Bryan Singer Will Direct X-Men: Apocalypse, More Plot Details Reveald

What do we know about the third installment of Fox's new X-Men trilogy at this point? Well, quite a lot, actually, but one question remained: Will Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer return to direct? Now, Vulture purports to have the answer, and it's yes.

Vulture also goes on to report that they believe the film will focus solely on the Michael Fassbender-James McAvoy led younger cast introduced in X-Men: First Class, rather than the mix of First Class and original X-Men trilogy alums that will be featured in Days of Future Past.

Then again, they also reiterate our earlier reporting that the film will be a direct sequel "set up in Days of Future Past's closing moments," which does not preclude some of the original X-Men cast from showing up, at least in the very beginning, to wrap things up. Brendon is pretty confident Singer and Fox are definitely trying to lock in as many cast members from both timelines as possible, though the amount of their screentime is not known.

Singer also throws in this tidbit via Twitter:

#Apocalypse is not an alien. :) #XMenApocalypse

This is probably meant to discredit the aforementioned "quite a bit" we know about Apocalypse from First Showing, but perhaps the fact that he chooses to discredit that particular aspect of everything that's been reported is more telling than anything else.
