First Class was Matthew Vaughn. All the rest are Bryan Singer.

Fans wanted Singer to return given on what happen with X3 and Wolverine Origins. I personally glad that those two movies are no longer canon to the series given how the new timeline seem to erase them. I used to like Wolverine Origins, but I hated it on a second viewing.

Some fans wanted Singer to return, I'll give you that. Heck, maybe even the majority. It doesn't mean it was the best decision for the franchise, though, creatively, at least. Singer's X-Men films, to me, are like Bay's Transformers entries: not very good movies that make a ton of money at the box office.

Ah. That's basically the only X-Men movie I can point at and go "That was a good movie" :lol
Then yeah, I'd like to see him return, then.
I just assumed Singer directed it since he seemed to direct every other X-Men movie but Last Stand, that I could remember.

I had actually completely blocked Last Stand from my brain somehow. Odd, but not entirely shocking. Yeah, Ratner's entry was really quite awful as well.

So, I'm a little confused. Taskmaster debuted in the Avengers, but he appears in Spider-Man a decent amount of times, but he also partners up with Deadpool on occasion while also fighting the X-Men on occasion.
So is his movie rights with Marvel Studios, Sony, or Fox?

It happens :lol

It looks like Taskmaster is back under Marvel's umbrella, but I don't see any hard evidence in the article.

Something that irritates the nerd in me is that the teenage versions of Cyclops, Jean Gray, e.t.c. are all out of sync with the chronology. Aren't a lot if them who appeared in X-men 1 in thier late 20s, earlier 30s? Because if this movie was late 80s, I'd be okay with it, since 10-15 years after this is the original X-men, and the chracters would fit the ages.

So it seems to imply he's with Marvel Studios? That's fine with me. I was just curious about where he was, since he's one of the characters that appears in damn near every title :lol

I'm not particularly bothered by it, mainly because I'm more worried about the movie at hand rather than how it fits in the chronology (For example, why does Professor X apparently age 50 years between 1980 and 2001?)

They are mutants. They probably age differently from normal humans would.
