Bryan Singer confirmed for X-Men: First Class

The inner fangirl in me is rejoicing in the confirmation of director Bryan Singer coming back to helm X-Men: First Class. The news sprung about through Twitter via Flick Chart. Here’s the ‘tweet’ for you to read below:

Bryan Singer just leaked that he’s directing the next X-men Origins film on the AVATAR “blue carpet”. What do you think about that?

Bryan Singer directed the first two X-Men films and then ended up jumping ship to direct the critically bashed Superman Returns. Singer recently directed the Tom Cruise starring Valkyrie and is already set to direct a Battlestar Galactica movie along with Jack the Giant Killer. Not entirely sure when X-Men: First Class will be on the plate for the director, but at this point it’s a huge sigh of relief for those who are big fans of most of the movie franchise and the comics themselves.

Update: All you have to do is click right on the Myspace Avatar Page. Click on “Next Slide” at the bottom left and then scroll forward to the 27-minute mark where he’s asked about what he has coming up next. He tells the interviewers without any hesitation and complete seriousness: “I’m ramping up to do a movie called ‘Jack the Giant Killer’ at Warner Bros, and I just yesterday signed a deal to do an ‘X-Men: First Class Origins’ picture, which is kind of cool. I’m very excited.” (Thanks to Coming Soon for being one of the few finding this bit of information)

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
