Director Bryan Singer shared a photo op with the X-Men’s most relentless enemy! The director tweeted this pic of a Sentinel from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past. This shows just how big the mutant hunting robots will be in the sequel.

 

On the new Trask Industries website (a viral site for the fictional company in the film that manufactures the robots) the stats show the specs for the mutant hunting enemies but this pic really shows perspective.

 

The bigger they are…they harder they crash when Colossus and Wolverine launch a fastball special! Let’s hope we get to see Hugh Jackman and Daniel Cudmore execute that classic move next year.

The Oscar winning golden girl is back in blue as Mystique in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as the shapeshifting mutant who shift loyalties from Professor X to Magneto in X-Men: First Class.

 

From this shot Raven is as agile as ever using her entire body as a weapon. Looks like Lawrence is using some of the skills she developed dancing in Silver Linings Playbook.

 

Director Bryan Singer shared (via Twitter) this shot of the shapeshifter getting a leg up on her victim. In the classic Chris Claremont story in which the film is based, Mystique (Raven Darkholme) is the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The X-Men must prevent the assassination of a Senator which will lead to a dark, dystopian future ruled by Sentinels. The giant, mutant hunting robots are the products of Trask Industries.

 

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May, 2014.
