Hugh Jackman says he feels 'lucky' to be able to reunite with Bryan Singer for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Jackman is set to reprise the role of Wolverine for the new X-Men film; fourteen years after he played the character for the first time in X-Men.
And while Jackman was looking forward to working with the filmmaker for the third time, he was also impressed by working with a new and young cast.
Speaking to Collider, the actor said: "I feel so lucky that 14 years later I’m back working with Bryan and all that old... I shouldn’t say old, but the older crew, me too, but also this young cast who I am just so impressed with, in every way.
"Not just as great actors, but it’s definitely that Bryan and I are walking into their atmosphere, there’s no doubt, obviously that a lot of the film takes place in the past and I’d say a good 60% of it plays there, and it is a sequel to First Class.
"And they created such a strong bond, and we had such a strong bond that I thought, ‘I wonder how this is going to work out?’
"Because all of us coming back together for the third time or fourth time playing, it’s been amazing and I’m really impressed with them. It’s like two great movies in one."
Days of Future Past sees Jackman reunite with the likes of Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry - back together for the first time since X-Men: Last Stand.
This film mixes stars from the original trilogy with X-Men: First Class, and so Jackman also got to work with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence.
With his role in Days of Future Past, Jackman is the only actor to have appeared in all the X-Men movies; X-Men, X2, X-Men: Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class and The Wolverine.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is released 22nd May.
