Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen returning for X-Men: Days of Future Past
I'd like to officially welcome back James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, & Nicholas Hoult to #XMEN for #DaysOfFuturePast

Thrilled to announce @ianmckellen118 & @sirpatstew are joining the cast of #XMEN#DaysOfFuturePast#magneto#professorX More to come...

Naturally, this revelation poses many questions, such as how will the older Professor X and Magneto exist alongside the younger versions played by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender? Here's what Bryan Singer said, when asked that very question.
"The movie is called X-Men: Days of Future Past, use your imagination. More to come."
We reported earlier this month that production will begin on X-Men: Days of Future Past in April 2013.
X-Men: Days of Future Past comes to theaters July 18th, 2014 and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman. The film is directed by Bryan Singer.

CHEST PIECES RESUME PLAY like in the past. So great they are back on board. Imagine if would not return, who would we get? Humm.. Can't imagine!

Wow. This is pretty exciting. I like that Singer now has the power to bring First Class in line with his films. I wonder if he'll try to address continuity errors at all by pulling a Star Trek-like switch that creates a new alternate future so that First Class and the Singer films are actually two separate universes. I wonder also if Singer will ignore The Last Stand like Superman Returns ignored Superman 3 and 4. There was so much done in X3 that would be easier to just pretend never happend than to try to undo or explain around.
Pretty excited to see how this shapes up.
