Lucas Till returns as Havok in X-Men: Days of Future Past but which side is Alex Summers on in the sequel?
“Ambiguity is his thing. The ambiguity comes from a place of being a liability. He can’t control his power. He famously can’t control his power for a lot of his arc,” he told iamROGUE.
“That’s the reason he is never on the good side, because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but he’s never really been a bad guy. Or he has been but it was sort of Machiavellian, it was a ploy to get on the bad side and undermine them.
“I think Havok always has a good heart. But he’s definitely not playing for any team necessarily in this one.”
A previous shot shows Alex in military gear suggesting the mutant is fighting in the Vietnam War since the film is set in the early 1970’s.
Havok is currently leader of Uncanny Avengers and recently met a younger version of his brother, Cyclops, in the pages of All-New X-Men and his nephew, Cable, in Cable and X-Force.
Looks like Havok’s great love Polaris is not going to make it into the movie but Peter David will explore Lorna Dane’s sibling rivalry with Pietro Maximoff in next week’s X-Factor #260.
