Bryan Singer will be producing the film alongside Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg. Singer had directed the first two "X-Men" film and developed the story for "First Class".
Singer said, "I've been a fan of Matthew's since 'Layer Cake. He has a deft hand with multiple characters and storylines, and a great love of the X-Men universe. I feel the combination of this story and his vision will make for an exciting and original X-Men film."
