— Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) January 23, 2015We knew that would see younger versions of these characters in this film that is set to take place in the 1980s, and it seems like they've cast some solid young talent. They will join James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, and Nicholas Hoult in the film.
We still don't know all of the details about the movie, but we've heard that it will involve ancient mutants and explore a deeper relationship between Magneto and Mystique. Quicksilver will also be back for at least one scene in the movie, but I'd like to see them beef up his role a little more since he's a likable character, and he kind of had the best scene in Days of Future Past.
The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016. What do you think about the latest casting for the film? Do you think that they fit the roles they've been cast in?
