Far out X-Man!

Director Bryan Singer just revealed a shot of Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Jackman on the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past via Twitter.

Hoult and Jackman are looking 1970’s groovy as Henry McCoy (aka Beast) and Wolverine.

Singer accompanied this pic with “welcome to 1973!”

Looks like Beast will have created the image-inducer to hide his mutated appearance?

Wolverine is an X-Man, an Avenger, a Headmaster. Logan may have a reputation as a loner but this hero may actually be a super “people” person. Paul Cornell explains how Logan’s friends and allies will play a role as the series moves forward:

“He likes people. He’s actually a very strange creature. He chooses to keep himself grounded and involved with human beings, to be both an effectively immortal mutant with additional military implants, and this guy who likes bars and beer,” Cornell tells Marvel.com,
