katikatBryan Singer teased the XMFC sequel with this quote: "As new species are formed through natural evolution, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most." Source.
Sir Patrick Stewart said about the XMFC sequel:
It sets my heart aflutter to hear him say "my dear friend" about Sir Ian McKellen. It's so cute!
Hugh Jackman talks about Wolverine and the XMFC sequel: source. I didn't know he was such good friends with Russell Crowe. Interesting. But I hope his bit in the XMFC sequel will be kept at minimum. There are enough movies that focus on his character already.
Sir Ian McKellen talks about Michael Fassbender's stint as Magneto:
Not exactly X-Men related but - James McAvoy won't star in the Julian Assange movie with Benedict Cumberbatch after all. He had to drop out because of a scheduling conflict with XMFC: source.
Sir Patrick Stewart said about the XMFC sequel:
Bryan let the cat out of the bag on Twitter, and it included announcing that Sir Ian and myself were going to be in this movie. We are, you know, under contractual oath with 20th Century Fox to say nothing about any prospective X-Men movie including the old team. I use “old” advisedly.
So it’s a kind of awkward position, because lovely Bryan Singer just blurted it all out there. For me the big thrill is knowing that Bryan Singer is attached to this movie, because not only is he a brilliant director, but also I adore him and hope that it might be true and that we do work together at some point in the future. But I’m not being coy. I know nothing about this project. And I’m hoping that might change in the future.
I have not signed a contract yet. I know there is a project in development, but we have no dates. No detailed casting. Thrilled to hear that my dear friend and colleague Ian McKellen is on board, but I’m sorry, you know, you need to understand, I’m not being cute. I know nothing.

Sir Ian McKellen talks about Michael Fassbender's stint as Magneto:
What did you think of Michael Fassbender as Magneto in "X-Men: First Class"?
Yeah! I thought he was exactly that: first class. Excellent.
You never thought, Hey, I've got my eye on you. That's my part.
[Laughs] No. No. I thought he was better than me. But, we weren't quite playing the same character because he was so much younger than me. And the scope of Magneto, one day a Jewish actor will play it. Clearly, he's Jewish. We first meet him in at Auschwitz and there's scope for all sorts of people to pay Magneto. But, I was just the lucky guy who got to play him first.
