movie X-Men Sequel Starts in January

Lawrence's scheduling conflict with Catching Fire averted.

A looming scheduling conflict for actress Jennifer Lawrence has been resolved, meaning that she can do the sequels to both X-Men: First Class and The Hunger Games.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox has agreed to shoot X-Men: First Class 2 next January, allowing Lionsgate to shoot the second installment of their Hunger Games franchise, Catching Fire, around August/September.

Fox had cast Lawrence in the supporting role of Mystique months before Lionsgate cast her in the leading role of Katniss Everdeen. Fox had the right to exercise their sequel option on Lawrence and start filming the X-Men sequel this fall, thus screwing up Lionsgate's plan to get Catching Fire started in time to make its already announced 2013 release date.

Matthew Vaughn will direct the next X-Men film, while Lionsgate is still trying to work out a deal with Gary Ross to reprise directing duties for the Hunger Games sequel.

Interesting. I didn't even realize that was who played Mystique... lol I look forward to seeing this sequel. :)

And it's nice to see two studios work things out amicably too. Rather surprising to be honest. lol

I liked the first half of the first film, it was fresh and different for X-Men... The second half was totally generic.

I'm really glad they're making a sequel. It's my favourite X-Men movie of all time. I wonder who they're going up against. What I liked most about First Class over the other X-Men movies were the characters. It had some lesser-known mutants which made the movie feel a little more original.

probably going to be magneto but via some other mutants

They've already said there will be a new bunch and returning characters.

I'm rooting for Betsy Braddock/Psylocke (telepath - Ninja), Lorna Dane/Polaris (Magneto's daughter), Jean Grey and Scott Summers/Cyclops.

Glad to see we are going to have a sequel. The first one was good.

I'm excited for this. First Class what a very pleasant surprise and just might be my favorite X-Men film to date. Very solid cast that I originally wrote off. Can't wait!
