Matthew Vaughn Out of X-Men: First Class 2, Who Will Replace Him?

It has been announced that Matthew Vaughn will not be directing the sequel to the hit film, "X-Men: First Class".  

 

The studio is said to have Bryan Singer on their short list of replacements, which would be a good choice considering he directed the first two blockbuster X-Men films.  Vaughn is said to be switching to a producer position for the sequel, titled "Days of Future Past".

 

Returning to the film will be cast members Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence.  

"X-Men: First Class-Days Of Future Past" is slated for a July 18, 2014 release.
