Last month director Brian Singer tweeted out a confirmation that both Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan would be returning to the X-Men franchise with a part in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the fortchoming sequel to 2011's X-Men First Class.
Now, to further muddy the waters of the already heavily tangled continuity aspect of the franchise, Singer today tweeted out "I would officially like to welcome@RealHughJackman to the cast of #Xmen Days of Future Past. Very excited! More to come"¦" confirming Hugh Jackman's involvement in the film.
This announcement makes Jackman the only actor to appear in all seven X-Men films thus far, though the length of his involvement here isn't known quite yet.
He is currently scheduled to have a second Wolverine film hit theaters in 2013, so his role will probably be supporting, if not a cameo. In First Class he was featured in passing for a mere ten seconds keeping his 100% franchise involvement intact.
The possibilities are endless with Jackman, as Days of Future Past can now be placed anywhere within the time spectrum, seeing as how Wolverine is immortal.
X-Men: Days of Furture Past is set for a July 18, 2014 release date.
