Peter Dinklage is a new addition to the movie mutant universe in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The Game of Thrones star is sporting a wicked mustache in this shot from director Bryan Singer via Twitter.

Dinklage has that 1970’s stache because the film is set partly in 1973 as seen in this Twitter photo of Hugh Jackman and Nicholas Hoult from Singer.

That serious stache Continue reading Peter Dinklage’s New Look for X-MEN: Days of Future Past

The book stars Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey, Psylocke and Jubilee. Storm assembles this team when Jubilee comes back to the school with an orphan with mysterious potential. One of the mutants’ old enemies arrives asking for help from a bigger threat.

Wood and Lopez were an incredible team on the last volume of X-Men. This creative team delivered the BEST depiction of Storm in decades. I’ve been a huge Terry Dodson fan for years – you may best remember his Uncanny X-Men run with Matt Fraction.

X-Men #1 arrives May 29th.

Hoult and Jackman are looking 1970’s groovy as Henry McCoy (aka Beast) and Wolverine.

Singer accompanied this pic with “welcome to 1973!”

Looks like Beast will have created the image-inducer to hide his mutated appearance?

The new film is set in the 1970’s and an dark future ruled by Sentinels. No word on if McAvoy and Stewart will appear in scenes together.
