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 don't think alot of people did but now she's really popular everyone is going to watch it again, she looked hella hot in this film though...even in blue!

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.

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.

I would love that!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
