The entire lead cast, which includes James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, will also be reprising their respective roles. The original film wasn't a huge blockbuster but did manage to bring in a decent $353 million worldwide. Fox is hoping that the sequel will have a bigger draw.
The film, which will be released in 2013, has no start dates for filming and no exact release date as of yet.
