No. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust, Kick-Ass) is directing this time. There are rumors that Singer might possibly return to direct X-Men 4.

Hell, the first X-Men movie made it impossible for the original comic lineup to also be the same in the movies. Bobby Drake was a recent recruit, same as Rogue. Both events are nowhere near comic-accurate.

Valid points, but director Vaughn has already alluded to using some of the comics plot devices, such as alternate realities, specifically how it was used in the Star Trek reboot. Yes, this movie is technically a prequel, but I think there is room to play with some of the continuity of the films, much like is done within the comics. Who knows for sure. Emma Frost was is XMO:W and she is in XM:FC as well. That right there is an inconsistency as FC takes place prior to XMO:W. We know that Azazel has been confirmed to be in this movie, so maybe they have some ideas about playing with alternate dimensions and such.

I was incredibly let down by X3 and XMO:W. I keep trying to give them a chance but every time I try to watch them I end up disliking them even more. I still find myself having hopes that this movie won't suck ass. I'm down to watch it and at least give it a chance.
