HOLY BALLS.
That was my initial reaction to this newest trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past. The first trailer did a good job of showcasing the characters involved, this is the trailer that goes all out and shows why I am excited Bryan Singer is back with the X-Men franchise.
It almost made me forget how Quicksilver looked in those photos. That is a good trailer.
X-Men: Days of Future Past releases on May 23rd.
X-Men: Days of Future Past does not release until May 23, 2014 but Bryan Singer dropped a bomb on Twitter revealing the next X movie announcing that X-Men: Apocalypse will release in 2016.
Looks like Days of Future’s Past is going to be the beginning of something bigger if this tweet does indeed confirm that Apocalypse will be coming to the X universe in 2016. When you were growing up reading comics did you ever, truly think that we would ever get a movie based on Days of Future Past or actually have Apocalypse on screen?
One would assume the film would be based on the Age of Apocalypse storyline which had Professor X’s son Legion travel back in time to kill Magneto but kills Xavier instead. This creates an alternate timeline where Magneto takes up his friends crusade of peace. This is when Apocalypse chooses to take over the world.
#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016!

Both versions of Professor X and Magneto are featured in the first posters for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future’s Past. The all-star X-Men movie is based off of Chris Claremont’s classic story and will include almost every X-Men member from the four previous movies (no, I am not counting X-Men Origins: Wolverine).
X-Men: Days of Future’s Past releases on May 23, 2014.
Bryan Singer, you magnificent bastard! I love you as much as I love fried foods and that is saying a hell of a lot.
The director sent out a Vine video on his Twitter of cast chairs on the set of X-Men: Days of Future’s Past and this beauty was in there.
Now I was already looking forward to DOFP, but now this is getting damn ridiculous. Also among the chairs shown was one for Warpath, which means this cast is getting insane in how awesome it is. I swear to almighty God if they announce Cable is in this I am going to lose my damn mind and may even pee my pants some.
Actor Omar Sy was cast in an unspecified role in early March and it seems to be that it was for the role of Bishop. Wear the M proudly!
X-Men: Days of Future’s Past releases July 18, 2014.
So as if I wasn’t already excited enough for Bryan Singer’s return to the X-Men franchise, today brings this bit of information. Singer has brought on Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage for a role in X-Men:First Class. Rumors abound that he will play Puck, a member of the Alpha Flight team. For those unfamiliar, Alpha Flight is Canada’s version of The Avengers which included member like Northstar and Sasquatch.
Of course these are all just rumors and there are any number of characters that Dinklage could be in line to play. If the Puck rumor does pan out it would certainly seem like Mark Millar is hard at work in his new job to try and expand 20th Century Fox’s Marvel universe.
X-Men: Days of Future’s Past releases on July 18, 2014 and stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Peter effing Dinklage.
UPDATE!!!
Reports are now confirming that Dinklage is being cast to play a villain in the First Class sequel, so the dreams of Puck fans everywhere may be thwarted. Sorry Canada.
So can we now officially say that Bryan Singer is making the biggest X-Men movie ever? The director already has the returning cast of X-Men: First Class, including Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence as well as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles. Singer has just announced that three more X-movie alumni are returning for X-Men: Days of Future’s Past.
Ellen Page, Anna Paquin and Shawn Ashmore will be donning their suits once again as Kitty Pryde, Rogue and Iceman. All we need now is for Tyler Mane and Liev Schreiber to have a celebrity deathmatch to see which one gets to play Sabretooth and let’s not forget that Vinnie Jones is only a phone call away to play Juggernaut again.
X-Men: Days of Future’s Past is based on Chris Claremont’s legendary 1981 story where the X-Men have to stop a future event from happening that causes mutants to be kept prisoners in a dystopian future. It is set for release on July 18, 2014.
Well now it seems like X-Men: Days of Future’s Past is becoming the biggest movie the franchise has ever attempted. News is today that Hugh Jackman is now in talks to play Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s follow-up to 2011’s X-Men: First Class. Jackman had a small (and hilarious) cameo in the movie and looks to be ready to join the X-team once again.
Filming is already done on The Wolverine which will see Jackman’s Logan make his way to Japan and has some quality beat em up time with the likes of Viper and Silver Samurai. Oddly enough the Wolverine/Japan storyline was written by Chris Claremont, who is the well at which the X-Men movie franchise drinks from. Not only is The Wolverine and Days of Future’s Past based on his comics but X2 is loosely based off of his graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills.
Yesterday came the news that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan were returning as Professor X and Magneto, now it seems like Days of Future’s Past is more than just a follow-up to First Class but a full blown prequel/sequel to every X movie out there.
The Wolverine releases on July 26, 2013 and X-Men: Days of Future’s Past will arrive on July 18, 2014.
Director Bryan Singer tweeted some welcome news yesterday and confirmed that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan were both returning to the X-Men franchise as Professor X and Magneto respectively.
Thrilled to announce @ianmckellen118 & @sirpatstew are joining the cast of #XMEN #DaysOfFuturePast #magneto #professorX More to come…

While many thought this would happen with the newest X-Men flick being based on Chris Claremont’s classic Days of Future’s Past story it is good to see the director of the first two X-Men flicks get part of the band back together for the movie.
So not only do you have James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender returning but now Stewart and McKellan as well as Singer back directing. How can this possibly not be awesome?
