Director Bryan Singer has confirmed that the original Professor X and Magneto are set to return to the X-Men family.
It was only a matter of time but Singer just tweeted, "I'd like to officially welcome back James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult to 'X-Men: Days of Future Past. Also thrilled to announce Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart'.
Ok let's rewind for a second: Ian Mckellen and Michael Fassbender both play Magneto while Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy both play Professor X so how is this whole thing going to work? Remember now, 'Days of Future Past' is a storyline arc that features alternative timelines where Kitty Pryde has to send her mind back to her younger self to warn the X-Men they must prevent the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly in order to save the future. So, it would stand to reason that the movie will be fully utilizing the time traveling element from the comics as the old school Magneto and Professor X would be trying to help out the younger versions of themselves.
Having Mckellen and Stewart reprise their respective roles seemed pretty necessary considering the storyline but as to how big their roles will be in the film is still to be determined. 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is scheduled for a July 18, 2014 release.
My mutant friends, how do you feel about McKellen and Stewart coming back for the movie? Who else would you want to see reprise their role? Wolverine seems like a logical next step to us but let us know in the comments and don't forget to subscribe. I'm Aja Dang for Clevver Movies, thanks for watching.
