The first trailer for the upcoming film, X-Men: Days of Future Past has been released. The seventh film in the hit-or-miss series combines both the original cast with the franchise's prequel players, via a time travel plot line. The Wolverine-heavy trailer offers us a brief glimpse of familiar faces as well as new comers, like Bishop and Warpath. Unfortunately, the Sentinels are no where to be seen. Spoilers Below!
The first look at the latest X-Men film is finally out, and it appears that Wolverine has to use his claws to fix a few plot holes. The film series has had a mixed reaction throughout the past 13 years.
This is Hugh Jackman's seventh appearance as Wolverine. Jackman has been in every one of the X-men franchise films, including a brief cameo in X-Men: First Class. The actor spoke with the Daily News earlier in the year about his run as Wolverine:
"I love this character, and I never take for granted the opportunity I have to play what I think is one of the cooler, more interesting, multilayered comic book characters, particularly with this one I have wanted to do the story. At some point my body will give up, but right now I'm enjoying it more than ever."
After bailing on the franchise to make the poorly received Superman Returns, Bryan Singer is back to clean up the mess left in his absence. Singer recently spoke with Empire about the benefits and dangers of trying to make a time travel film:
"It's about figuring your rules and sticking to them. The principle I looked at is this theory that until an object is observed, it hasn't really happened yet. The time-traveller whose consciousness travels through time I call The Observer, and until The Observer returns to where he travelled from, the result hasn't occurred yet. So he can muck about in the past and it isn't until he snaps back that the new future is set. As a result, we're able to have parallel action, and there's an underlying tension because there's always that threat Wolverine's conciousness could return and leave the world in an even darker place."
Singer recently tweeted about the film teasing the appearance of the Sentinels:
"I love the the characters. There's always a new place to go in the #XMen universe. #TimeTravel #Sentinels"
However, the film's digital effects are still being worked on, leaving our first look at the mutant-hunting robots for a later time.
