UPDATE: X-Men: First Class Shooting in 2010?

Sep 18th, 2009
"Wolverine's" Cyclops spill the beans
Tim Pocock, who played the young Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has revealed that he will reprise the role in 20th Century Fox's X-Men: First Class.

"Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010...then X-men first class," he said on his Twitter account. "Wolverine" producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently hinted that a new "X-Men" movie would start production in 2010.

Written by Josh Schwartz, the film will likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006.

UPDATE: We're not sure what to make of this, but Pocock has updated his Twitter account with the following:

victim of cruel prank.last tweet=NOT me.AM filming Aussie show till2010.no official word on XM:FC but am interested.please post retraction.

If the powers that be play this right, they could have a long franchise to roll out. Just follow the comic books more and sign actors for more than 3 movies like they did with the Harry Potter movies. This way we could get to see the young actors grow and age into the more seasoned Xmen.

Interesting. Will they get Patrick Stewart to play Charles again in this film? They’ll need a little makeup & CGI to make him look younger, I guess. I wonder will they show how he lost the use of his legs. Also, I wonder if they will delve into the conflict with Magneto—and risk spoiling any events that would have been covered in the Magneto Origins film. Hm.. They can’t include Angel. Nor Iceman. So—just Jean, Scott and Hank? BTW- that girl from ‘True Jackson’= young Ororo.

I think it's important that I offer my opinion on a movie that hasn't even been written yet. Then I can tell everyone how I'm against it...then I can watch it ten times, so I can complain about every detail, and argue every plot point. Then I can talk about how terrible the movie was until there is a hint of another movie coming out...so I can repeat the process. Ahhhh, what a rewarding life I lead. Oh, I forgot...this movie will suck.

Very true, continuity was screwed up from the first x-men movie with Iceman being one of the kids and then Angel not showing up until the 3rd movie(the Wolverine and the Xmen show is messed up in the same regard to Iceman), but have a little faith, now that Marvel is with Disney, this may turn out a little better.

FOX, please stop making movies. How about we just stop supporting Fox movies, people? I'm glad that Disney bought Marvel 'cause i'm just imagining what a disaster it would be if Fox somehow ended up buying Marvel. And i agree Doc Savage, this movie will suck.

Great, we get 2 hours of this kid yelling every time he uses his Optic Blast. Seriously, that's all he did in the last Flick. "Optic-Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
