X-Men: Days Of Future Past director Bryan Singer announced new castmembers of the film via Twitter by posting a picture of the cast’s headshots. He summed up the picture as, “3 Oscars, 6 GoldenGlobes, 1 BAFTA, 2 Emmys, 2 Tonys, 5 Oliviers, 1 Ceaser – Now let’s blow s**t up!”
The newly-signed castmembers are Daniel Cudmore (who is returning as Colossus), Booboo Stewart (who is shirtless in 90% of his Google image search results, FYI), and Iron Man 3‘s Fan Bingbing, a huge box office draw in her native China. Bingbing will be playing Blink, a teleporting mutant, which may explain why fellow teleporters Nightcrawler and Azazel are reportedly not returning for X-Men: Days Of Future Past.
Here’s the picture Singer tweeted (full size here).

Pictured (from left to right), Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage (playing an unknown antagonist, possibly Bolivar Trask), Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Omar Sy (playing an unannounced character), Anna Paquin, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing, and Booboo Stewart (playing an unannounced character).
Yes, two of the newest castmembers are named Bingbing and Booboo. Somewhere, Brian Benben is anxiously awaiting a phone call.

Awesome, we’re still paying money to take someone named Booboo seriously.
HOLD THE EFF UP.
Blink was my faaaaaavorite in the AoA universe. Are they using that version? Or something like her? If they are, I am excited.
It does funny things to my heart rate when you talk like that Patty.
Exiles Blink please.
I was about to call him on the Oscar count (I counted 4) then I realized McKellen lost both his Oscar bids. Stupid academy.
I thought Nightcrawler was coming back, didn’t Alan Cumming say as much?
McAvoy said in an interview that he thought Nightcrawler would return, then Cumming said that was news to him.
Aaah ok. Blink is still a great choice though, like Patty said I hope this will incorporate some Age of Apocalypse stuff.
I am curious as to why Azazel isn’t returning too.
Colossus was legit in X2, nevermind the accent. Disappointing it was basically a cameo.
Bingbing from the last Resident Evil flick?
So…is the spacing intentional? Are there six more cast members to come?
I’m really just holding out hope Gambit finds his way back. Bryan Singer wanted to try and work him into X2 originally.
It does seem to me like those spots are being purposefully left blank. Either because the parts have yet to be cast or because they reveals significant spoilers such as Cyclops and Jean being alive. I’m not saying they are, but something along those lines.
