Empire Magazine have shared an exclusive image of the entire X-Universe cast, or at least those who attended the San Diego Comic-Con last year. It's a pretty cool image, with some great background art provided by John Royle. We've got actors from the entire upcoming slate of films either in post- or pre-production, including Hugh Jackman (who'll be getting a third Wolverine solo film), Channing Tatum (appearing as Gambit in his film, touted for this year), Ryan Reynolds and the majority of the players from his Deadpool flick, as well as most of the cast from X-Men: Apocalypse, due out in five short months. Take a look at the entire image below. You have to admit, that is one heck of a cast Fox have pulled together - and with the A-List stars of Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Channing Tatum and more, they have to be spending quite a lot of dough to be keeping them all around. But hey - X-Men: Days Of Future Past was the highest-grossing X-flick so far, so they've probably got the money to burn. All I know is, Fox definitely seem to have gotten to a point where they really respect the franchise and its longevity, and its ability to be a contender for Marvel's Cinematic Universe throne. The more comic book adaps there are, the more the fans win.
Deadpool is released 4th February 2016 in the UK and 16th February in the US. X-Men: Apocalypse is released on 19 May 2016 in the UK and 27 May in the US. Gambit is scheduled for release in 2016 and Wolv3rine (part of me actually wants them to call it that) is lined up for a planned 2017 release.
