Ever since the announcement of X-Men: Days of Future Past, the cast has only grown, but now it seems we’ve found one character that might not be returning. January Jones, who played Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class, said she doesn’t know anything about the film in an interview with Collider.
I dont know that Im in it, I dont think Emmas in this one. Well they havent told me if I am (laughs). I wouldnt put it past them though, I got the script for the first one on the airplane on the way there. Its called Days of Future Past I think, and I think its more about James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] and then Patrick [Stewart] and Ian [McKellan], and I think its gonna go back and forth with those so I dont think Emmas in those bits. I dont know, I really dont know.
As Ms. Jones said, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender are all confirmed to return for the film, along with Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Hugh Jackman. X-Men and X2 director Bryan Singer also returns behind the camera.
Scheduled for release on July 18, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past features a script by Simon Kinberg and is said to be inspired Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s comic book storyline that ran in “Uncanny X-Men” #141 and 142 back in 1981. “Days of Future Past” introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel’s mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.
