Hugh Jackman to Return as Wolverine in X-Men:Days of Future Past

News of the upcoming "X-Men" film, "Days of Future Past", bringing back Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan to reprise their roles surely had some fan girls and boys quite excited. Now, we have news of Wolverine coming back as well; Hugh Jackman is said to be in negotiations to reprise the role.

The film, which will be a sequel to "X-Men: First Class", will still mainly focus on the characters in their younger years, and while Jackman had a cameo in the original film, his role is said to be more substantial this time around.

Joining Jackman will be "First Class" stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.
