LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Australian actor Hugh Jackman is in talks to reunite with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen for another "X-Men" sequel, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Bryan Singer's superhero ensemble film "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will also star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult, who headlined the prequel "X-Men: The First Class."

The time-jumping new film will be a sequel to "X-Men: First Class," but will feature actors from the first "X-Men" trilogy of blockbuster movies, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.

Jackman played Wolverine in the three original "X-Men" movies, as well as "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and its upcoming sequel "The Wolverine."
