Amongst others Fox has set release dates for sequels to ‘X-Men: First Class’ and ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’.
First up we have on Memorial Day (May 23, 2014), Fox unleashes ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ The sequel to the $483 million grossing ‘Rise Of The Planet Apes’ Rupert Wyatt will be returning to direct. Andy Serkis has been confirmed to be returning as Caesar.
On July 18, 2014 we will see the release of the currently untitled sequel to the highly acclaimed and successful ‘X-Men: First Class’. Matthew Vaughn will return to direct and Bryan Singer will return to produce. Most of the cast has been confirmed as returning. Vaughn has previously stated about the sequel that “First Class is similar to ‘Batman Begins’ where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to know them, but that takes time. But with the second one, you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time. That’s the main difference between ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight'”
Also on what new characters to expect “We will only have one more new character. I won’t say who he… I won’t say who he or she is! But we will only be bringing one more new character in, because, I think, as Professor X is in a wheelchair, Magneto needs to have a nemesis he can fight with. Someone that will be his equal. I know who it is. It would be nice if I could say something, but I can’t, mate!”
