The story of the film, set for release on May 2, 2003, is shrouded in a veil secrecy so thick that nothing has been able to penetrate it.
"I can tell fans that we'll have some new characters is this one, some of them young and others old," Singer told the Associated Press on Wednesday, according to CNN.com Showbuzz (http://www.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/News/12/13/showbuzz/index.html#1).
Singer said the plot will involve a war between mutants and the humans who fear them. "The stakes are higher and bit more dangerous in this one," he said.
Tentatively titled X², the sequel is set to begin filming in May 2002, which is coincidentally the month of release for the first Spider-Man movie.
