Chatting with Bleeding Cool, director Bryan Singer was asked if the villain Apocalypse is in the film:
"I can't tell you…"
In the comics Apocalypse is said to be the first mutant in history, born five millennia ago on another planet, and shows up throughout several periods in history.
Could this be the character that Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage is playing?
Asked if Apocalypse would require performance capture, a reportedly nervous Singer said:
"This is how it gets started, when somebody starts piecing the little bits together…"
The entire X-Men: First Class cast is set to reprise their roles, including James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), and Nicholas Hoult (Beast).
The original trilogy stars Sir Ian McKellen Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are already poised to return again as well. Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pride) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman)Halle Berry (Storm) While it was hoped that James Marsden (Cyclops) would be back. It seems Alan Cumming.(Nightcrawler) will not return.
French actor Omar Sy also stars
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 in April, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" hits screens July 18th 2014
