Earlier today, we brought you a rumor that hit the internet about a Facebook status message from a cab driver in Georgia that seemed to indicate that Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine could make an appearance in Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming film, X-Men: First Class.

CBM initially reported the rumor, based on a status message that read:

“I drove Hugh Jackman from X-Men To the Airport this morning. They are filming on Jekyll…Cool guy!”

Now, speaking with The Coventry Telegraph, Singer has insisted that X-Men: First Class has not even begun shooting on Jekyll Island, and if Jackman was in-fact in Georgia, he didn’t know about it. Singer also took the opportunity to drop some info on First Class.

Singer said,

“{Hugh Jackman) is not in the movie, he’s in the Wolverine movies. X-Men hasn’t started shooting in Georgia yet and if Hugh was in Georgia, it wasn’t for this movie. It’s about how Xavier – if you know the X-Men universe – how Professor Xavier and Magneto kind of met and became friends and how that friendship turned into something else. It takes place in the early 60s and it incorporates some characters I was able to bring back in time that are familiar, as well as some new characters, new mutants. Also, there’s a new villain component, a really cool villain and villain group. It’s a really cool and fun story. It will be the first Silver Age Marvel movie. We’ve set First Class in a time when the X-Men were conceived in the early 60s, up against political events that were happening – the early civil rights movement – and we have these kinds of events at a time when the world didn’t know mutants existed.”

The film stars James McAvoy, Kevin Bacon, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemyng, January Jones, Zoë Kravitz, Bill Milner, Michael Fassbender, Álex González and Oliver Platt.

X-Men: First Class is slated to hit theaters on June 3rd, 2011.
