James McAvoy Talks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Only thing good about First Class was Magneto actually using his powers and really destroying stuff and people with em.
We'll see how this goes...

Can it with the first class is bad insults, it's pathetic. Its critically regarded as fantastic.

Yes a movie can be really good even when mostly disregarding it's source material. It's no shocker.

First Class was great, better than 80% of Cbm today At least. Tied with iron man id say.

loved 1st class, top 5 cbm's to date. and fucc yeah, can't wait to see some purple mutant killing giant robots.

I am looking forward to this movie SO GODDAMN MUCH. Seriously, this is gonna be the biggest film in 2014 for me-- especially since the only competition it seems to be facing is Captain America 2 (a VERY close second) and Guardians of the Galaxy (a solid "I don't care" until I actually watch the damn thing).

(And no DC movies at all, naturally-- which would usually be my big "OMG I can't wait!" pick, since I'm a huge DC fan. Seriously, Warner Bros., it's f%$#ing embarrassing that you can't keep up with Marvel Studios when you've had a good THIRTY YEARS to develop movies for your characters.)

But this sounds like it could very well be the greatest of the X-Men movies, what with cast members from BOTH timelines and the potential for a Sentinel-filled future. As long as Bryan Singer can bring the quality he managed for the first two movies, and steer away from the sub-par kind of stuff he's been doing lately, this could well be AWESOME.

Since they seem so keen on connecting this prequel franchise with the original trilogy by bringing back the original cast, then how are they going to explain the fact that he was paralyzed in First Class, yet was walking in the beginning of X3? I had previously thought they planned to disregard X3 altogether and only hold the first two movies in canon like Superman Returns with the first two Superman films, but The Wolverine seems to have direct ties to X3 by picking up after the events in that movie.

I'm assuming the events of DOFP will take place after First Class, so I fail to see how the time travel could fix this issue. Someone would have to travel to before the time Xavier were paralyzed, prevent that from happening, only to then have him paralyzed again at some other point in the series so that he eventually does end up in the wheelchair in the OG trilogy. All because Matthew Vaughn jumped the gun on when/how Xavier gets paralyzed.

The only way I could see the issue being fixed, is if Xavier were to undergo an operation that restores the use of his legs for awhile, but slowly they degenerate over time to the point where he can no longer walk again. That could explain why he's able to walk in the opening flashback of X3, yet ends up in the wheelchair again in the first two films.

This franchise is just as screwed up as the comics continuity.

As a comic book fan, first class was entertainment, not right at all but entertained me if i just kept thinking it wasnt wolverine orgines and another fox movie. How that team was the first xmen team is terrible but i was entertained none the less. I borrowed the movie from a friend cause watching it in theaters was a no for me, hell downloading it was a no for me. Deadpool in wolverine orgines killed downloading fox movies. I bought for my wife to watch, cause she wanted to see it, on black Friday for 4 bucks at walmart. Ive just givin up on fox movies. They dont care about the comics and focus purely on the money. The next one might entertain u but some a-hole at ur work will tell u how much? he knows about the x-men and quote garbage from that movie. It still happens to me from the first
one...and x3s Phoenix saga :(

source material, schmourse material.
A good movie's a good movie, regardless of how it follows the material. Since the material's already laid the foundations and mapped out a general framework of a property, it's safe to follow it, but not impossible to make a great [frick]ing movie that moves away from it.

But why am i arguing, you guys would rather see a roided up gorilla in a luchador mask as bane or a BDSM slut as catwoman.

ITS MOVIES..THEY CARE ABOUT MONEY AND FLASH, NOT SOURCE MATERIAL. SOME DIRECTORS FIGHT TO KEEP IT NEAR SOURCE........BUT ITS FOX PEOPLE. ITS FOX.

They already said that First class and the Wolverine are basicly year 1 for the X movies. The continuity is going to be jacked up no matter what simply because they strayed so far from the source. Im not one that needs it to be watchmen faithful but there really should be some source material structure. Theres a reason these storys and characters have been around for so long. If they want to tell an original story thats great but damn make it a good one. Ive said many times im a huge xfan and i havent loved any of the movies yet. I have high hopes but low expectations for DFP. I wish Joss was in charge, how great would the Breakworld story be as a movie? Age of Apocolipse is to much to hope for. And Cable. They suck now that i think about it. And for the love of god can we get an actor with some testosterone to play Cyclops.

Ha ha, James McAvoy has a great sense of humor.

And yes! Bring on the Sentinels!

Very excited for Days of Future Past!

Just for the sake of Odin, keep Remy Lebeau and Anna Marie the hell away from it, please.

Lets just say nothing, well maybe MARVEL STUDIOS

: P

Did not care for First Class at all except for Fassbender, but even he couldnt hold the movie together. McAvoy was ok, but wow, everybody and everything else was so bad.

Boycott FOX & SONY for life.

I bet Cerebro causes a sort of electrolysis that makes his hair fall out.

@Intruder - they will probably be even shorter than that. Same height as an average person. And if they decide to do Master Mold, it will probably be a purple cloud, thus connecting X-Men to FF.

can i just ask why when fox doesn't follow the source material geeks freak, when marvel does it? well thats no problem!

marvel studios has not adhered to source material, sorry kids. 100% faithful films will never or should never exist. whats the point? making a worthy companion piece, now wer're talkin'!

people don't like the fox x-men because it has gotten to the point where the characters don't seem to be their comic book counterparts. those arguments are valid. saying it not like the comic, it sucks! - just makes you look stupid.

i hate when someone tells me that iron man was like the comic. lets go read iron man #200

Palpable sense of humor? I don't remember laughing once while watching the movie and I definitely won't be watching it again.

People dont understand that these movies dont try to be 100% like the comics, becuase what kind of story will tell us? I mean, i dont want to go to the cinema knowing the plot, i want see something new and first class is an example of that.

A movie carrying a sense of humor doesn't necessarily mean it intends to make you laugh. But rather give a feeling of levity to what, as the other films have well established, a very serious matter that can possibly end(and did) in life or death situations(Magneto wanting to turn the missile attack around to the ships that fired them).

The movie was about young people finally finding others like themselves and making the most of it. I think McAvoy is intelligent enough to know the difference between maintaining a tone and getting a laugh.
