Well it seems that X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class, will soon be getting a deluge of returning actors.
"The Hollywood Reporter" reveals that Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellan are all in negotiations to return as Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto respectively. Moreover, all three are willing to take less money to be in the project simply because Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2: X-Men United) is going to be behind the camera.
While Jackman, Stewart, and McKellan were the three names most bandied about, Singer implied that other X-Men may return. Look out! Halle Berry could be back as Storm, "Trueblood" star Anna Paquin could return as Rogue, and Famke Jansen might even be back as Phoenix. Hell we might even see a James Marsden sighting as Cyclops!
Unfortunately for those of you hoping the younger versions of the famous heroes will interact with the older ones you will be left wanting. Original film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence will remain firmly entrenched in their 1960s timeline while their older versions will appear in their own proper timeline as well.
X-Men: Days of Future Past begins filming next year with a summer 2014 release date planned.
