Days Of Future Past uses a clever time-travel conceit to connect Vaughn’s new cast with Singer’s old one, so McAvoy and Fassbender share the film (and briefly, the screen) with their respective predecessors, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
AVENGERS DAYS OF FUTURE PAST SERIES
2011’s X-Men: First Class, directed by Matthew Vaughn, introduced younger versions of the franchise’s core adversaries-peace-loving Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) and vengeful Magneto (Michael Fassbender)-who reinvigorated the series with intense, charismatic performances. Like Singer, Jackman’s hairy, pointy hero goes back to Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters after a long time away, and finds a lot has changed in his absence. Perhaps that was what drew Singer back to the X-Men, and specifically to Days Of Future Past, where Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) travels through time to prevent an apocalyptic war before it even begins. To a man with that kind of history, the idea of erasing a dark future and returning to a bright past must seem like an intoxicating premise. But then came the disappointment of Superman Returns and Jack The Giant Slayer, and recently, he’s been hit with embarrassing sex-abuse lawsuits. When he left the franchise in 2003, he was one of the hottest young directors in Hollywood. It’s been 11 years since Bryan Singer made an X-Men movie.
