If all goes to plan, there are going to be a hell of a lot of superheroes in X-Men: Days Of Future Past. We already knew the First Class mutants would be meeting up with Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart & possibly Hugh Jackman from the earlier X-Men movies, but now THR reports that Halle Berry, James Marsden and others are being sought too.
It isn’t clear if Fox has issued proper offers to the actors, although the THR story suggest others earlier X-Men are being contacted too to see if they can becomes part of the movie, although we don’t know which ones. There is said to be a lot of ‘willingness to participate’ now that director Bryan Singer has returned to the director’s chair.
So don’t be surprised if we hear the likes of Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn and Ben Foster are returning in the the next few weeks. Bryan Singer is directing from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg, with Matthew Vaughn still attached as a producer, despite dropping out as the director.

For a while now people have been wondering if X-Men: Days Of Future Past would feature both the First Class mutants and some from the original X-Men trilogy, due to the fast the comic book story arc it’s based on features time travel.
There was a bit of drama last week when despite the fact the shoot of X-Men: Days Of Future Past is already set to start in January, director Matthew Vaughn stepped down. At the time it was revealed that his most likely replacement was X-Men 1 & 2 helmer Bryan Singer, who up until that point was simply serving as a producer.
X-Men director Bryan Singer has been busy working on Jack The Giant Killer, which is due out March 2013, but the gay helmer has also found time to produce H+ The Digital Series, a 48-part sci-fi show, offering over three hours of entertaining, which will be released online, starting August 8th.
We hadn’t heard much about Bryan Singer’s planned cinematic reboot of Battlestar Galactica, until a few days ago when it was revealed the director’s remake of Excalibur had been cancelled and he was now making Battlestar a priority. As if to prove it, he and Universal have hired someone to write it.
