Azazel not returning for ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’

“I don’t think I will be back,” said Jason Flemyng, when asked by Independent about him reprising his role as Azazel in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. “Initially I was gutted, but then, I remembered I had to get up at two in the morning, I had to be painted red and be slightly out of focus and posed a lot, and that was sort of it. Now I don’t have to do that.

“I’ve had twins so I’m quite glad to stay at home. It’s filmed in Canada and it takes about seven months so I’m quite glad to be at home. I am gutted because Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, McAvoy and that lot are back so I think they will have a good time.”

Thanks to @SweetnothingsSP for the heads up!
