X-MEN: FIRST CLASS<\/a> director Matthew Vaughn<\/strong> has been doing promo for his (awesome) new film ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ and recently revealed to MTV<\/a> that he originally had plans to recast Hugh Jackman<\/strong> as Wolverine when he was still on-board to direct X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I had a whole different idea of how X-Men should go,” he says. “I thought ‘Days of Future Past’ should be the next one and be set in the ’80s, so when I wrote the treatment, I then wrote Kingsman and got confused about which film I should direct next. The I said to Fox, ‘Let me do Kingsman now [and] get somebody else in and we’ll [follow-up with] the ’70s version, recast Wolverine, and then we do ‘Days of Future Past’ with the new Wolverine AND Hugh, and make it the biggest spectacle we’ve ever seen.”<\/p>\n

Interesting idea, but Wolverine’s healing factor means he would still look similar in both timelines AND Jackman already had a memorable cameo in First Class’ 1963 time period.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Josh Wilding at Comic Book Movies<\/a> for the heads up!<\/p>\n
