Now that X-Men 3 has a director (Matthew Vaughn), it appears that pieces are beginning to fall into place for the film to finally begin production.

It was announced today that deals have been made with Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen to return in X-Men 3. Other stars, including Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and Rebecca Romijn, are still in negotiations with 20th Century Fox as well. There are conflicted reports from various sources over whether or not James Marsen will return to the role of Cyclops. Marsden opted to take a role in Byran Singer’s Superman Returns, raising questions over whether or not he could return to the X-men franchise.

X-Men 3 has been put on the fast track for a May 2006 release.
