Our original story from yesterday follows…

Production is set to start on what’s being described as the seventh film in the X-Men series in May 2017, according to a new report.

According to Le Journal de Montreal, the new film is heading back to the Montreal area, and a production office opened up yesterday at the MELS Studios complex. Both X-Men: Days Of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse also shot in the area.

The report goes on to reveal that set construction is expected to begin in January, and that the production is taking over Studios 2 and 3 of the MELS complex. That’s no idle speculation, either. That’s direct from the president of MELS, Michel Trudel, who says he expects filming to go on for “several months.” He also reveals that “they will start shooting in May.”

What’s harder to ascertain is just which X-Men film will be shooting there.
