Josh Schwartz and X-Men

News broke that "Gossip Girl," "The O.C." and "Chuck" creator Josh Schwartz would be writing the new X-Men movie a few months ago.

After some quiet time, he has come out to talk about his role in "X-Men: First Class," a film taking a stronger look at the heroes when they were young, innocent and not X-Men.

MTV News had the chance to speak with Schwartz during the New York Comic-Con and MTV asked if he was not only going to write the film, but also direct it.

“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.”

Schwartz did not talk about how this film would fit in with the rest of the "X-Men" franchise. Whether it does count as a prequel or is starting a reboot, but Schwartz did comment on what he didn't want the film to do.

“The ‘Dark Phoenix’ storyline is probably the high point of the comics’ storytelling,” said Schwartz when asked about some of his favorite X-Men stories. “But they did that. So we’ll find more fertile soil somewhere else.”

“I’m not really allowed to say anything,” he added. “They’re watching me as we speak. It’s exciting, it’s a huge honor and we’re just getting started.”

What do you think this film should be about? Should it be a prequel to the first "X-Men" film or should it be a reboot of the franchise?
