X-Men: Days of Future Past - First Trailer

X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for theaters on May 23, 2014.



I personally think this trailer looks fantastic. I liked X-Men: First Class, but I think Days of Future Past already looks a lot better and more intriguing. I think the darker tone is very present and will work throughout the film. The plot follows Wolverine as his consciousness is sent back to 1973 to recruit the scattered X-Men to help fight the rise of The Sentinels, robots programmed to exterminate mutants.

Sentinel blueprints revealed

Bryan Singer seems to be loyal to using the Sentinels in the viral marketing for X-Men: Days of Future Past as we have yet another image of a Sentinel. This time it is a blueprint of a Sentinel helmet.

If you aren't aware of what a Sentinel is, they are basically big mutant killing robots created by Bolivar Trask (played by Peter Dinklage). We have already had a couple images of the machines in the form of a poster and a set photo of Singer next to one. There is no real word on exactly how much inclusion the Sentinels will have yet, but they are sure to be relevant.

[Update] Peter Dinklage to play villain in X-Men: Days of Future Past

Yesterday news broke that Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) had been added to the steadily growing cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Director Bryan Singer announced the addition via Twitter and speculation of which role Dinklage will have began almost immediately. While the character still remains unannounced we do know that he will indeed be playing the villain.

Like I said, speculation is all we have to go off right now but here are the top two predictions circling around the web world right now:

One prediction is that Dinklage will take on the role of Mr. Sinister, the genetically altered human with a strong telekinetic sense and mind influence ability. He doesn't really factor into the Days of Future Past arc, though. However, he does cross paths with Sebastian Shaw at some point (the main villain from X-Men: First Class) so this is possible.

Another guess is the villain will be Bolivar Trask. He is the baddie who saw the rise of the mutants as a threat to humanity despite having two mutant children of his own. He is also the military scientist who created the Sentinels, the mutant hunting robots. If you've been following the latest X-Men news you know that the Sentinels are supposed to have a big role in Days of Future Past.



Personally, I think Trask would be a better villain so I'm hoping that is the one Singer goes with.
