Yes, please. If you have to go for romance, give us Raven/Hank, don't try to pair up Charles with Moira again, that was disastrous and creepy and I was glad that they cut it out of the movie. So, no shipping those two. I hope that the writers don't catch the "US Syndrome": in the American TV/movies two men can be close only if the writers STRESS their heterosexuality - see Callen and Sam, John and Rodney etc. and so on.
Please, let Simon Kinberg surprise us with his writing skills the way Steve Thompson surprised us with Sherlock's The Reichenbach Fall: Everybody - me included - dreaded it because he wrote The Blind Banker but his writing was FLAWLESS this time around. So, please, let Simon Kinberg show us that X-Men: The Last Stand was a fluke, that Sherlock Holmes is more his level of skills!
I'm not allowed to even breathe a word of any sort of details but I can say that the things that we thought worked well in First Class were the characters, especially the four or five lead characters. The Charles-Erik relationship was obviously incredibly resonant and James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] did such an amazing job as those characters. Jen Lawrence and Nick Hoult, that's a really interesting relationship between Raven and Hank, so we're really going to be focusing on character and personally I really liked the period aspect of First Class so we may well do that.
