This is very good news for X-Men fans. Bryan Singer is returning to the franchise to direct ‘X-Men: First Class.’ Singer basically created the franchise, by writing the story for the original ‘X-Men’ film and directing both ‘X-Men’ and ‘X2.’ Brett Ratner then nearly destroyed Singer’s brainchild, with ‘X-Men: The Last Stand.’ Singer will hopefully resurrect it from the dead.
