X-Men: Days of Future Past costume illustrator Phillip Boutte Jr reveals his early costume designs for the sequel with Concept Art World. You can see different early takes on new additions Blink, Warpath and Bishop along with designs for Professor X, Magneto and Storm.

 

The one reveal that might make some fans sigh is Jubilee – who didn’t appear in the film.

 

As you’ll see most of his designs remained the same but others were very different. In fact, the early Blink look was closer to her comic book roots in Generation X.

Quicksilver (Evan Peters) was a scene stealing smash in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The super fast mutant was recruited by Wolverine and Professor X to break Magneto out of prison in what might be the coolest scene in an X-movie since Nightcrawler’s White House attack.

 

In the comics Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Pietro and Wanda) are children of Magneto but left his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to become Avengers. Fans got their first look at the twins (Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Elizabeth Olsen of Godzilla) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and we’ll learn just how they differ from their comic book counterparts in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Back to Fox’s X-Men, Quicksilver dropped a line hinting that he may be the son of Magneto. In the film’s final moments Peter was holding a little girl – a sister perhaps? Continue reading POLARIS for X-MEN Movies?

The Sentinels were as chilling and relentless as longtime X-fans expected them to be in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

 

Director Bryan Singer and the X-Team showed us the original Sentinels as created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and the adaptable versions of the future. In an unique twist from comics lore, Trask used the shapeshifting genes of Mystique in order to make the robots adapt to any prey’s powers.

 

X-Men Apocalypse is the next movie in which the immortal first mutant will appear be the villain but is Team Fox X-Men finished with the Sentinels? Continue reading SENTINELS of X-MEN FUTURE?

Of all the Marvel heroes who would have thought Quicksilver would be the co-star of two major movie franchises and the eye of storm among fans.

 

Shortly after Joss Whedon revealed Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) would appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron…fans learned Quicksilver (Evan Peters) would be in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

 

The twins are the children of Magneto who first appeared in the X-Men comics but later reformed and became Avengers so both Marvel Studios and Fox can use them.

 

Both versions of Quicksilver will differ from his comic book origins. X-Men Producer/writer Simon Kinberg says they had not anticipated the mixed fan reaction to having the mutant speedster in the sequel Continue reading QUICKSILVER CONTROVERSY In X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
