Hugh Jackman will play Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past and is in talks for a third solo film as the fan-favorite X-Man.

Original Sin is about the begin but Marvel is already teasing the next big event series of 2014.
In the final moments of the Wolverine: Three Months to Die panel at Chicago Entertainment and Comic Expo – Marvel revealed AXIS coming this Fall.
The “A” is the Avengers logo and the “X” is the X-Men logo so what could it mean?
In the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men Marvel launched Uncanny Avengers by Rick Remender. Steve Rogers and Wolverine formed the Avengers Unity Squad by recruiting members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Children of the Atom in a way to heal the divide between the groups.
Planet X is the current and finale arc of Remember’s Uncanny Avengers epic. Remember could be bringing the series to a close and setting up for a relaunch.
The reborn Red Skull (armed with Professor Xavier’s mutant brain) was the villain of the first arc of Uncanny Avengers. AXIS could refer to the aftermath and future plots of the former Nazi scientist.
