Empire Magazine had a huge day of online X-clusives yesterday, releasing an X-Men: Days of Future Past character cover each hour until 25 in all were revealed. In addition, they form a panorama when viewed in sequentially.
Among the new images are past and future incarnations of Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, and a Sentinel. We get first looks at Bishop, Sunspot, Toad, William Stryker, Blink, Havok, Warpath and Colossus. Fan favorites like Storm, Mystique, Kitty Pryde, Iceman and Beast make a welcome return. Also interesting to note that Anna Paquin’s Rogue still has a spot in the line-up despite that director Bryan Singer revealed the sequence Rogue was featured in has already been cut from the film in post production (but will be a home video extra).
Some fans appear none too pleased with the Quicksilver cover. There has been some noted disappointment in the costume and overall look Evan Peters is sporting as the Mutant with super speed. Since it’s likely Quicksilver will be featured on the ’70s timeline, I don’t think a slick leather or armored outfit is something we should expect, but more of a home made retro look. This film looks absolutely awesome, and it’s a shame some fans will nonetheless pounce on the first thing that doesn’t meet their particular expectation or transition to the big screen.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for May 23rd, 2014 in 3D.
Directed by Bryan Singer, the film boasts an all-star line-up including Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Erik Lehnsherr), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Peter Dinklage (Dr. Bolivar Trask), Halle Berry (Storm), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Omar Sy (Bishop), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Fan Bingbing (Blink), Daniel Cudmore (Colossus), Boo Boo Stewart (Warpath), Evan Peters (Quicksilver), Josh Helman (William Stryker), Adan Canto (Sunspot) and Lucas Till (Havok).
