Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry are on the campaign trail for their new movie, and the action duo are hoping for another smash hit as they reprise their mutant hero roles in the last of the X-Men trilogy The Final Stand.
Sydney-born Hugh and gorgeous co-star Halle were snapped in Mexico City on Monday as they drummed up support for their film, due out on in the UK on May 25, with the next publicity stop at Cannes for the annual film festival. Fans of the hugely popular comic-book films will see Hugh reprise his role as Wolverine and Halle as Storm.
Together they face "the war to end all wars" as Professor Charles Xavier, played by Star Trekker Patrick Stewart, leads his X-Men in battle against the evil 'Brotherhood' run by Sir Ian McKellen's powerful Magneto. Other familiar faces to reappear in the sequel are the stunning Rebecca Romijin and Famke Janssen, while Frasier actor Kelsey Grammer joins the ensemble cast for the first time as Beast.
The action-packed flick is directed by Rush Hour's Brett Ratner who will be hoping for box office glory like his predecessor Bryan Singer, who jumped ship to direct Superman Returns. May is the month of the blockbuster with Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible III, disaster flick Poseidon, the much hyped Da Vinci Code and X-Men: The Last Stand all battling it out for ticket sales.
