Director Bryan Singer chatted with fans via Twitter ahead of tomorrow’s trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Here are the 3 big highlights.

 

The huge cast will include new mutants in their cinematic debut. Bishop, Quicksilver and Blink have previously been confirmed. But today Singer said Warpath, Sunspot and Ink will appear in the film.

 

“Although there is a great deal of humor, the overall tone is a bit darker than previous films, particularly because of the stakes,” Singer said of the film uniting the cast of First Class and the first trilogy. Continue reading Bryan Singer on X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

The battle begins this Wednesday!  For the X-Men’s 50th Anniversary Marvel is using a tried and true formula to celebrate the mutants. X-Men history is packed with time travel tales but X-Men: Battle of the Atom appears to be an epic in the making with daring new twists on concept.

 

When Brian Michael Bendis launched All-New X-Men, Beast brought Professor Xavier’s original five students into the present in order to stop Scott’s mutant revolution. Now X-Men from the future arrive in the present on a mission to force the past X-Men to go back.

 

 

Here’s a look inside X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1 by Bendis and Frank Cho. As you’ll see it’s not just X-Men from past, present and future but Sentinels from various eras are fighting the Children of the Atom: Continue reading Inside X-MEN BATTLE OF THE ATOM #1

Director Bryan Singer shared a photo op with the X-Men’s most relentless enemy! The director tweeted this pic of a Sentinel from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past. This shows just how big the mutant hunting robots will be in the sequel.

 

On the new Trask Industries website (a viral site for the fictional company in the film that manufactures the robots) the stats show the specs for the mutant hunting enemies but this pic really shows perspective.

 

The bigger they are…they harder they crash when Colossus and Wolverine launch a fastball special! Let’s hope we get to see Hugh Jackman and Daniel Cudmore execute that classic move next year.

The Oscar winning golden girl is back in blue as Mystique in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as the shapeshifting mutant who shift loyalties from Professor X to Magneto in X-Men: First Class.

 

From this shot Raven is as agile as ever using her entire body as a weapon. Looks like Lawrence is using some of the skills she developed dancing in Silver Linings Playbook.

 

Director Bryan Singer shared (via Twitter) this shot of the shapeshifter getting a leg up on her victim. In the classic Chris Claremont story in which the film is based, Mystique (Raven Darkholme) is the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The X-Men must prevent the assassination of a Senator which will lead to a dark, dystopian future ruled by Sentinels. The giant, mutant hunting robots are the products of Trask Industries.

 

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May, 2014.
