X-Men: First Class is to be a reboot of sorts for the franchise, featuring younger X-Men undergoing training at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Children. And it is being written by O.C. and Gossip Girl creator, Josh Schwartz.
Though no names have been specified, Fox has hinted at some of the characters of whom we've gotten glimpses in previous movies - such as Rogue, Iceman, Angel, Shadowcat, and Colossus. It will join X-Men Origins: Wolverine and an untitled Magneto prequel project in the X-Men movie canon. If you are thinking New Mutants, you probably aren't far-off as to concept, though I doubt any of the New Mutants characters (excepting Cable) will ever actually appear on-screen, except possibly in cameos.
