It’s not news as such, but it’s an exciting prospect, in a couple of ways.Hugh Jackman has recently been discussing the new X-MEN movie, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, and just how much faith he has in it:
‘I think some people are saying, “Ah, this just sounds like an excuse to get all these actors together and make an AVENGERS-style movie,” but the truth is that it’s a great script and Bryan is very ambitious to make the best movie of them all. He’s got the biggest cast, the biggest budget, and he started it all, so it’s his legacy. He’s a fan of time-travel movies and the detail that’s gone into it is incredible. I’m quietly confident that it will be the biggest and the best of them all. When I sat there on that panel at Comic Con, and looked down at all the actors, you think, “This might be one of the best ensembles ever assembled”… Apart from MOVIE 43 (laughs)’.
I bloody love Hugh Jackman!
Since the premise was revealed, fans have been anticipating a smackdown between Wolverine (Jackman) and the equally brooding, human hunk-a-tron Magneto (Michael Fassbender). Here’s what Hugh had to say;
‘It’s fair to say we don’t get on that well. I get sent back to the past and he has no idea who I am, but you can imagine Wolverine has a bit of fun with that.’
I think we will too, Hugh. I think we will too.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST hits theatres 22nd May 2014 in the UK and the US the next day. It’s directed by Bryan Singer and stars Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellen, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult and apparently everybody else in Hollywood.
