The X-Men: First Class Sequel is a go at 20th Century Fox, with Matthew Vaughn returning to direct and the entire cast set to reprise their roles, including headliners James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique).

Bryan Singer is returning as producer, with Simon Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) on board as the screenwriter. X-Men: First Class is the least successful entry in this 20th Century Fox franchise, but it did pull in $353 million worldwide. Fox hopes that the current attention surrounding Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence as actors will propel this next installment to higher profits.

No set start date has been announced, and there is not yet a release date. New Mutants will be brought into the fold this time around, so expect to hear casting announcements in the near future.

X-Men: First Class Sequel comes to theaters in 2013 and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence.

    Sweet. Gives the writers enough time to finish Kick-Ass and it keeps Matthew Vaughn around. Win-win!

    it may be the least successful in the franchise but is every bit as good as X2 and definitely one of the best super hero movies ever made

    Good news on the surface, but I do worry about the difference between where they can take the story and where they will take the story.
