Simon Kinberg Writing ‘X-Men First Class’ Sequel

For an idea of what audiences might possibly see in this film, besides the return of basically every single character and the introduction of new ones, the best source is an interview Vaughn did with Hitfix a few months back. He said the following:
Even then, that statement got fans quite excited. But now with a writer attached, and one who is so familiar with the material, it might become a reality.
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.
Another idea came from star James McAvoy in an interview with Total Film.
Time will tell if either of those things happen but, it seems like the wheels are now in motion for a First Class sequel with Simon Kinberg at the keyboard.
In First Class [Xavier] uses Cerebro for the first time and maybe it unlocks something in his head – maybe he can’t keep the voices out or something. So in the second movie his journey could be about getting himself out of a mess. And then in the third movie he becomes… Patrick Stewart!
Does this surprise you? Does it worry you that Kinberg wrote Last Stand?
