When we heard Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were returning for the next X:Men film we couldn't quite contain our excitement. So, as you can imagine, when we learned that Rogue, Iceman and Shadowcat would be returning too, we couldn't help but squeal just a little.
Bryan Singer took to Twitter last night to spread the word. "Very excited to welcome #annapaquin, @ellenpage & @shawnrashmore to #XMen #DaysofFuturePast. Thank you @BrettRatner for letting them live!" he tweeted. Guess he was greatful considering Ratner killed off a few key players in X-Men: The Last Stand. HOW could you kill off James Marsden, Brett? HOW? *cough* I mean, uhh, Cyclops was such a deep character with so much potential.
Saying that, if they can work Patrick Stewart back into the script... Either way, this is one film that's lining itself up to be pretty jah-may-zing if I do say so myself. Here's hoping Singer and co can deliver.
First Class stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult all return for the sequel, which is due in cinemas on July 18th 2014.
