Check Out All 25 X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Empire Magazine Covers!


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, 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).

How Much Awards Gold Has The Cast of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Won? Bryan Singer Wants You To Know

X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer just tweeted a pic of his impressive cast's headshots  pinned on a bulletin board with a count of the awards they have collectively won. Even looking at them as just pictures on the wall, assembling all these big screen X-Men stars in one film is going to be a trip.



Keep up folks for this all star Mutant line-up. We have Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Omar Sy and Anna Paquin (followed by three unconfirmed mystery cast members).

Plus those six empty slots makes you wonder who are the additional major players yet to be announced...

Check back here for confirmation on the identities of the last three mystery head shots on the board, and I would expect updated pictures of this wall to be tweeted by Singer until the cast is complete...

UPDATE: Deadline and SuperheroHype confirm that Fan Bingbing, as seen in this picture, has been added to the cast as the mutant Blink. Also per SuperheroHype, BingBing's headshot hangs between Daniel Cudmore (returning as Colossus from X2 and X3) and Boo Boo Stewart who holds the last spot in the line-up.

Anna Paquin, Ellen Page & Shawn Ashmore To Return In 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'


The all-star Mutant cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past keeps growing. Director Bryan Singer took to his Twitter account today and welcomed back X-Men vets Anna Paquin (Rogue), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) and Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde).

Bringing back Page was key, as her Kitty Pryde (last seen in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand) played a crucial role in the landmark 1981 Marvel comics storyline the upcoming film is based upon. In the comics lore, an older Kitty Pryde from warns her younger self of an impending Mutant dystopian future, where her super powered comrades find themselves locked away in government run internment camps.

The plot involves time travel, which will allow the newer cast of 2011's X-Men: First Class to share the spotlight with the stars of the first three X-Men films in an alternate reality storyline.


To keep count now, Singer has previously posted on Twitter that also returning from the original trilogy will be Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier). Jackman has confirmed he will be back (well he has been in every film in the franchise), but no official word from 20th Century Fox as of yet regarding Sirs McKellen and Stewart.

Singer, returning to the franchise to direct this sequel to X-Men: First Class, also announced James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult from the First Class cast would reprise their roles as Charles Xavier, Mystique, Magneto, and Beast.

Kelsey Grammer played Beast in X-Men: The Last Stand, and it remains to be seen if he will return as the older counterpart to Hoult's First Class version. The casting waiting game similarly applies to Halle Berry (Storm), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Famke Jannsen (Jean Grey). Their fellow X-Men alumni Rebecca-Romijn actually did a clever cameo in First Class, playing an older Jennifer Lawrence in Mystique's human form. However, as with Anna Paquin's Rogue, her character was 'cured' of her mutant powers during the events of The Last Stand.

Apparently Hugh Jackman is well in the know about the film and let this slip earlier this month: "You wouldn’t have enough room on the page after you’ve listed them all" he told the Daily Mail. "Every other actor who’s ever put on a superhero uniform will be in it."


X-Men: Days of Future Past is targeted for a July 2014 release.
