![X-Men: The Last Stand – Enter The X-Men [Video Clip]](https://i0.wp.com/x-menfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img_8004-compressed.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1)
Bryan Singer kind of jumped the gun. Ian McKellen recently confirmed Patrick Stewart’s statement about not yet signing a contract for X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. While discussions and verbal agreements may have taken place, nothing is “officially” set in stone.
“Yes, I’m delighted that Patrick Stewart and I seem to be welcomed back into the fold, but we haven’t seen the script, either of us, although Bryan tweeted that we’re going to do it.” said McKellen to Malone’s Movie Minute. The actor told MTV “I have to say, I haven’t signed a contract […] but when Bryan Singer calls, on the whole, I follow.”
Hugh Jackman previously confirmed being in discussions, while Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult are already locked-in, thanks to their FIRST CLASS multi-picture deals with 20th Century Fox.
It will take a while before deals are in place for the original gang. Offers of interest are just now being sent out and the screenplay is still in development. Scheduling is likely to become a nightmare, so have patience until everything is worked out. Official announcements should be coming in due time!
Update: Original article contained a James Marsden and Halle Berry rumor that was misinterpreted from a posting on THR. No word if they will be involved or not.

Yes!!! Storm and Cyclops!!!! I hope this turns out to be true and not just a rumor.
Me too!
this is going to be an epic movie.. It will beat the Avengers for sure.. Contract the others too.. Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, and the other mutants from x-men 2.. I believe this events happen after x-men 2, before x-men 3, maybe it would be best if nightcrawler is in, just to explain why he is not in the x-men 3..
No, I do not think it will beat Avengers. It may beat X-Men First Class and X3. I will wait for the offical casting annoucements from 20th Century Fox on who will be coming back for this movie.
same here..
to Ant and the fans: Movieweb made a misinterpretation of the original article by Thehollywoodreporter.
Take a look at Movieweb article and then HR and you’ll see it.
Whoops. Thanks! 🙂
If they can bring back Cyclops then they can bring back Jean Grey. Nuff said.
There is no sign that they will bring back either character, unless they somehow erase the events of X3 from history, which is what I think Days of Future past will do.
I do not think the annoncement was prematurely, I think they want to show that the original trilogy actors will return.
