Fans of the series "Sons of Anarchy" have been confused about what to expect when talks about a prequel made the rounds. It's good news for the series' fans as both spin off series and a prequel movie will be made.

Accoording to reports, the cast will get together on May 27 to 29. The working title for the spin off is "The First 9," which refers to the nine founding members of SAMCRO.

In an interview with Deadline, series creator Kurt Stutter has revealed his early plans for the prequel. He shared that he envisions the story to start in Nam and go back to how John Teller and Piney met, became friends and eventually co-founders of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original, otherwise known as SAMCRO, which the series' story revolved around. Early talks have named actor Brad Pitt to play the role of John.

Actor Charlie Hunnam, who played the series' lead star Jax, told Men's Journal in an interview: "He's [Stutter] trying to do a prequel, which I would love to see. Kurt is trying to get it going. Did you read that about Brad Pitt maybe playing my dad? Brad Pitt as John Teller. How awesome would that be?"

In the same interview with Deadline, Stutter also talked about being open to doing something that revolves around the story of the Mayans. He said, "It's the same [biker] subculture, but it'd be interesting to see the influences of that culture and how it impacts the subculture we already understand. I would do a contemporary piece, not a prequel, and place it far enough away from Northern California that it wouldn't step on the mythology that's already been told."

The spinoff is said to star different actors from those casted in the "Sons of Anarchy" series.
