Berry & Marsden Back For X-Men FC 2?

A THR story suggests that Halle Berry (Storm) and James Marsden (Cyclops) are being sought out to make a return for ”X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to X-Men: First Class".

Can you say Superhero overcrowding?


The entire FC cast is set to reprise their roles, including James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), January Jones (Emma Frost) and Nicholas Hoult (Beast).Sir Ian McKellen Sir Patrick Stewart and  Hugh Jackman are already poised to return again as well.

Bryan Singer penned the treatment and produced 'First Class' which was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Now, their roles will be completely reversed for this sequel with Singer helming the film while Vaughn wrote the treatment and will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg.

The sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) is on board to pen the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.

Scheduled to begin shooting early next year, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" hits screens July 18th 2014.
