the latest STAR TREK movie raises the possibility that the plot might have something to do with time travel and alternate universes. His further statement about how Bryan Singer’s cooked up a “very, very smart story” that not only ties the X-Men into the period they’re set in, but also involves them in contemporary world events… well, that would certainly bode well for chronology-twisting plot.

You know, if you step back and think about it, time-travel plays a significant part in the X-Men mythos. What’s one of the most memorable storylines? DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Who are some of the biggest characters? Time-travelers Cable, Bishop and Rachel Summers (or whatever she’s calling herself today.) Hell, the whole MESSIAH COMPLEX: SECOND COMING crossover centered around Hope and Bastion, who’re both from the future.  Time-travel’s so regular in the X-Men mythos, it's basically matter-of-fact. 
 
So, think about.... aside from time travel, what’s the last major X-Men concept that's yet to be addressed in the films? The Sentinels. I still think there’s a good possibility that Kevin Bacon could be some playing some understated riff on Bastion or Nimrod. == TEASER ==

So did he say to Coventry Telegraph…

"In terms of having a lot of mutants, it doesn't feel that busy. I don't feel worried about it. I think it will be really cool to see all these guys doing their stuff.”

triple agree

 i wanna kick Matthew Vaughn in the nuts, maybe then would he get some sense about this franchise... at the moment he just seems like "duuuhhh lots of pretty mutant powers = audience"

If they do it how I think they're going to do it, then it might work.

" If they do it how I think they're going to do it, then it might work. "

ehh. Time travel makes me nervous. Done right it can make for an extremely good movie, but done poorly it just comes off as cheesy. I'm gonna wait to pass judgment, but like I've commented elsewhere what I'm hoping for is a halfway decent movie, then a standstill while Marvel and Disney get back the reigns and do a reboot, although I actually haven't hated any of the X-films to date.

 
I just wish they'd release an OFFICIAL  casting statement already.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS!!!

I'm not going to lie...I will be in line for this, but not with enthusiasm.

Agreed as well but ill see it anyways "

So long as it's a good film and Cyclops is the main character, I don't really care what they do. Granted, I have little hope for this being a good film.

time travel would be better than vampires :)

Please go to production hell, First Class.
Please. 

Be at a stand still for another year before Fox lets Disney know their buyout amount for their remaining contract.  
 
Then, maybe we'll see X-Men in the larger Marvel movieverse.
 
Unlikely, sure.
 
Fox'll run the franchise into to ground (well, deeper than they have already) before they allow the fans to hope for another great installment.

  The only time travel needed in this movie is the one that I'll need if I ever see this movie so I can go to an earlier time and tell myself not to watch this movie.

If it has an X on it, I'll go see it.  I'll get the video and watch it when it comes on FX.

You haven't even seen it yet! It could turn out to be fantatic! "

I desperately want to be optimistic about this film, but it's rather hard to, given the past couple of X-films. There's still a lot of potential for this to be a good film, but given Fox's track record, potential doesn't mean much. I'm certainly not going to see it on its opening weekend; I'm going to wait for the reviews to come in, talk to some people that did see it, and then decide if it's worth seeing in the theater or waiting for it to hit dvd.
