Days of Future Past Days of Future Past News and Discussion - Part 33

[EnDz0n3]

Almost everything about Mystique has been bothering me. Hope she looks better on film.

Some of her pics looked good. The one with the American flag in the background looked good.

The thing with Mystique is that her hair is supposed to look wet, as it's supposed to be slicked back. This detail I remember vividly from the descriptions of Mystique from way back in 2000 when we didn't see any pics of movie Mystique and only a description got leaked.

Here it looks dry as ****

I know this is nitpicking on my part, but oh well.

xrs13 what color is Beast's hoodie. Is it an article of clothing we've seen in other pics released?

But how would bishop time travel to the future past?

 

[Figs]

Right, sorry it has taken so long and sorry that I am going to dissapoint, There is nothing new :S Singer does say that Apoc is going to introduce familiar characters in a younger time, And Apoc is going to be the film with the spectacle because of the character and story.

That makes it sound like Days of Future Past isn't going to be as big as we're all hoping. In terms of "spectacle" and action.

I like how he mentions he will introduce familiar characters in a younger time because that most likely means he won't need those characters/actors from the OT.

 

[Malik]

Of course Apocalypse will be bigger, it's apocalypse.

They need wet looks hair gel lol!

I'm mainly joking. I don't believe for a second Singer used Quicksilver to piss off Marvel Studios. I just wanted to ruffle some feathers.

Also, no, Quicksilver and Wanda make more sense being in Avengers due to the fact that the Majority of their comic history has been with the Avengers. They were in early X-men as part of the brotherhood and whatnot but once again, were in Avengers for most of their history.

I don't have a problem with them being in either franchise since it works both ways. Well, so long as they mention that Quicksilver is Magneto's son. If they don't do that, then Quicksilver being in this film was really unnecessary.

Fox could use Quicksilver whatever how they want to use him. He doesn't have to be Magneto's son just to justify his appearance in a X-Men movie.

People also forget that even though Quicksilver's has a bigger history with the Avengers than the X-Men. Quicksilver is more well known as a "X-Men character" because of the cartoon X-Men Evolution. He also appeared in a couple of videogames and the other X-Men cartoons.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I realize Fox can use Quicksilver any way they want to. In my earlier posts I was talking about which film is he more important to basically. Look at it this way. Since he's been in Avengers comics most of his history, it makes sense to have him in the new Avengers. When it comes to X-men and his relationship with Magneto and the Brotherhood because he's Magneto's son, if he's not his son in this movie they could have written around him. I think it would be worthwhile to make some kind of mention that he's Magneto's bastard child.

X-men Evolution is somewhat recent, meaning mainly the younger generation, the "kiddies", will see him as more of an X-men than an Avenger. For those of us who have been reading comics and have known of these characters for quite a few years or decades know he has been with the Avengers more. So no, he's not more well known as an X-men because of a semi-recent cartoon. I'm willing to bet a very large percentage of people who watched Evolution were already fans of comics, and I'm sure they outnumber the number of younger new viewers that show might have.

 

[psylockolussus]

Sorry I am still on an iphone 3 haha.

Thanks for sharing!

The EW announcement said Rogue was out. The Empire article backtracked and said she might not be totally out.

I remember that!

You're welcome!

 

[Figs]

You're welcome!

Hahaha! Nice response because you know I'm right.

 

[psylockolussus]

Hahaha! Nice response because you know I'm right.

You said "thank you for clearing that out" and I just said "you're welcome". It doesn't mean I'm agreeing with you. And Fox could always change the history of their characters, they got the movie rights to do it, a character like Quicksilver doesn't have to Magneto's son just to justify his appearance in a X-Men movie.

And about X-Men Evolution, Quicksilver might have been part of the comics for a longer time than appearing in a X-Men cartoons. But in my opinion, he got more "public awareness" in that cartoon show than appearing in the Avengers comic books for like at least 3 decades. Why do you think there people are out saying Quicksilver is more of a X-Men character? Probably because the cartoon was more accessible to them than the Avengers comic-books.

No, I said "Thanks for pointing out the obvious." I was being a smart ass.

 

[bustedbeatbox]

i have to say i wouldn't be surprised either if fox got singer to put quicksilver in DOFP once they found out he was in The avengers 2, because as people have said its all about claiming the character first

and once you hear they were all ready to have juggernaut and then they got rid for quicksilver its like... at what point did they decide this? before or after they found out?

obviously marvel using them characters in first place seems kinda silly in itself

Oh there's absolutely no doubt that Quicksilver's inclusion was deliberate because of Marvel announcing him and Scarlet Witch as being in AoU...but what I love, and think is brilliant, is how

Spoiler

Marvel completely one-upped them by having QS and SW appear in the post-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, thus their versions are technically the first on screen movie appearances of the characters.

I totally applaud them for that.

Well Fox still got the first-look for the live-action version of Quicksilver. Maybe not in the big screen but in production stills and magazine covers. We saw Fox's look for Quicksilver first before MS' version of Quicksilver.

How are you shaming X-men for supposedly doing one thing but applauding Avengers for doing the exact same thing?

What a weird post.

 

[jaymes_e06]

We have a "Marvel can do no wrong" guy on our hands everyone.

 

[psylockolussus]

Isn't that obvious?

 

[usagicassidy]

Also, to psylockolussus' point, Quicksilver was also a major player in the 2008 series Wolverine and the X-Men. It may have only had one season, but it was still noteworthy (and quite frankly the coolest Quicksilver has ever been in my book).

I think it's safe to say that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are two characters who have caused incredible repercussions to both the Avengers and X-Men characters/universe. I'd say they're no more synonymous with one than the other. And that any argument that they're "more this than that" is silly. They're both mutants, born to the most popular villain, both have been Avengers, as well as X-Men.

 

[psyonic]

Singer said in Empire that Rogue's sequence was cut, but that doesn't mean we won't see her in the film, so yeah we'll see her in some way.

I have no doubt AoU's Quicksilver will be better than DoFP's, his look is awful and Aaron Johnson is more fit and better looking than Evan Peters, plus he'll be a featured character in AoU unlike DoFP.

In no way do I believe the rumors that Singer put Quicksilver into the movie to one-up AoU, but let's not get carried away. Neither the Scarlet Witch nor Quicksilver have ever been X-Men (except maybe in AoA and other alternate universe stuff). And Wanda is by heart and soul an Avenger. Quicksilver is more connected to the X-world thru his association with Mags and eventually a major player in the X-Factor world, but his connections to the Avengers are just as significant.

 

[universeman]

I miss the X-Men movies action figures! it's a real shame they stop making them!

 

[kasjan]

In further future Bishop could use time machine.
But Kitty can send only consciousness, not body.
Don't know where is she sending him, and how he survives it? Why would they send back Bishop to same future with Sentinels?

 

[NanaT]

Just read through my copy of the Total Film Magazine. As has been said. There's nothing new in terms of movie details. But there are some interesting set stories.

Like Jennifer was meticulous with her stunt and fight scenes and was annoyed that she didn't get any action scenes in First Class. And in terms of her character she wanted to go darker but was conflicted on how much darker. For example there is a scene where she takes out a guard, she felt that mystique should shoot him but that was not in the script so Jennifer (being the huge mega super star that she is) convinced them to film both ways one where shoots and one where she doesn't. She doesn't know which one will be used though. (Oscar power only goes so far lol)

Ian Mckellen left a note for Michael Fassbender in his trailer before leaving the set when he finished filming. I think we knew this before.

One interesting note that irks me is that Hugh says that Days of Future Past will resolve matters in the future his exact words are

There's so much dotting the i's and crossing the t's, I can tell you that. It's going to be a smorgasbord of delight for fans. The great thing about time travel movies is that you can really tie things up in a smart way. I think people are going to be surprised at how much things are resolved...though I'm not just meaning how many people are going to die off. If that's what you're referring to.

Doesn't bode well for the OT cast. But I am still holding out hope.

 

[henzINNIT]

But how would bishop time travel to the future past?

Further future Kitty? lol

 

[kasjan]

More like one way time machine same as in Terminator.

 

[psyonic]

Note that in the Kitty and Bishop pic, she has rings on her left hand fingers.
