“I think there's every possibility,” he told the crowd, before listing his female co-stars.
“Halle Berry! Famke Janssen! Rebecca Stamos! Anna Paquin! Yes, I'll be reprising.”
Director Bryan Singer confirmed that the next film will be based on the 'Days of Future Past' storyline, published over two comic books in the 80s.
“It’s going to be very ambitious. It’s called Days of Future Past and it deals with aspects of that comic but also, some very new things,” he said.
“I think there’s a strong desire to broaden out the universe. I mean, the X-Men universe is every bit on its own as big as the Marvel universe and I think it’s time to reach out and explore it and perhaps even bring some connectivity between the films, as Marvel’s done so well. You may see some of that, I don’t know.”
