Bryan Singer has previously confirmed that Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine will play a part in Days Of Future Past. Back in November (2012), he made a more unexpected casting announcement on Twitter, revealing the film has roles for X-Men veterans Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen – as well as current stars James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.

However, Patrick Stewart has since claimed “Bryan let the cat out of the bag on Twitter”. Speaking in December (2012), he said: “I know nothing about this project. [But] I’m hoping that might change in the future.”

One character who is unlikely to make an appearance in the new movie is Emma Frost, who is played by Mad Men actress January Jones. When asked about the sequel by Collider, she replied: “I don’t know that I’m in it, I don’t think Emma’s in this one. Well they haven’t told me if I am! I wouldn’t put it past them though – I got the script for the first one on the airplane on the way there.”

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is due to begin shooting this April (2013).
