X-MEN FIRST CLASS is not officially in cinemas yet (it hits next Wednesday, 1st June in the UK with the US two days later), but already director Matthew Vaughn is talking about an amazing opening to a potential sequel. Speaking to HitFix on the press circuit for the James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender starrer, Vaughn said:
“I’ve got some ideas for the opening for the next film. I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentioned. And we could go from there, and I’ve got some fun ideas about what other mutants to bring in. I don’t want to tempt fate, though. If the film’s a hit, of course I’d be interested. I really enjoyed making it.”
a) The film will be a hit, b) it will take a lot of money, mainly because c) it’s f-ing awesome.
