Filming will take place in Australia and Japan, and Australian news site The Leader says one of the sets is now under construction, reporting: "Residents were notified by 20th Century Fox that Bonna Point Reserve would be temporarily occupied to make way for a World War II prisoner of war camp set.
"Scenes for the film will be shot in two days between Monday, July 30, and Thursday, August 2."
There's no clue yet as to how that wartime set figures in the story, which is based largely on a highly-regarded comic book miniseries set in Japan.
In an interview in the Sydney Morning Herald, star Hugh Jackman says many of the Japan sequences will be studio-created: "It speaks to the incredible craftsmanship [here] that we can make so much of Japan - feudal Japan, urban Japan, sets - all here on our soundstages in Australia."
Jackman was also asked for his view on the Colorado cinema shootings that took place at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises, and he said: "All I can echo is just the sorrow I feel for the families, for the community, for everybody.
"It's an issue that goes obviously way beyond acting, beyond film, beyond anything like that.
"This is just a tragedy on a level that we have experienced in Australia many years ago, in Tasmania, and it's just devastating."
Next up for the X-Men franchise is the sequel to X-Men: First Class. Fox has registered the title and domain name Days of Future Past, suggesting the movie is based on a comic book tale that involves time travel to stop a pivotal event creating a dystopian future.
