Apparently Fox still wants to do X4, continuing the story of the trilogy mutants. This is hard to believe, as the original trilogy ended in a messy 'reboot welcome' climax, but the return of Bryan Singer to the franchise and the Wolverine series may be setting up a return to the trilogy universe. The First Class prequel is still on tap with Singer directing.
Hmm...
It would seem that First Class won't kick off a new series after all, and it will be reformatted in the Singer-verse with him returning. I'm guessing it'll be a one shot, explaining a few things for 'series retrospect'. Once that and Wolverine 2 is out of the way, we return to the present to see the modern X-Men - Bobby Drake and company grown up and taking on Sentinels if there's a God. This is all theory based on the tidbit that Fox still wants an X4 since Singer returned. Because between X4 (sequel), Wolverine 2 (spin-off/prequel/sequel), First Class (prequel/reboot), and Deadpool (spin-off/reboot)... it's looking kind of confusing.
