While the majority of the overgrowing cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past have expressed excitement about reprising and expanding their mutant roles, only a few have actually declared they’ve read the screenplay. Speaking with I Am Rogue today, James McAvoy revealed he read the script, written by Simon Kinberg, just yesterday. “It’s great. It’s really good and strong. I think fans will love it. I think people who have never seen any of the [previous] X-Men films before are going to be really into it. I think it’s satisfying and giving people what they want, while at the same time being challenging and giving them something different, new, and unexpected.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait to work with Michael again, Jennifer and Nick. It’s going to be great, we got along so well the first time around. That’ll be fun. Then also, getting to team up with Sir Patrick. I don’t know if I get to work with Sir Ian, but it should be a real exciting time I think.”
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Days of Future Past will unite Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing & Booboo Stewart. Scheduled to film in Montreal soon, the “inbetweenquel” releases July 18, 2014!
