Bryan Singer Says X-Men: Days Of Future Past Will Be Darker

Bryan Singer says there will be a darker edge to X-Men: Days of Future Past, compared the other films in the franchise.

Singer returns to direct an X-Men film for the first time since the success of X-2 as characters from the two franchises are set to collide.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is the sequel to X-Men: First Class but will feature much loved characters from the first series.

And while there is a darker feel to this film, Singer says the humour is still present.

During a Twitter chat he said: "Though there is a great deal of humour, the overall tone is a bit darker than previous films, particularly because of the stakes..."

James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will all be reprising their roles from First Class, while the likes of Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart are all also on board.

Singer went on to talk about the cast saying: "I was real comfortable with the original cast and knew the #FirstClass cast as a writer/producer but not yet as a director. With the exception of @NicholasHoult [Beast] of course - but they were all fantastic and made the experience fun."

X-Men: Days of Future Past is released 22nd May 2014.

Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult eyed for Drake Doremus’ Equals

After making waves with his 2011 movie, Like Crazy, Drake Doremus returned to Sundance at the start of the year with Breathe In, and whilst on the press circuit for the latter, he was already talking about what he’ll do next, and now it looks like he’s getting very close to realizing that project, now revealed as being titled Equals.

Deadline reports that the writer-director is courting Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult to lead the sci-fi / romance movie, with the two set to star as the young couple who anchor the film.

Very few details are known about the film, but it’s been written by Nathan Parker, who wrote Duncan Jones’ Moon, and with Doremus at the helm, that’s really all we need to know to start getting excited.

Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin were a spectacular young couple in Like Crazy, and the prospect of Stewart and Hoult providing another one for Doremus is superb.

Stewart of course concluded her part as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga last year, and has been lining up a handful of projects since then, including next year’s Camp X-Ray and Sils Maria. It sounds like she’s moving in some very interesting directions with her movie choices, as she’s always done, and Equals would undoubtedly make for a fantastic performance from her.

Hoult, too, has been making a great name for himself in recent years. He was brilliant as Hank / Beast in X-Men: First Class, a role he’ll be reprising in next year’s anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past. He was also a real hit leading Warm Bodies earlier in the year, and will soon be seen in Jake Paltrow’s long-awaited Young Ones, alongside Michael Shannon, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Elle Fanning.

Doremus is well known for his improvisational style, and seeing Stewart and Hoult on screen in that environment would be very interesting. Production on the film is expected to begin in early 2014, so concrete casting news will hopefully be coming in soon.
