Bryan Singer keen to include the duo

X-Men: Days Of Future Past may still be awaiting its cinematic release, but Bryan Singer is already hard at work on the script for follow-up, X-Men: Apocalypse , which could see the return of some familiar faces.

During an interview with Cine Premiere , Singer revealed that he was considering restoring a couple of fan-favourites to his mutant roster in the form of Gambit and Nightcrawler.

“I'm considering Gambit and potentially a young Nightcrawler for Apocalypse,” says Singer. “I was going to have Nightcrawler [ in Days of Future Past ] and even wrote a scene, but I felt that we were forcing too many mutants into the story.”

It would indeed be a treat to see Nightcrawler back in action, but we’re even more excited to see Singer get his hands on Gambit, particularly after the character’s fleeting appearance in X-Men Origins .

Before that happens however, we’ve got X-Men: Days Of Future Past to look forward to, with that film set to open in UK cinemas on 22 May 2014.

For our own exclusive interview with Singer, pick up the brand new issue of Total Film , which is out in shops and available to iPad and Google Play users now.
