New pictures from X-Men: Days of Future Past show Quicksilver, Magneto, Beast, and Xavier walking!
We never tire of hearing more about X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is serving as something akin to the Omnibus X-Men movie. They’re all here—Wolverine, Mystique, Storm, Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Beast, and TWO different iterations of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto. Oh and it finally has Sentinels, time travel, and Peter Dinklage rocking a ‘stache.
So every new image intrigues all the more. That is why we are grateful to SuperheroHype!and Entertainment Weekly for both delivering us two X-shaped belated Christmas presents today with these pictures from X-Men: Days of Future Past.
The second photo is another cool shot of Beast and Wolverine just hanging around, likely due to the presence of Magneto. However the first image should interest fans even more. First and most prominently, this is our earliest look at Evan Peters (American Horror Story) as Quicksilver, the son of Magneto. It also will be interesting to compare Singer and Peters’ iteration of the character, who looks here to be a child of the ‘70s that’s really loving the silver far too much, with 2015’s Marvel Studios take on the character when he will be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. If Clark Duke could only play him in some other film, then our Kick-Ass Quicksilver trifecta will be complete.
However also in that picture are two more really cool tidbits: Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is dressed in prison-wear that looks awfully familiar. Indeed, it is almost identical to how Ian McKellen’s Magneto dressed in X2: X-Men United. Even the way Fassbender is postured in that small picture brings to mind McKellen’s take on the character.
And also, in case you missed it, Xavier (James McAvoy) is standing. How on Shi’ar’s green starship is that happening?
Let us know if you have any theories in the comment sections below!
X-Men: Days of Future Past comes out May 23, 2014.
