Now that all the production faffing is seemingly over and done, Fox are keen to get the ball rolling, with filming set to kick off as soon as September. This is so that Vaughn will have enough time to meet the fairly brisk schedule that culminates in a projected release date of June 3 2011.

And it appears that at least some of the film will be shot in London, at Pinewood studios no less. How do we know this? Well we’ve got old motormouth Jonathan Ross to thank again here, with the broadcaster recently announcing the news on his Radio 2 show.

Meanwhile, a release from the West Michigan Film Office has sent out a location request for, “areas with a 1960’s, South-American or Central American island feel for the next X-Men movie, X-Men: First Class," as well as, “a Miami-styled harbour for yachts.”

Sounds like we can expect the young X-Men to do a fair bit of globetrotting then…
