Bryan Singer made two X-Men movies, then Brett Ratner made a third, but it sucked, so Matthew Vaughn made a prequel to the first two with a new cast, and it was pretty good again. Now Bryan Singer is back making the sequel to that prequel, which will star prequel stars James McAvoy, Michael F. Assbender, and Jennifer Lawrence, along with original stars Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen (confirmed a few days ago). Now, the Hollywood Reporter says Hugh Jackman is in talks to come back to play Wolverine in X-Men: Let’s Just Forget That Whole Brett Ratner Thing.
Sources confirm that Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to reprise his Wolverine role in the movie, which is ostensibly a sequel to X-Men: First Class but will prominently feature actors from the first X-Men trilogy (the first two of which Singer directed).
Days of Future Past is a classic storyline that unfolded in two issues of Marvel Comics’ Uncanny X-Men in 1981, from writer Chris Claremont and artists John Byrne and Terry Austin. The story was partially set in an alternate future where surviving mutants have been penned in concentration camps, giant robots called Sentinels patrol America, and most of the X-Men have been hunted and killed. In the present day, the X-Men were forced to stop a key event from unfolding in order to keep that future from occurring. [THR]
I don’t know how the time travel storyline from Days of Future Past plays out in the comics (though I’m sure you nerds will tell me, won’t you – HELP, MY NECKBEARD IS BECOMING THICK AND DANDRUFFY!), but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I could watch an entire movie of Magneto flying around the Earth killing geriatric Nazis.
“X-MEN! You must prevent a key event and save the future from becoming a dystopian hellhole! (*whispering*) Psst. And here’s an extra thou if you can go back in time and keep Adam Levine’s parents from meeting.”

Mmmm….Xtra long Hugh Jackman arm.
Of course he will be back to play Wolverine the guy doesn’t have much else to do after failing to be a Rom Com lead.
At least he’s always got musicals.
I’d be perfectly satisfied to see a movie about Laremy flying around the world killing Nazi dogs. Germanator: The Bad Shepherd.
Yeah, first thought that popped into my head was “Why is Jackman throwing up a Heil Hitler”?
Negotiations are taking so long because he feels the time travel plot is the perfect opportunity to reprise his role as lovable anachronistic Duke Leopold. Hopefully it would mean that Wolverine ended up in some alternate universe tearing Meg Ryan to shreds.
Sweet, I love this X-men story, but not as much as Jackman loves musicals.
Are we seriously pretending that X-3 and Wolverine never happened? I like how Fox is rolling on this.
Dandruffy? Pssh. I’ll have you know I always use Neck & Shoulders on my beard!
Wolverine is an important part of the story in X-Men: Days Of Future Past original comic, the movie version would not have made sense without this character. Anyway, Jackman will soon start to shoot his next movie, Prisoners, a thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve (Academy Award-nominated for “Incendies”) his negotiations for Days of Past and Future are yet to be defined, maybe he could give up to join the project. The guy doesn’t have much else to do? I have noticed that people who write here know shit about this actor… The Hammer: where do you live, on Pluto? I hope you will not commit suicide but Jackman will most likely be nominated for his first Academy Award as best actor for his new upcoming movie. Les Miserables previews were a great success, getting rave reviews and standing ovations, experts predict a lot of Oscars. Mancini: maybe it’s better choose photos that reveal a little less your inferiority complex and little more related to the topic dealt, broken records are bored and make laugh just idiots. Every time there is something to discuss about this actor all of you sounds like a bunch of unattractive sour spinsters looking at a poster of Angelina Jolie… P.S. jangles: Jackman was nominated at the Golden Globe Awards as Best Actor for Kate and Leopold.
Fuck Hugh Jackman.
Thanks, I’m sure Hugh Jackman needs shitty morons to defend him on the internet while he’s busy fucking models and making millions of dollars that he’ll use to make homeless children get oiled up and fight for his amusement.
So Stratos you’re Jackman’s agent or PR rep? PR is important to an actor’s career, but posting in comments sections on the interwebs doesn’t make much sense. Jackman will soon be replacing you. One would think you have better things to do with your time than respond to sarcastic internet posts.
Maybe you could cloak your disdain for criticisms of clients better by using language that isn’t blatantly copied from an unedited press release?
PS – no one saw Kate & Leopold. It lost $1 million.
Needs more DISH
@Jangles
Not to say anything nice about any of Hugh Jackman’s roles that weren’t the first two X-Men films (I saw Paperback Hero while on holiday in Lebanon in 2005. I still have nightmares), but everything you hear about him boils down to: Nice guy, shitty taste in movies, happily married.
Of course, in Hollywood “happily married” often means “spouse doesn’t give a shit who he fucks provided nothing infectious transpires”, but still.
I’ll believe it. I have absolutely nothing against Hugh Jackman. I just meant he’s filthy rich, can do whatever he wants with his life, and could probably not care less what people are saying about him in comments sections on the internet. He doesn’t need Swedish Fish like Stratos coming to his creepy and overly-detailed defense.
Yeah, sorry, I responded to you before I scrolled down and witnessed the madness. I tend not to read walls of text like the above – if you can’t be bothered to use paragraph breaks, I can’t be bothered to pay attention.
WTF? Is that true about Kate & Leopold?
That he was nominated for a Golden Globe? Apparently so. Yet another reminder that the only golden globes that matter dangle comfortably atwixt my legs.

well done sir.
Hehe, Jackman’s going to get Assbent
jangles (and those like him): have you tried to fuck H. Jackman and he replied: no thanks, I prefer have sex with your father? I think the answer is NOPE, right? Do you personally know this actor as a relative of yours? No, of course. People who loves gossip doesn’t have a life and talking just for ‘fun’ about sexuality of someone you don’t know personally is, regardless, something stupid and insulting, as well as defamatory. Gossip is prerogative of sissies, not men. Anyway, those who have a satisfying sex life doesn’t need to snoop what other people do in bed, because judge people by their sexuality is a clear sign of lack of personal sexual life. This delusional bullshit (“making millions of dollars that he’ll use to make homeless children get oiled up and fight for his amusement”) reveals the low level of your brain as well as being a paradox, because everyone except you knows that this actor is actively engaged in many humanitarian projects in collaboration with entities such as the UN, UNICEF, The Global Poverty Project and World Vision. All organizations that protect children in the world. Your argument is invalid, unless you’re an active practitioner of sex tourism with children, so you were talking about yourself.
Alcoholics Gratuitous: I’m not an agent or a PR rep. I’m the mirror that reflects your envy and forces you to deal with it. The truth hurts…
Literally no one said he was gay. See a shrink.
You’re English makes you more like a funhouse mirror, but I’m just going to presume that you’re Armond White’s cousin from Kazakhstan.
Wut?
jangles: Literally no, through coarse innuendo, definitely yes. I did not need to see a shrink so get it over with this farce, and reread the unnecessarily and offensive bestiality you wrote in your comment Thank God I’m not American but I can read and understand perfectly.
Oh good. I was worried that some Hugh Jackman lover that constantly projects homosexuality and bestiality was roaming my country, but you’re mercifully a foreigner. Enjoy Russia or whatever, bro.
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
Trolls gonna troll…
Sorry, I’m not Russian, I’m not a troll and there aren’t lovers, except in your visionary raving brain. There is no country in the world that I can enjoy, knowing that nations warmongering can declare war when they want merely for their own interests. In your country is roaming a lot of bad things unfortunately also exported abroad. Americans are masters in the art of pointless hate, you’ve KKK instead of DNA.
Asshole, if you don’t live here, how would you know how hateful the USA is? Given the ethnic diversity of the USA, it’s exceptionally tolerant.
