Producer Simon Kinberg confirms that the next X-Men movie will be set in the 90s.

With 2011’s X-Men: First Class set in the 1960s, the sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past, set in the 1970s and the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse taking place in the 1980s, it’s certainly unsurprising to hear that the next X-Men film will be headed for the 90s.

Kinberg told Coming Soon: “The next one is set in the ’90s,”

Whether he was talking about the next “X-Men” film in the series, or director Josh Boone’s New Mutants, we can’t be sure, but we’ll keep you informed of any updates.

The latest film in the franchise, X-Men Apocalypse is set to hit theaters on May 27.
