X-Men: First Class

Josh Schwartz spoke to IGN Movies, which reports here that he;s writing but won't be directing the film. Schwartz said: "I would be terrified to have the first thing I direct be a giant franchise movie." Then, what's the story? "The 'Dark Phoenix' storyline is probably the high point of the comics' storytelling. But they did that. So we'll find more fertile soil somewhere else. It's exciting, it's a huge honour and we're just getting started."
