FROM SPLASH PAGE: It's been a few months since we last heard anything about "X-Men: First Class," the film that looks to explore the younger days of some of Marvel Comics' popular mutants. In fact, the last news that surfaced about the project was the attachment of "Gossip Girl" and "Chuck" executive producer/writer Josh Schwartz as the film's writer -- an announcement that prompted much debate over whether he'd make the film his directorial debut (or if he'd even been offered the chance).
During an interview with MTV News at last weekend's New York Comic Con (appropriately enough), Schwartz cleared up at least one question surrounding the film... and created a few more in the process.
"No, that's not true," Schwartz told MTV News when asked if he passed on directing "X-Men: First Class," as some rumors suggested. "But I would be terrified to have the first thing I direct be a giant franchise movie."
