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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The $1,428 option The Steam Hardware lineup that Valve announced last year is slowly starting to roll out. Following the recent Steam Controller launch, Valve has now confirmed the price of the Steam Machine, its all-in-one console-like solution for PC gaming in the living room. There are currently four variants being presented, with only the storage and the included controller being the biggest differences. All of the Steam Machines have the same internals consisting of a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU with six cores and 12 threads, an RDNA 3 28CU GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all inside the familiar box Valve has been showing off for months now. The Steam Machine base model starts at $1,049. This has a 512GB NVMe SSD but does not come with a Steam Controller. Keep in mind that storage can be expanded with the microSD card slot too. Next, the $1,128 model has the exact same storage as the previous one but it does come with the new Steam Controller. If you need the Steam Machine to have more storage for games and apps than that, then the 2TB tiers are also available. The $1,349 Steam Machine has no controller once again, but it does ship with two extra faceplates (red fabric and solid walnut) to replace the standard black one. The final option costs $1,428, and it adds the controller back into the bundle. The Steam Machine ships with the Linux-based SteamOS. The box has a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0, as well as one USB-C and four USB-A ports. Keep in mind that when purchasing standalone, the Steam Controller has a $100 price tag. With the above bundles, that drops to $80. It's a rather expensive machine for the internals it is touting, though the design and small form factor do help it somewhat. However, at the same time, the lack of upgradability hurts it. Valve says the ongoing parts shortages and massive price hikes for memory were the leading causes for this price. "The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable," added the company. "So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months." Valve wants interested gamers to reserve it now to get the chance to pre-order a Steam Machine starting June 25, with shipping starting on June 29. Head here to sign up. The invites to buy it will be sent in a randomized order.
    • What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, Natural gas plants use about 2,803 gallons of water per megawatt-hour produced, which is significantly less than coal-fired plants that use around 19,185 gallons per megawatt-hour. Overall, natural gas plants are more water-efficient, using 584% less water than traditional power plants on average. AI generated
