Bryan Singer says there will be a darker edge to X-Men: Days of Future Past, compared the other films in the franchise.
Singer returns to direct an X-Men film for the first time since the success of X-2 as characters from the two franchises are set to collide.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is the sequel to X-Men: First Class but will feature much loved characters from the first series.
And while there is a darker feel to this film, Singer says the humour is still present.
During a Twitter chat he said: "Though there is a great deal of humour, the overall tone is a bit darker than previous films, particularly because of the stakes..."
James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will all be reprising their roles from First Class, while the likes of Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart are all also on board.
Singer went on to talk about the cast saying: "I was real comfortable with the original cast and knew the #FirstClass cast as a writer/producer but not yet as a director. With the exception of @NicholasHoult [Beast] of course - but they were all fantastic and made the experience fun."
X-Men: Days of Future Past is released 22nd May 2014.
