I thought I had it all figured out. Judging by the wardrobe tests Bryan Singer has tweeted out, it seemed like production on "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was starting with the future/modern day X-Men. The costumes are all fairly post-apocalyptic. But now the director has tweeted an image that throws that assumption out the window.
We just saw Professor X's 1973 look late last week, and now we have another peek at yesteryear. Only this time it shows off our first look at returning actor Nicholas Hoult as the Beast alongside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Ansari joked, "How come those Marvel guys can't draw some Indian dudes so I can show up in one of those movies?"
Regardless of how serious Ansari's desire is to fly alongside Iron Man, it got us wondering which Marvel characters he'd be a good fit for.

We came up with a few superhero roles we think Ansari would be perfect for.
