X-Men Days of Future Past: Complete Guide

I snipped a few interesting bits...

The 1973-set follow up Days of Future Past will see the X-Men of a dystopian future travel in time to change a major historical event that could globally impact on man and mutant kind.

Singer: "There are parts of X-Men 3… it isn’t what I would have done, but parts of it, I liked. Certain things are different. There was a lot going on in it and I wasn’t so happy with so many people dying, but then there were some really sweet moments with that kid, the cure kid," he told Bleeding Cool.

Returning as the young Charles Xavier is James McAvoy, whose priority for the sequel seems to be the mystery behind Professor X's hair loss. He told us earlier this year: "(screenwriter) Simon Kinberg and I came up with a whole bunch of ideas about how, why and where he might go bald. It’s got to be linked to the plot though.

Hope they're not serious about this bit.

McAvoy has indicated that the sense of humour in First Class may be toned down: "I thought the biggest thing that X-Men: First Class gave the franchise was a real palpable sense of humour that wasn’t just for a couple of moments," he said.

"It was running through the thing. And I hope that continues. I don’t know how easy it will be for me to be a part of that as my character’s going to be in a pretty fucked up place. It’s a shame because I like the fact that Charles Xavier was witty and funny and a bit of a lecherous old guy trapped in a 30-year-old’s body.

"It is going to be a film in which Charles has to go through a lot of heavy stuff; I think probably he'll pass through the crucible in this movie."

Singer has confirmed that the film will explore the moral conflict within Magneto, telling Digital Spy:

"Because I have both Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender in the picture, we'll deal with both sides of that point of view and it really explores the relationship between Xavier and Magneto and the evolution of that relationship - where it came from and where it's going."

Sir Ian has revealed that his incarnation of Magneto won't be wearing the character's famous helmet in the sequel, telling Twitter followers: "Why don't I need a helmet in "Days of Future Past"? That would be telling and I'm not allowed to."

As the purpose of the helmet is to protect Magneto from psychic attacks, is it safe to assume that he and Charles are on the same side in the future - for the time being at least?

I.Am.So.HYPED!!
 
Strange as it sounds First Class had this refreshing indie feel about it, despite its grand setting, I know there was some spectacle but the best parts were the relationship between Charles and Eric, and Charles trying to find the good in Eric, thats what sold the movie to me. Honestly the kids, the action sequences could go hang for all I care, I want to see more the fight for good and evil within and I dont think thats going to be present at all in the next film :(

Bad ass Charles ! xD
 
Guessing Charles is in a bad place?

I'm freaking excited. Bryan Singer and the good part of the cast of First Class?

I mean... yes Halle Berry is there, but the rest of the ensemble looks great.
 
im just sad cyclops is not in this
i know he died in X3 but thought they could still somehow include him - with all these time travel/alternate timeline
 
I can't believe they're going to do this story in one film. It's madness. I'm equal parts dreading and anticipating the film because of it,

...i think its like 2 issues of uncanny xmen , its not an overwhelming amt of material to cram in there....

Yea folks love to really gush over the story, but it was only 2 issues. The movie will easily fit the story and have room to stuff in extra stuff. Even in the comic there was lot of characters, most of which only said one or two lines. They got room to pad this out for a movie

I can't to see Brian Singer throw a hissyfit after this one bombs

All he needs is a commercial showing giant sentinels marching through a city in chaos and short clips of Charles and Magneto (past and present incarnations) and hype would ensue.
 
I had a dream Spider-man and Fantastic Four were referenced in this.

The latter I blame on Arrested Development.
