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?

How can Logan defeat an enemy he can’t punch, hack or slash? Writer Paul Cornell and artist Alan David kicked off Wolverine’s new solo book with a deadly trail of alien carnage ripping through New York City in the first two issues.
