In an interview with Screenrant about his role in upcoming animated movie, Hop, the actor was quizzed about his parts in the X-Men trilogy and Superman Returns. Here's what he had to say.
"I know so little about First Class. I’m still happy they’re making the X-Men movies, and Fox is smart they can keep making these movies with the wealth of back story – you could do a spin-off of every character. The challenge of the first was having ten to fifteen characters and having enough time to establish who they are, especially with the years of back story. But I don’t look back and feel any disappointment. I’d love to come back and do a new one with the original group, but they’re busy."
"As for Superman, I’m glad they’re doing it. And I just read that Amy Adams was cast as Lois Lane (his co-star in Enchanted), which is perfect. I look at every movie as its own thing, and they’re going for a totally different tone. I can only look at it as a fan’s perspective, which is why I wanted to be a part of it the one I was in. Now I look at it as a fan of the character, and I’m excited there’s a new one."
While it's pretty obvious that the actor would not be returning for Zack Snyder's take on the Man of Steel, it looks like he's heard nothing about Fox's plans to make
X-Men 4 and
5! Be sure to share your thoughts on this in the usual place.
