Rumored earlier this week, the sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class is officially titled X-Men: Days of Future Past. IGN scored a confirmation directly from the film's producer, Bryan Singer.

"It's called 'Days of Future Past'," he told the site. "It deals with aspects of that comic, but also some very new things."

The comic book storyline, "Days of Future Past" ran in Uncanny X-Men #141 and 142 way back in 1981 during Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run and introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

As you can see in the video player below, Singer also says that the hope is to expand the X-Men franchise to become as complete a world as the interconnected film universe of Marvel's The Avengers.

A dark future, hunted by Sentinels sounds perfect if they make it dark enough and the Sentinels imposing and fear inducing enough. Give it to Peter Jackson, lol.

Screw PJ, but yes I think they could easily do sentinels properly and make a good flick from it. No need to run off to another universe with it.

Not saying first class was bad or w/e, but I just didn't like it. I didn't like all the changes to the history and characters they did. I really don't like it when a movie goes so far away from it's comic roots and starts to make up it's own original history. I'm really not looking forward to a sequel at this point.

Which history? Which version? With all the changes made in the comics themselves....

Which is why we don't need hollywood adding to the complex mix any more. Hell I think Mavel should do what DC just did a reboot everything and start fresh to get away from this mess they've made. I hate parallel worlds, alternate universes and so on. Just knock that **** out please.

Unless Hugh Jackman will be involved, I don't know how they could do that storyline... Wolverine was pretty important to it. lol

But honestly, I like the story and think that would be pretty cool. I'm hoping to see Storm back though (Played by someone who can ACT this time would be nice...).

As long as we get lines that are better than , " What happens to a frog when it gets hit by lightning? The same thing as everything else." I'll be happy :p

I have to agree. That's one of the reasons I didn't like "Last Stand"... With how good the X-Men stories are, there is no reason why they should have to break away from that to such a degree...

HAHAHA, said in an *authentic* Kenyan accent... :rolleyes:

All I want is a good Storm. lol She was always my favorite...

Yes! I'm so glad they're going to be in it. It makes sense for the previous trilogy to be connected to the new X-Men movies.

Following yesterday's announcement that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are reprising their ?Professor Charles Xavier? & ?Magneto? roles respectively, it seems X-Men: Days of Future Past will see another actor's return from the original X-Men trilogy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to reprise his ?Wolverine? role in the Bryan Singer-directed sequel.

This expected news comes only a week after Hugh Jackman officially wrapped production on the James Mangold-directed solo venture for the mutant, The Wolverine, which is due out in theaters July 26, 2013. Anyhow, Jackman joins Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Jason Flemyng and Ian McKellen with Patrick Stewart. And with more cast additions to be announced, X-Men: Days of Future Past reportedly commences filming in Spring next year. And Bryan Singer directs the time travel adaptation into theaters on July, 18 2014

marc singer is grossly over-rated. this selfish nincompoop doesn't care so much what the fan base wanted, but how the movie will make him look good. guess what. he royally fornicated his superman movie, and now ran back to x-men with tail between his posterior. his style of direction is grossly out-dated, too. we need intelligent + action bub. no more stinking thinking man's superhero movie.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation.

You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
