X-Men Days of Future Past: Hugh Jackman Teases Wolverine-Magneto Showdown, Addresses 'Avengers' Comparisons

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Hugh Jackman teased the possibility of a fight between Wolverine and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) in next year's X-Men: Days of Future Past.

He also addressed the comparisons between Days of Future Past and The Avengers:

I'm a fan of the X-Men movies. X2 is probably my favorite. But what is the deal with the new film and combining the two casts? I'm confused.

I'm happy that you feel that way, because I think some people are saying, "Ah, this just sounds like an excuse to get all these actors together and make an Avengers-style movie," but the truth is that it's a great script and Bryan is very ambitious to make the best movie of them all. He's got the biggest cast, the biggest budget, and he started it all, so it's his legacy. He's a fan of time-travel movies, and the detail that's gone into it is incredible. I'm quietly confident that it will be the biggest and the best of them all. When I sat there on that panel at Comic-Con, and looked down at all the actors, you think, "This might be one of the best ensembles ever assembled"... Apart from Movie 43. [Laughs]

Are we going to see you and Fassbender throw down? You'd have my $15 right there.

It's fair to say we don't get on that well. I get sent back to the past and he has no idea who I am, but you can imagine Wolverine has a bit of fun with that.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for release on May 23, 2014.
