The Trailer To X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Is HERE!!

The first extended look at X-Men: Days of Future Past is finally here. The follow-up to 2011's X-Men: First Class brings back the series' original mastermind Bryan Singer as director, who saw fit to adapt the seminal '80s comic book time travel story that allows original cast members like Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry and Ian McKellen share the screen with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence.

In the original arc penned by Chris Claremont, in a dystopian future Mutants have been exiled to concentration camps by the robotic Sentinels, which were created by Dr. Bolivar Trask. Kitty Pryde sends her consciousness back in time into her younger self to assist the X-Men in preventing the assassination of Senator Kelly by The Brotherhood of Mutants, and change the anti-Mutant future that awaits.

The film swaps Kitty Pryde (sorry Ellen Page) with Hugh Jackman's far more bankable big screen Wolverine as the timeline traveler, and like any Bryan Singer production, promises to deliver big with dark character development and action.

X-Men: Days of Future Past, set for May 23rd, 2014 in 3D, has enlisted an all-star Mutant line-up of Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Erik Lehnsherr), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Peter Dinklage (Dr. Bolivar Trask), Halle Berry (Storm), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Omar Sy (Bishop), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Fan Bingbing (Blink), Daniel Cudmore (Colossus), Boo Boo Stewart (Warpath), Evan Peters (Quicksilver), Josh Helman (William Stryker), Adan Canto (Sunspot) and Lucas Till (Havok).

Hugh Jackman Praises 'X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST' As Three Movies In One

Access Hollywood has been on full Toronto Film Festival coverage since its kick off last Thursday. Hugh Jackman is in town for his powerful new drama Prisoners, and talked up the post-credits scene in The Wolverine, Bryan Singer's lasting contribution to the big screen superhero genre, and Christopher Nolan's first reaction to 2000's X-Men with AH's Scott Mantz (for full disclosure: I am also on the AH Toronto team taking on camera duties shooting press junkets and red carpet premieres).

While discussing The Wolverine's crowd pleasing extra scene (*SPOILERS* ahead), Jackman revealed his thoughts on the scope of X-Men: Days of Future Past.

"I was in at a screening, when the little easter egg as we call them, came up during the credits of Wolverine. I just kept hearing people yelling an cheering. To see Patrick Stewart come back out you know in the wheelchair, to see Ian McKellen with the fedora on. I know having sat at Comic Con at that panel with that extraordinary cast, this is I keep saying, this is two movies in one, but the size of it is like three in one. And he's really gonna blow people away with the story. I think Bryan Singer is going to be the first director to make increasing better movies in a franchise. I'm not sure if anyone else has done it."

He also went on to further praise Bryan Singer for (thankfully) turning the tide to making darker character driven superhero films, and what Christopher Nolan's reaction was when he saw X-Men in 2000.

"Few people credit Bryan for what he deserves credit for: which is really inventing that genre. There really wasn't a superhero genre before X-Men came out. And funny enough I remember catching a plane while we were promoting The Prestige with Chris Nolan and he said to me he's always had the Batman in his mind, even way back. Even before 2000. He had the version of Batman he ended up making in his head. And he said when I went into the cinema and I saw X-Men he was like 'Damn that's my idea,' the idea that you can really delve into the emotional life to the vulnerabilities of these characters and that that as well as being fantastical and amazing and action is what's gonna hook people and make them care. And that's what Bryan did, he had a lot of courage to do that."

Hugh also laughed off that picture he tweeted of himself lifting an astounding 460 pounds, "just showing off," the embarrassed 45-year old actor said. 460 pounds. Seriously. You need any more inspiration to get your lazy ass to the gym?

It's no exaggeration when people say Hugh Jackman is one of the nicest folks in Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter. I have been fortunate to be a part of NYC press interviews with him since 2000's X-Men and continuing to Van Helsing, X-Men: The Last Stand, Les Miserables, and The Wolverine. Jackman is a consummate cordial class act, so I will without shame include the picture we took after the Prisoners junket interview.
