Days of the Future Past is one of the most iconic and influential arcs in X-Men history. In two issues Chris Claremont and John Byrne took us to a dark future in which mutants were hunted, caged or killed by giant Sentinel robots.

An adult Kitty Pryde (with the psionic help of Rachel Summers) went back in time to prevent the assassination that would lead to this nightmare future.

But what if?

Years of Future Past by Marguerite Bennett and Mike Norton shows us a very different future in this upcoming Secret Wars book. Continue reading KITTY PRYDE Leads X-MEN YEARS OF FUTURE PAST

What might have been: Two Wolverines in X-Men: Days of Future Past?

X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn exited the follow up to direct Kingsman: The Secret Service. Bryan Singer returned to the X-franchise and the rest is future history.

While promoting the new spy film Vaughn reveals his plans for the X-Men sequel in which Logan went into the past to change the mutants future.

“I had a whole different idea of how X-Men should go. I thought ‘Days of Future Past’ should be the next one and be set in the ’80s. So, when I wrote the treatment, I then wrote Kingsman and got confused about which film I should direct next. Continue reading TWO WOLVERINES In X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST?

Spoiler Warning:

 

This story contains plot details of X-Men: Days of Future Past so you may not want to continue reading if you have not seen the new film.

 

Is this the cinematic end of Miss Emma Frost?

 

Emma appeared briefly in X-Men: Origins: Wolverine as the captured sister of Kayla (aka Silver Fox) played by Lynn Collins. We can assume it was Emma since she was icy blonde and could transform into diamond. The infamous Emma Frost of the Hellfire Club era was played by January Jones in X-Men: First Class. This was absolutely the telepath who could transform into diamond and was the lover of Sebastian Shaw.

 

In X-Men: Days of Future Past Mystique learns that Emma died as a prisoner of Bolivar Trask along with some other characters from First Class.

 

Does that mean, “No More Emma” in future X-Men movies? Continue reading X-MEN: EMMA FROST OF FUTURE PAST

Anna Paquin reprised her role as Rogue in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Then came rumors the fan-favorite mutant was cut from the film and now she may have a cameo.

 

Producer Simon Kinberg took questions at WonderCon this past weekend about the upcoming film. Kinberg tells CraveOnline about the Rogue storyline that might have been:

 

“It’s kind of a hard question. We shot with Anna [Paquin] a big subplot in the movie and we watched it in the movie and then we cut it out of the movie because, she’s great in it and it was well shot, it just didn’t fit the film. Continue reading X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Producer On ROGUE Role
