Hugh Jackman as wolverine was the reason for success of X-Men Origins;wolverine.Teenage CYclops are what was Teenage Emma Fross at the time were Intended to set up the original Idea for X-Men First Class.Gambit was Included to get him Into the franchise and possably setup a solo film.Same as with Deadpool.Jackman as Wolverine
and origin of the character Is what sold the film to General public.Don't forget It might have hit 200 Million domesticly If not for the leak.
despite all negative reviews Wolverine without adjusting for Infliration still beat Captain America's domestic gross and without adjusting for Infliration Thor just barely top wolverine's gross domesticly and that was because of 3-d.
Jackman as wolverine would defently bring more attention and Increases the box office total of Days of Future Past.
This film Is most likely combining Ideas Bryan Singer had for X4 with ideas he,Matthew Vaughn,and Simon Kinberg had for first Class sequel.Fox Is calling this the biggest X-Men film yet.What event could be bigger than Combining cast of trilogys together In One film based On classic X-Men storyline with Sentinles.
There are reason they are doing Days of future past as sequel to First Class.It can be huge event film.Combining casts will cause more to pay attention to this film.
Agreed on all accounts, and yes, despite abysmal reviews, Origins woulda made well past $200 Million had the leak never happened.
The fact that it made as much as Thor without IMAX/3D plus inflation and bad reviews is a testament to the box office appeal of Hugh Jackman.
