In not-so surprising news, Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to reprise Wolverine for Fox’s “X-Men : Days of Future Past”, according to THR.

Though the film is a sequel to “X-Men : First Class”, and not the “X-Men” series Jackman headlined, the inclusion of an alternate-timeline/time-travel plot device, plus Jackman’s cameo in the previous film, almost guaranteed the popular Wolverine character would make another pop-in.

Jackman joins original “X-Men” co-stars Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in the Bryan Singer directed film, which predominately fixes on the ‘First Class’ characters (played by James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult etc).

Jackman recently wrapped work on “The Wolverine”, so hopefully has that flat-stomach, the side-burns and funky hair-do still in place, ready to go again.
