Final ‘X-Men Days of Future Past’ trailer reveals plot, Quicksilver and action
20th Century Fox has released a final “X-Men: Days of Future Past” trailer for director Bryan Singer’s mash-up from the first “X-Men” trilogy and the cast of “X-Men: First Class.” Fans will certainly get a clear view of the plot and some new action sequences.
“Days of Future” centers on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) having his consciousness sent back to 1973 in order to help Professor X (James McAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and the rest of the “First Class” team stop Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and the rise of the Sentinels, giant robots programmed to exterminate mutants.
The trailer does a fantastic job at summarizing up the premise, which highlights the mystery of the film and an extended look at Quicksilver (Evan Peters). Check out the photo of him racing on the wall inside the Pentagon, where Magneto is being held.
“Quicksilver is Magneto’s son in the comics and there may be an allusion to it in the movie,” writer Simon Kinberg told EW. “But it’s not something we fully explore yet.”
A rep did counter earlier rumors and confirm Anna Paquin will make a cameo after appearing in the first three films.
The film also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Halle Berry, Lucas Till, Omar Sy, Adan Canto, Daniel Cudmore, and Bingbing Fan.
“X-Men: Days of Future Past” opens in 2D and 3D on May 23, 2014.
