Chris Claremont will be doing "a little consultation" for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The veteran writer will also be returning to comics for a special to celebrate X-Men's 50th anniversary.

Claremont was asked about his impressions of the 20th Century Fox film - which is based on his classic two-issue storyline - by MTV Geek.

"Of all the arcs that I wrote, that's probably the most popular with fans," he said. "I've been asked to kind of, maybe be around for a little consultation. I won't have a lot of input at all, but it's nice that they asked.

"I'm looking forward to seeing it on screen. It was fun to write, and fun to see what John Byrne and Terry Austin did, and now we get to see what it's like on the big screen. So it will be fun."

He has also been solicited for Marvel Comics' X-Men: Gold anniversary issue.

He will write an "untold story of the X-Men" with artist Bob McLeod. Stan Lee, Louise Simonson, Fabian Nicieza and Walter Simonson will also be contributing to the issue.

Claremont previously claimed to have been "instrumental" in getting Fox to persevere with its X-Men franchise.

Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past will arrive in UK cinemas on May 22, 2014 and the US on May 23.
