Wolverine Time Traveling In X-MEN: DOFP To Do More Than Stop Giant Robots

"There's bad blood because of everything Erik's done to Charles. Obviously Hank is on Charles' side completely," says Nicholas Hoult on the current X-Men factions in the 70's. Plus, a small hint about Wolverine's mission in the film.

In addition to the new photos for X-Men: Days of Future Past in November's issue of Entertainment Weekly, there's also some brief quotes and story hints from director Bryan Singer and some of the cast. The more spoilerish elements are hidden but you can highlight and read that bit at your own discretion.

You may recall seeing set photos that leaked earlier this year which showed an intense confrontation between Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Hoult's Beast. "There's bad blood because of everything Erik's done to Charles. Obviously Hank is on Charles' side completely," says Nicholas Hoult.

While many an X-Men detractor decries Bryan Singer's disregard for the source material in past X-Men movies, he does occasionally pull a few things from the comic books. Said Singer, "Xavier's chair is a hover chair. That's something I wanted to do from the comic that I hadn't seen yet." Singer also describes the mindset of Bolivar Trask, played by Peter Dinklage. "He's actually kind of a peace lover. He sees the advent of the mutants as a way to unite people. There's this moment where he basically explains when modern men came along, it meant extinction for the Neanderthal; now humans are the Neanderthal, so this fight is for our survival as a species."

Spoiler:[It's revealed that when Wolverine travels back in time, one of the first thing he and Professor X do is break Magneto out of jail. Central to Wolverine's mission is the need to stop Trask from creating the Sentinels and to stop Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique from doing something that Singer doesn't specify.]

"Wolverine basically plays the Charles Xavier role in this movie and I kind of play the Wolverine role," says James McAvoy on encountering a time traveling Hugh Jackman in the 70's. He promises surprises are in store for his character, dark ones that will eventually turn Professor X into the man first seen in 200's X-Men.

I bet they stop Mystique from killing the President like how Kitty stopped Destiny in the comics.

For the love of God, just reboot. This franchise "continuity" has become a tangled mess and they've clearly been written in to a corner.

ugh I was so excited about the reboot and everything, but now everything I've heard since is kinda...... idk feel like we might have x3 all over again.

No one complains that there are 25 movies starring James Bond and I'd argue that Wolverine is a better character.

I'm excited for this movie, it's sounds really ambitious and that is needed right now for this genre.

Aaaah I wondered why Magneto was dragging Mystique across the floor!
Interesting.

See this is why I want them in the MCU. X-men as characters become far to boring because they all get their powers from the same place. as far as movies go, so we need something new. like.. idk but as characters they are becoming over used now... Just wish we would see less X-men movies and more solo movies from them.

Ratner's not directing so no worries about this being a heavy handed X3-type of movie.

In fact, the X-movies that Singer has been involved in, X-men, X-2, First Class and The Wolverine, have all been really good!

Singer is a bit of a jerk though for bailing on X-3 and letting a decent story be delivered so poorly and generically by a much lesser director.

I don't rip on Fox much because I don't see them as being different than any other movie studio but they should have just delayed X-3 and find a GOOD director instead of grabbing whoever was available in a days notice like they did!

Mark Julian, I'm watching Blade right now...it has nothing in common with today's CMBs other than the fact that its a comic book adaption.

Its an action/horror, its low budget, its really small in scale and not many people watched it!

Blade didn't start anything! It was a continuation of the vampire hunter sub-genre.

novaprime, what are you talking about? How can this movie change people's opinions of movies they have already seen?

And where are the X-3 similarities coming from? This production has nothing in common with that rush job!
