Since the announcement of X-Men: Days of Future Past, the cast has continued to grow as actors from both the original X-Men and X-Men: First Class are set to appear in the film. Now even more alumni from the original films have been confirmed for the sequel. Director Bryan Singer tweeted this afternoon that Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) will all be back for the film. He then thanked X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner for having their characters survive.

What role these characters play in the plot is yet to be determined, but the return of Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde is a potential good omen as her character was a focal point of the original comic book storyline.

Other cast members confirmed to return for the movie include Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Hugh Jackman.

Scheduled for release on July 18, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past features a script by Simon Kinberg and is said to be inspired Chris Claremont and John Byrne's comic book storyline that ran in "Uncanny X-Men" #141 and 142 back in 1981. "Days of Future Past" introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants k!lling an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

Rogue's story arc in these X-Men movies is so garbage. [pic]

they need to retcon that crap in this movie somehow.

Ellen page [pic]

Was tryna smash in Inception [pic]

whoa, didn't realize ellen page was in the x-men movies. Was she kitty? it's been so long.

hopefully they give rogue her ms marvel powers now that this movie is basically an alternate reality



anybody know if this movie is supposed to be a First Class sequel? or is it a sequel to X3? (meaning we'd possibly be getting two xmen movies relatively close together). or are they basically just merging the two universes into one movie?

iceman & rogue both rubbed me the wrong way [pic]
definitely didn't want to see them come back.

& why isn't rogue flying???
when i was a kid, she was flying from day 1 [pic]
& y is she such a whiny !!??? she was like the lady version of wolverine back in the day, always ready to fight.
