Hugh Jackman's Wolverine To Join 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'
It seems 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' will indeed feature actors from the franchise's past as well as its future. Just a couple of days ago, it was announced that Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart would be joining the cast, playing of course the older Magneto and Professor X counterparts to Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy in a storyline that allows for such playful chronology. But what of Wolverine? As he is a character that features so prominently in the 'Days of Future Past' comic, it wasn't so much a question of whether he would be added to the roster as much as question of who would play him. Would they recruit the current holder of the role, or perhaps cast a slightly younger performer? Well today it looks like we might just have our answer, Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to reprise the role for 'Days of Future Past.' Jackman is currently shooting his second solo Wolverine film, this time under director James Mangold.
File this under, "it was only a matter of time." As I said, with Wolverine being such a crucial part of this plot, we were eventually going to have to see something about his casting. It's also not surprising that they decided to go with Hugh Jackman again. I don't even think it's a question of maintaining a cohesiveness for audiences (i.e. not introducing them to a new Wolverine in one movie a year after Jackman's second solo effort). This probably has more to do with Bryan Singer's relationship with Jackman, and more specifically his relationship with Jackman as that character. The two previous X-Men films that Singer directed definitely featured Wolverine-heavy plot lines. It seems to be the character in which he's most interested, and getting Jackman back allows him to further that interest. I realize this deal is still in the negotiation stage, but with as much career traction as Jackman has gained playing this part, he'd be crazy not to make the deal.
What do you guys think? Are you happy that it seems Jackman will be returning as Wolverine? Would you have been okay with a different actor stepping in for 'Days of Future Past?'

Dude, I'm not disagreeing with your opinions on the movie, but just for the record I'm a comic book nut and I didn't watch The Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Incredible Hulk or Ironman 2 because the trailers made them look lame, so it's not always a sure thing comic fans will watch movies based on comics, sometimes we don't care!

They should bring in a new face at this point. Ever since Matthew left the project it's been one jumbled mess of news after another. So here we are with more of the old stuff again, yay. Hugh's Wolverine image has a lot of light-hearted goofiness to it from all the other movies. A fresh face could bring a new image. Fanboys can bitch about continuity all they want, they'll still see the movie. I highly admire Hugh's comment to the character, but the only good news out of this story for me is my respect for him as a acter, not the character.
I love First Class and hope this new movie proves as good or better. Til then I'm playing it safe and not having any hopes or expectations about it.

This Movie Is going to be a train wreck....I really hope I am wrong though...But I do not trust Bryan Singer He Sucks...They need to totally reboot this HOT FUCKING MESS that is the XMen Franchise...Frankly the 1st movie was good & Xmen First Class was good...Everything else sucked & because of it there are some MAJOR flaws with the Franchise

WHO CARES? Every Xmen movie has sucked, Xmen Origins: Wolverine was an abomination (I actually enjoyed the game more than the movie). This new movie will be no different.

There is only one real Wolverine...Steve Blum. Hugh Jackman is okay I guess, though. By the Way, Screw you C.)

@ Demetris, Joe Cool and Brian Jordan, we see this sort of thing a lot with whoever writes these articles or at at the least adds their misinformed opinions to the bottom half of the article they may or may not have copied and pasted from elsewhere.
Best to just read the opening paragraph and then ignore what else is said.

How quickly the writer of this article completely forget that Jackman was also in First Class as Wolverine.So why would they need another actor to play wolverine.
