X-Men: Days of Future Past

Now HERE's something to get excited about

The sequel to X-Men: First Class has a full title, and anyone even passingly familiar with the X-Men comic mythos will recognize it as one of the most interesting and exciting storylines from Chris Claremont's epic run on the series, and one which forever changed the tone and tenor of the title. It's influence cannot be overstated and it's obviously still being felt today. I cannot WAIT to see this on film.

Yeah baby! Will we see....this?????

Probably not, but alternate X-Men future stuff? So much potential.

THE epic X-Men comic book storyline. I hope they do it justice!

Awesome news! I can still remembering reading that series of comics when they first came out so many years ago.

What blows me away is how these two issues in a long running comic series changed the direction and future of the book forever, some could argue even the whole Marvel Universe was influenced by it.

I still have those original issues too - in bags in my collection. :)

Jobydrone · August 04, 2012, 04:34:13 PM

They're worth some cash Rico.

ChrisMC · August 04, 2012, 05:41:53 PM

I have them as well. Not in mint condition, but still. They're the ones I read from way back when. I must've read these issues like 20 times.

Jobydrone · August 05, 2012, 07:00:10 AM

I had them too but like Chris read them over and over again and eventually sold them along with the vast majority of my comics collection (except for my entire run of Cerebus) like 15 years ago

I have been watching the X-men movies and the extras on the Blu-rays. So far watched First Class and X-Men and most of the extras on the First Class disc. So I'm ready for a new one. Is it to early for a release date?

2014 is what was announced. There's a bunch of casting rumors, including Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman. The potential with this story is super exciting.

Although it should come as no big surprise, especially in light of yesterday's news, The Hollywood Reporter has now confirmed that Hugh Jackman is in talks to reprise his role as Wolverine in director Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Jackman would join a cast that has been confirmed to include James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

Scheduled for release on July 18, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past boasts a script by Simon Kinberg and is said to be inspired Chris Claremont and John Byrne's comic book storyline that ran in Uncanny X-Men #141 and 142 back in 1981. "Days of Future Past" introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

In addition to playing a key role in the comic book version of the story, Wolverine has appeared in every live-action X-Men film to date and will star in his second solo adventure with the July 26 release The Wolverine.

Yeah, this one's on my radar. I'm a big fan of the original 2-part story from way back when. Now that they've added Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, and Shawn Ashmore....pretty cool. Kitty Pryde was THE lynchpin in that story, and I'm interested in how they merge the 60's storyline and the post X3 universe. Now that Bryan Singer is returning to the X-movies, I'm feeling like this is gonna be pretty damn cool. Loved First Class, and X2 was the pinnacle of superhero movies for its time. Can't wait!
