When Halle Berry announced she was pregnant, X-Men fans wondered how that would affect her returning as Storm for Bryan Singer’s highly anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past. But, based on this tweet from Singer himself, it doesn’t look like much has changed for the weather-controlling mutant, aside from a shorter hairdo and a sleeker uniform. Check out a photo of Halle Berry as Storm tweeted by Singer today below.

Hugh Jackman will make his seventh(!) appearance as Wolverine in next year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, which marks Bryan Singer’s return to the franchise. The actor first heard about the project that features not only original X-Men stars like Jackman and Halle Berry, but also First Class actors like Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, last year while he was shooting this summer’s The Wolverine and was hoping for a break from his superhero workout and diet. “I must admit I was starting to see a life free of steamed chicken breasts,” jokes the actor. “They told me the idea and, at the time, it was Matthew Vaughn [directing]. Instantly, I knew it was a winner. It just felt like everything was coming full circle. However, I must admit my stomach and my mind were like, ‘Oh no.’” READ FULL STORY »

'X-Men: Days of Future Past': Colossus returning, plus 'Twilight' star joins cast
Nels Israelson
The mutant number continues to multiply for Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. The director today tweeted a group of head shots of his starry cast, including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, and Halle Berry, plus some previously unannounced actors, including Daniel Cudmore, who played Colossus in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, plus Fan BingBing (Double Xposure) and Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2). Fox won’t confirm who BingBing or Stewart would be playing so it’s up to fans to start to speculate. Plus there appear to be at least 6 open spaces left on the wall…
So could BingBing be Jubilee? That character has only appeared briefly in the other X-Men films and barely made an impact.
Who could Stewart be? Maybe Wolf Cub since he played a werewolf in the Twilight flicks?
See Singer’s tweet and photo below…

'X-Men: Days of Future Past': 'These two worlds combining is incredible,' says Iceman Shawn Ashmore
Nels Israelson
One of the most highly anticipated films of 2014 hasn’t even begun shooting, but X-Men: Days of Future Past already has fanboys going nuts. First, it’s director Bryan Singer’s return to the series after helming the first two films. Second, Days of Future Past is based on the incredibly popular 1981 storyline for the comic book series in which past and future X-Men collide. Third, it’s assembling an almost ridiculously star-studded cast including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore.

Why is every superhero movie an origin story?
The title of the movie might be Man of Steel, but the star of the latest clip from Zack Snyder’s franchise reboot isn’t actually Superman. It’s Clark Kent, the alien boy who grows up to be a (hipster-bearded!) man, learning along the way some tough lessons about power, responsibility, and the cost-benefit bottom line of using his super strength to save all his schoolmates from a submerged bus. Which makes it official: Man of Steel isn’t just going to be another superhero movie. It’s going to be everyone’s — yours, mine, Hollywood’s — favorite kind of superhero movie: an origin story.
Why exactly do we love watching our favorite heroes begin again (and again)? Do we get some kind of parental joy from seeing their tall-building-spanning baby steps? Were scientists right about the Twitterfication of our attention spans? Maybe, but there’s also a deeper-seated reason: creation stories show the exact moment when a normal guy goes from being Just Like Us to being somehow better, faster, stronger. It’s the bridge between the relatable and aspirational parts of the hero myth. It’s also a handy way for filmmakers to pay their dues to a brand’s fan base (“See? I know my stuff!”) before sending its character off on a splashy villain-fighting quest that might diverge wildly from anything in the sacred comic book canon.
And so, having found that origin stories are a handy narrative tool for kicking off a franchise, Hollywood decided that every superhero movie should be an origin story, dropping our spandex icons into a Groundhog Day loop of childhood traumas, first kisses, and clumsy jumps off high roofs. The intro portion that used to take 10 minutes at the beginning of a movie is now filling entire movies — franchises, even. READ FULL STORY »

Matthew Vaughn won't direct sequel 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'

There’s a superhero-sized switch-up going on with the sequel to 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: First Class.
EW has confirmed that Matthew Vaughn has decided not to direct the film, which he co-wrote, titled X-Men: Days of Future Past. The movie is a spinoff of last year’s X-Men: First Class, which Vaughn directed and also co-wrote.
While Deadline reports that Bryan Singer, who launched the X-Men franchise with 2000′s X-Men, is on a short list to helm the sequel, Singer’s reps at William Morris had no comment when reached by EW. Singer is already named as a producer on X-Men: Days of Future Past. He also co-produced X-Men: First Class.
Will the movie’s slated 2014 release date change with the switch? Time will tell.

Release date shuffles for 'Robopocalypse,' 'Lone Ranger' and 'X-Men' prequel sequel
Further confounding the Mayan calendar, the Robopocalypse has been postponed another year until summer 2014.
Steven Spielberg’s film about the epic collapse of our civilization at the mechanical hands of soulless automatons was originally due July 3, 2013, but 20th Century Fox (which is co-financing the film with DreamWorks, and Disney’s Touchstone distributing) announced today the movie has been shifted to April 25, 2014.
That will give Spielberg and Co. more time to develop the project, and hopefully persuade his Lincoln star Daniel Day-Lewis to cameo as a bloodthirsty, killer version of Disneyland’s “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln” animatronic attraction. (Hey, we can dream.)
Disney announced soon after that Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer’s The Lone Ranger would move back about two months from May 13, 2013 into the July 3 spot vacated by Robopocalypse, while Thor 2 inched forward from Nov. 15 to Nov. 8.
Fox also announced that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a sequel to last summer’s acclaimed hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes, will debut roughly a month later on May 23, 2014, evolving just in time for Memorial Day weekend. And the studio laid out dates for a new X-Men prequel sequel, and a re-release of 1996′s Independence Day in 3-D. READ FULL STORY »
