You just can’t have an X-MEN film without Hugh Jackman as Wolverine can you? The actor has played the role five times already, and has THE WOLVERINE coming out next year. On top of this, Hugh Jackman is now in talks to return for his seventh outing as the amnesiac, clawed beast in Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The film will contain elements of time-travel, which explains the fact that Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are returning to their roles, alongside their younger incarnations from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. Bryan Singer directed the first two X-MEN films, but didn’t return for a third after 20th Century Fox refused to wait for him while he directed SUPERMAN RETURNS.
I really do love Jackman as Wolverine, but the character is certainly overused. However, his cameo in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was absolutely hilarious. I’m sure his banter with the new and old cast will be well written and the cause of many laughs. Plus, if they do have the Sentinels, then there is no character I would rather see slicing and dicing giant robots.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is set for release 18th July 2014. It will star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen.
