In an in-depth interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Oscar nominated actor Hugh Jackman talks about his return as Logan/Wolverine in the highly anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past. According to the site, Jackman (who will next be seen as the iconic mutant in July 26th's The Wolverine) is not committed to any more films in the long-running franchise after the Bryan Singer-directed sequel, and even that came rather suddenly. "I first heard about it around October or November [2012]. I was literally finishing The Wolverine and dreaming about lasagna, and about three weeks before the end, they told me. There was no way I was not going to be part of that." THR also says that Jackman's role in Days Of Future Past will be "large", and that he'll be reunited with many members of the original X-Men cast. He then says that he has yet to read a finished script, and that he has only seen an eight-page synopsis. For much more from the Les Miserables star, click the source link below.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin and Shawn Ashmore. The film is set to hit theaters July 18th, 2014.
