Hugh Jackman has become the latest star to join the cast of the new X-Men film. The Australian actor will reprise his role as superhero Wolverine in X Men: Days Of Future Past along with his former co-stars Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, and recent additions to the franchise James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender.
Sir Ian Mckellen had no idea he had officially been hired to reprise his role as X-Men character Magneto in a new installment of the movie franchise until producer Bryan Singer announced the casting news via Twitter.com.
Acting knights Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen are set for a return to the X-Men movie franchise, alongside the stars who played their super characters as young men.
