Hugh Jackman in talks to play Wolverine again

Hugh Jackman is in talks to reprise the role of Wolverine in the new X-Men film, according to reports.

According to entertainment website The Hollywood Reporter, Jackman will join original X-Men stars Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as well as James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, the Age reported.

Earlier this week, director Bryan Singer announced that Stewart and McKellen, who portrayed Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto in the original X-Men movies, would be joining the new X-Men Days of Future Past.

The movie is ostensibly a sequel to X-Men: First Class, and the seeds of a tie-in were sown with Jackman’s cameo as Wolverine in X-Men: First Class, the website said.
