New ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Set Photo
Bryan Singer has unveiled yet another new image from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past and this one takes us inside the Oval Office during a “pivotal meeting.” It’s kind of boring without Nightcrawler, Bryan. Days of Future Past “will straddle the 1960s setting established in 2011’s X-Men: First Class and the future of the original trilogy, where mutants are a hunted minority.” James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Peter Dinklage and Ellen Page also star. X-Men: Days of Future Past opens July 18, 2014.
“The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future.”
