X-Men First Class 2, Daredevil & Fantastic Four Reboot Updates

During a chat with MTV News studio chief over at Fox Tom Rothman confirmed that a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class" is a sure thing , it's just a question of when:

It’s ‘go’ in the sense that we’re trying like hell. We’re trying as hard as we can. We really want to do it. We’re planning to do it. But the reason, in addition to [stars Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy] and Matthew Vaughn, that it was as good as it was that the script was really good. The key to making a great continuing franchise is to have a great script, so we’re working hard on it.

Will Vaughn return?

I know he’d like to. We certainly would like him to. But it’s a matter of, as I said, getting a script that’s really worthy.”

Meanwhile the studio is still developing the "Untitled Daredevil Reboot" and  Fantastic Four film series restarter:

Rothman says “Daredevil is still with David Slade. It’s in development now. We’re working on it and Fantastic Four. I think for all of us, the bar has been raised, so we’ve got to aim high now. Marvel's done a terrific job with their films. Where our Marvel movies are concerned or other movies like that. It’s like what we had with Planet of the Apes [reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes] this summer. I think it’s important for us to really aim high and deliver an A-level experience to the audience.

Here's the chat:
