Hugh Jackman In Talks To Join The Cast Of ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

Wait, did you really think they were going to make X-Men: Days Of Future Past without good ol’ Logan? Well, after yesterday’s announcement that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are reprising their roles as Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, it should come as no surprise at all that Huge Jackman is in negotiations to reprise role as Wolverine in the Bryan Singer-directed sequel.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed:

So, you’ll be getting plenty of Wolverine action over the next couple of years in your local multiplexes. This also furthers speculation that The Wolverine, which is due out in theaters July 26, 2013, will lead directly into this film. Expect even more casting news to come soon for X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Mr. Singer, we’re still waiting to hear James Marsden is coming back as Scott Summers.
