Ellen Page reprises her role as Kitty Pryde in X-Men Days of Future Past.

 

Page played Kitty in X-Men The Last Stand under director Brett Ratner. What’s is like to return to the Children of the Atom with a new director (Bryan Singer.)

 

“That’s sort of the wonder and mystery of making a movie, you know? Maybe because the first one was so long ago, maybe because it was like an eight-year difference, but it didn’t feel like there needed to be an adjustment period.

Wolverine, Rogue and Kitty Pryde investigate the emergence of new mutants and murder in small town in Marvel Knights: X-Men by Brahm Revel. The writer tells Marvel.com why these mutant heroes made the cut for his 5-part limited series:

And as I said above, this is a story about how the past can come back to haunt you, so Wolverine made sense because he is a character with a checkered past. He’s a killer and has rage issues, yet he still identifies himself as a good guy. At a certain point he has to reconcile these two opposing identities. Continue reading Meet the Marvel Knights X-Men
