Confirmed: Bryan Singer Will Direct 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past'
Last week, Matthew Vaughn ('Kick-Ass') suddenly and unexpectedly departed the upcoming Marvel film 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' It was to be the followup to his own 'X-Men: First Class,' last year's prequel to the franchise that also more or less served as a reboot. The rumors as to what other project may have drawn Vaughn away still circle, but it does appear that Vaughn will remain on 'Days of Future Past' as a producer. Word immediately leaked that Bryan Singer, who helmed the first two movies in the series, would be returning to direct. Well, you can now file that one away as verified fact. Singer just closed his deal to take back the franchise reins. Singer was a guiding force for Vaughn's X-Men movie, serving as both producer and the writer of the script treatment.
Still don't quite understand this movie by Vaughn, and I'm still disappointed he won't be coming back for 'Days of Future Past' considering how much I loved 'First Class,' but this is good news for fans. We are being spared the uncertainty of an untested new talent, at least in terms of the series. It also makes sense that the producers would go back to Singer upon Vaughn's leaving considering the narrative structure of 'Days of Future Past.' The story employs a creative use of timelines, and finds characters in the X-Men canon experiencing their own future. Even though Bryan Singer is technically part of the franchise's past, his stories took place after 'X-Men: First Class' So in many ways, he represents the future of the characters established in 'X-Men: First Class.' Plus, he's been around since the beginning of the series and I'd argue no one knows the cinematic incarnations of these heroes and villains better than he does. Now, can we please just get confirmation on the damn Sentinels?
What do you guys think? Is Singer's return good for the franchise? If not, why? Who would you have gone with?

Damn, some serious hatred for Singer out there in spill-land! I would expect this kind of anger if Brett Ratner managed to weasel his way into the mix, but Singer deserves more respect than he's getting here.

Despite Singer's involvement in First Class and keeping aside that he is actually a good director most of the time, he did direct the original two films. And as this is supposed to be a prequel and reboot, I actually think this is going backwards. He shouldn't do the same thing as he did with X-Men or X2 otherwise what is the point of restarting this franchise? First Class felt like a seperate entity to the earlier films, and that's why it stood out for me.

This is a no-brainer. Singer is the guy who did it first, and best, as far as I'm concerned; "[Jesus] Returns" notwithstanding. One of the reasons I prefer his X-Men films to First Class is because First Class goes out of its way several times to connect itself not just to the comics, but specifically to Singer's originals. X 1&2 stand alone as greats in comic adaptations, and I think he'll do great with this next one as well.

I'm not fan of Singer as a director but I am a fan of his writing. He's able to tell a story with a good script but can't take a good script and make a great film. I thought the X-Men movies were OK, not great, and I think First Class is the best of the X-Men films.

just discovered Bryan Singer is going to direct the next X-Men movie. And my question is, why is that a good thing? This is the same guy that directed Superman Returns. And though he made decent X-Men movies (and even that's being generous), there's absolutely no excuse for placing any other movie franchises in his hands. Superman Returns was painfully boring, and schizophrentic in whether it was a reboot or sequel. It was inexcusably oversold. And the story, was just stupid. I think this is a mistake.

It's like you make a couple bad films and then everyone starts crapping on your whole career. In context of when those first two X-Men films came out they were a little revolutionary. Also people seem to give Singer no credit for writing First Class but we all called Sinister Carlyle's film when he just wrote it.

As long as it's as good as X-Men 2, and better than X3 and Superman Returns. I'll be cool.
