The Cuban Missile Crisis was interweaved with the struggle for mutant rights in X-Men: First Class. The Cold War and spread of Communism will be part of the drama of X-Men Days of Future Past. Director Bryan Singer revealed two photos via Twitter from the set of the upcoming sequel that help set for tone for the setting – 1973.

The first picture shows an actor playing President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office with the caption “Pivotal meeting” and the second includes “GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!”

The “Pivotal meeting” could be real history or comic book history  – this could be the meeting in which the U.S. government initiates Project Wideawake and begins the creation of the Sentinels – mutant hunting robots!

X-Men Days of Future Past will take place in 1974 and in the near future and arrives in 2014.
