Shawn Ashmore: Door left wide open for future timeline #XMen films.

IGN caught up with X-MEN actors Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) and Kevin Bacon (Sebastian Shaw) at the New York Comic Con and asked them if they see themselves reprising their mutant roles beyond DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and FIRST CLASS.

“Well for me, I love playing the character,” said Ashmore. “I’d love to think the door’s kicked wide open. Honestly I do think the door is open. Making the choice to go into the last moments of the film, to go back and see Cyclops, Jean and the school back the way we saw it in the [original] trilogy obviously leaves it open. I think there’s such a great history from the source material, there’s so many stories left to be told. The movie did well and the audience is there, so we’ll have to see. I would love to play the character again, but we’ll see.”

Bacon didn’t have much to say, as we all know what happened to his character.
