Hugh Jackman in talks for X-Men: Days of Future Past

It was inevitable and should come as no huge surprise that longtime Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to return as the ‘ol canuck in Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Wolverine has appeared in every X-film to date, and has a memorable role in the classic comic story arc of the same name, so there’s no reason why he shouldn’t join the party.

Just days ago Singer confirmed the return of alumni Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, along with “First Class” actors James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.

In a story that involves alternate timelines and (most likely) gigantic mutant-hunting robots known as the Sentinels, this is obviously going to be a quite ambitious film for the X-Men cinematic universe.

#DOFP isn’t out ’til July 18, 2014, but you can catch Logan battling the Silver Samurai next year in  THE WOLVERINE, due July 26, 2013.
