Oh looky here, we've got yet another reason to be happy on this pissy Wednesday morning (apart from the fact that Christmas is only six sleeps away!); Hugh Jackman has just signed on the dotted line for another X-Men movie. Hurray! Bryan Singer has just confirmed the news about the most recent addition into the Hollywood Walk of Fame via his own personal Twitter. Isn't Twitter just marvellous? Says the movie editor granny to herself.

"I would officially like to welcome @RealHughJackman to the cast of #Xmen Days of Future Past. Very excited! More to come..." tweeted the coveted director. We can also expect to see Sir Ian McKellen reprise his role (squeee!), with a release for the sequel to X-Men First Class to come some time in 2014. What we're still awaiting confirmation of, however, is Patrick Stewart's involvement.
