Bryan Singer Confirms X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; Teases Connectivity With Past Films

Talking to IGN Movies, Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-2) has confirmed that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class sequel will be called Days of Future Past. The title has been rumoured for a while now, but this is the first official word we've heard from someone involved with the sequel. Revealing that it will deal with, "aspects of that comic" it is based on, Singer seemingly hints that time travel will indeed play a role as he discusses an expanded universe and more connectivity between these prequels and the past X-Men movies. Does this mean that we'll see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine appear? How about the "Original Five" X-Men? Stay tuned for further details as we get ever closer to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past in July, 2014.




"I can say that it's being written right now and it will start shooting in a few months. It's going to be very ambitious; it's called Days of Future Past and it deals with aspects of that comic, but also some very new things. I don't want to give any of it away. Matthew Vaughn will be directing and I'm totally excited about it."

"I think there's a strong desire to broaden out the universe. I mean, the X-Men universe is every bit on its own as big as the Marvel universe. I think it's time to reach out and explore it and perhaps even bring some connectivity between the films as Marvel has done so well. You may seem some of that."

Rock on. First Class was great, loved the scene when Charles trains Magneto to move the big Satellite dish. Very well done.

Wait for the fan rage. Despite First Class being a great film so many people moaned that it wasn't identical to the comic...

Look forward to this even if I've not read the story it's based on, First Class was brilliant.

the X-men franchise is a hot mess. They should've done at least one true sequel to First Class to smooth out the continuity bumps before trying something this ambitious

Loving the trend Dark Knight started by having your sequels be unique titles rather than just X-Men First Class 2.

@sansClaymore As much as I hope to see Cable in the movies as he is one of my all time favorite Marvel characters they really need to develop Cyclops and Jean first. Cable's relevance is limited without the Cyclops and Jean characters being explored first. What I would really hope for would be some back story with Havok, Cyclops and Corsair first to establish a bit of that family aspect and then maybe move forward but given the timeline these movies are using it might be too early for Cable. But who knows..

Wolverine was a big part of that story. He'll have to have
somewhat of a big role, unfortunately...

If they pass First Class as a reboot to the franchise then it's fine. If not, the "connectivity" will make even less sense because of First Class already having MANY continuity problems. That being said-it was still awesome and i cant wait for this!

I'm getting a little bothered with Hugh as Wolverine simply because all of these new X-films are prequels. Prequels that predate the original film by 30 or 40 years. The problem is Hugh looks noticeably older now than he did back then. I won't buy that Wolverine is younger in Origins than he was in the 2000 film because Hugh looks 15 years older in the newer film.

If they continue making Wolverine movies, they really ought to make them sequels.

Sentinels? Please yes. That thing in X3 was by far the worst thing they did, to me.

id give anything to see Bishop or Cable in ANY x-men movie. love 90's Bishop with the mullet. the animated series did a great job with the story, this should be awesome. Lets just hope its not 2014's most error filled movie like first class was.

1st class is a great CBM one of the best for me and a great follow up for mattvaughn after KICKASS which i feel is in the top 10 CBM of all time easily...so this film could be TDK of this xmen universe even though X2 will be a really hard film to compare to only because x2 is in my CBM top 10 and no1 for a long time for me Before the second wave of CBM...so bring it on should be EPIC...MATT VAUGHN IS NO2 COMIC BOOK DIRECTOR FOR ME AND NO1 WE ALL KNOW

People need to forget about seeing the original first class appearing; Fox doesn't appear to be interested. There will obviously be major changes from the comics given characters that were in the first movie, particularly the mediocre team, but I suspect that the basics will be kept--the Brotherhood (Magneto's in this case) will attempt an assassination on some political figure, X-Men will try to stop the assassination, and a future member of the X-Men will travel to the past to warn them about the assassination.

@Sabconth The trend that Dark Knight started?
You mean after movies like like X-Men: The Last Stand, Batman Returns, Batman & Robin, Batman Forever, Superman Returns, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer?
