Bryan Singer Confirmed To Return For X-Men: Apocalypse

Bryan Singer reportedly plans to direct the next movie in the X-Men franchise, despite recent controversy.

Singer was pulled from the promotional tour of his latest film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, prompting speculation as to whether he will be involved in the planned sequel.

In a recent interview with The Daily Beast, the film's executive producer Simon Kinberg discussed the future of the franchise.

When asked if Singer would be on board to helm X-Men: Apocalypse he said: "That is the plan."

X-Men: Apocalypse is said to feature a lot of the First Class crew, though it may also feature some older characters as well.

Early on it was confirmed that the next entry would focus on McAvoy's Xavier, Fassbender's Magneto, Mystique and Beast. Then Singer and company made intimations about Gambit and Nightcrawler. Then it was suggested that Wolverine would show up (though beyond commercial reasons, it seems unclear as to why). And now we're getting another dose of original-flavor X-Men? Seems kind of crowded.

X-Men: Apocalypse remains scheduled for May 27th, 2016.
