SPOILERS?

@Aye-Dreee_In gave the heads up regarding a guy named Blake Parker, who’s been Instagram-ing various photos of himself with the cast and crew of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, including Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Omar Sy, Jennifer Lawrence, Fan Bingbing, and director, Bryan Singer. While his occupation is unknown, it’s obvious that he’s close knit with these folks.

Included in the gallery is a photo with “Girls” actress, Allison Williams (photo below). This could be just be a totally random photo, but there’s plenty of room for speculation. In April, Deadline reported that Williams was on Fox’s shortlist and “in the very early talking stage” to play Susan Storm aka Invisible Woman in director Josh Trank and producer Matthew Vaughn’s FANTASTIC FOUR reboot.

With the hiring of Marvel “consultant” Mark Millar, Fox is allegedly trying to create an expanded cinematic universe, where both “X-Men” and “FF” could exist in the same world and potentially intermingle. To create the connective tissue between these properties, is it possible that Williams was cast as Susan to appear in DOFP? While the character didn’t appear in the original comic book arc, her dystopian-future adult son Franklin Richards did.

Production on FF is rumored to begin early Fall in Vancouver for a March 6, 2015 release.

Take with a grain of salt until proven otherwise!
