Hugh Jackman Says He Has Been in Talks For 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

At this point we know that X-Men: Apocalypse will be based predominantly on the First Class cast, but what we don't know is to what extent, if any, the original cast will be involved. Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman is by far the most marketable character in that franchise, so the assumption is that we will be seeing him in X-Men: Apocalypse. Jackman himself has now given more credibility to that assumption by confirming that he has been in discussions about the film.

While talking to Happy Sad Confused (via /Film) the actor said the following about his involvement in X-Men: Apocalypse:

"I have been speaking with the guys and I am not at liberty to tell exactly what's going on. Which is largely framing my answer here. But there's still a lot unknown, actually, about that. What I do know is there are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There’s some really cool things going on."

The comments aren't revealing at all about the film, but what we can take from this is the confirmation of discussions about appearing in the film. The talks will probably lead to him being in the film like we all expect, because their most popular character you would assume has to be there, specially because of the big threat the X-Men will face with Apocalypse. X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27th, 2016.
