Thanks to Movieline for the heads up.James McAvoy spoke to Total Film about a possible sequel to X-Men First Class. He's contractually obligated to do it but isn't sure there's an idea yet:
I've spoken to Matthew [Vaughn] about ideas, but I can't tell you what they are because they may or may not be the story. One thing I liked about our one was that it was different from the other three films where the X-Men are the good guys, Wolverine's figuring out who he is and Magneto is the bad guy. This was a completely different thing. Magneto wasn't a bad guy, we were friends. We're now set up to go back to the way the other movies are, so we've got to try to be cleverer than that.

Captain America: The First Avenger screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely spoke to IFC (via CBM) about Captain America 2 and gave this cryptic detail:
So much of Captain America's adventures occur in the present day, so there are a lot of things I'd like to touch on. That said, we did leave the center section of 'Captain America' baggy enough to let him have adventures you didn't see [in the first film]. So, we kind of have enough room to play with [for the sequel]....Still, if he had another adventure entirely set in World War II, the stakes are kind of lessened, because you know he survives and you know what happens to Bucky and you know the Howling Commandos survive long enough to have a toast in a bar.
Then, in an interview with The HD Room, they clarified those statements by saying the film will "primarily" set in modern day.

With something like Spidey, I've had over the course of a couple decades a voice in my head when I read the comics. I've had imagery, a ton of imagery to go off of. Whereas with somebody like Hal in Green Lantern I didn't really have any of that. At least not with the same amount of detail and specificity.
