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.

Dazzler…as you’ve never seen her before!
One of the many elements I loved about Brian Michael Bendis on Avengers is how he took forgotten favorites (Luke Cage, Jessica Drew) and breathed new life into these characters with exciting new roles for them.
Bendis has recruited Dazzler as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Yes, the disco singer is the new mutant liaison for the world’s biggest spy agency.
Uncanny X-Men #9 picks up with Agent Alison Blaire at the home of new mutant dropout Fabio Medina. After joining Cyclops’s new school and literally going to hell Fabio wants a normal life. Bendis and Chris Bachalo orchestrate a tense tug of war between SHIELD and the X-Men over custody of Medina.
I really loved how Bendis wrote Ali as strong, smart and witty. There’s a great demonstration of Ali’s power with a nod to her disco diva past. She’s always has great potential. Remember when she was up against Juggernaut (her number one fan?) and she was wearing a headband?
Uncanny X-Men #9 is the latest fun chapter by Bendis that winks at the past while making the mutants exciting and new.
