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.

too many people are still waiting for :
– Halle Berry who must return as Storm and she must be a leader X men in X men Days of Future Past !
– Famke Janssen who must return as bigger role in X men Days of Future Past she isn’t as Dark Phoenix but White Phoenix of the Crown with getting evil, her all powers completed more powerful more than she was in X men 3 Last Stand as Dark Phoenix and she wears a white one !
– January Jones as Emma Frost in X men first Class her acting was very BAD Bryan Singer must meet Charlize Theron to be an older Emma Frost in future and Charlize Theron is good for Emma Frost ! and change January Jones with Charlize Theron !
– Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, she isn’t going to join with brotherhood but she joins with Apocalypse Mr Sinister Exodus and Holocaust, Mystique must always bring guns like in comic book, and her mutation which can imitate everyone else can be back because the cure wasn’t permanently !
– Anna Paquin as Rogue, her power will be come back too and she will have to join with Gambit ( (Taylor Kitsch )
– ian Somerhalder is good for an older Havok, Angelina Jolie is good for Scarlet Witch, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler must come again and James Marsden must come back !
I think Anna will come back as Rogue, I do not think Alan Cummings will be Night Crawler again ( he hated the make-up). Taylor Kitch could return as Gambit. I think Live Schiber will be back as Sabretooth (he was better then Tyler Mane). Famke and James could return as Jean Grey and Scott Summers. No one cares about storm anymore unless they recast the part. It maybe a combination of familar and newer actors for the X-Men.
Dude, I totally disagree with you. Storm was a huge role in DOFP. Storm is the biggest female character in Marvel. So I have no idea what your talking about when you say no one cares about Storm. Storm is needed. Halle needs to return.
Well ateast we have four Actors or more actors they might returning for a special future from the Future past that is going to be awesome James Marsden ,Famken Janssen Mr Stewart and Mr Mcellen and i hope that Halle Berry got the humor to Returned as Storm i hope she will or there,s one person who is like this character Storm who is Katharina Graham the one who acted in the Rapp movie who is Honey 2 the movie she is in the show of the vampire diaries as her character Witch and if halle Barry can’t come as storm she could be Kath Graham the one who act in the show of the vampire diaries as Witch she would be cool or interesting why not the new Storm and from the other actress if she cant do Jean Grey Famke Janssen it could be Phoebe Tankin the one who where in the secret circle she could be Jean Grey if Famke Janssen can’t do it i would choose Phoebe Tankin the one who acted in the secret circle and now is in the vampire diaries this 2 babes one is Kath Graham the witchy character who can cover for Halle Barry and second is Phoebe Tankin the other who can cover to of Famke Janssen they would be fantastic very awesome super awesome they both both have the hability to have theyre special psychik character powers why not let’s see to see who is better who know so lets c we have nothing to loose to see the new Actresses for me is on the movie this to actresses thank you
Every news turns out to be good these days,,,
I can see Hugh back as Logan. It sounds like this movie is clearly ment to wipe out X3 from the movie continunity. More and more this sounds like X4.
I fear this might end a little overloaded…
I would prefere them to focus on the FIRST CLASS cast, and except for old Xavier, old Magneto and Wolverine, leave all other original characters out of it.
It is a 120 minute film, and having what… 20 main characters? You know this is undoable.
For some reason, your’e right.. Its just that there is this excitement and amazement if you see the whole old and new characters together in one film..
I’m guessing the original trilogy actors will have limited roles, save the one or two that go back in time. The “First Class” will likely get the bulk of screentime.
yeah.. I think they need to save the original trilogy actors for x-men 4..
exuse me about Halle Barry but It is ok to have her many many billions of fans out there but leave her some space to think about it but without presure of course ok thank you
infact halle barry is Maried and she has two kids so we don’t know what is her responsability she is going to take that’s the problem so sorry,.. infact i like to verry much to see her again but that is the problem she don’t know in what house is going to put we she has her character on her
If done right, I think the X-Men movie universe will be as interesting as the Avengers movie universe is.
The potential is definitely there.
