'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Trailer Review

If you're not quite sure who or what the X-Men are, leave this post now, and rent the movie.

Following the events in 2013's 'The Wolverine' and 'X-Men: First Class', characters from the original 'X-Men' film trilogy are reunited with their younger selves to fight a war for the survival of the mutant species across two time periods. A battle that must change the past, to save their future.

Reasons to consider seeing it:

1. New X-Men are recruited! (You just might see some familiar faces)
   • Evan Peters, as some might recognize him in 'American Horror Story', joined the cast as Quicksilver. He's plays a mutant that can (you guessed it) run, talk and does everything with supersonic speed.

   

   In the center is newcomer, Evan Peters as Quicksilver. On the left, Michael Fassbender as Magneto (past), on the right, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier (past)

   • Fan Bingbing appears as Blink, a mutant that can teleport. Keep an eye out for this Chinese actress. She's definitely going to be kicking some major telepathic butt in this film.

2. Your old favorites are back!
   • Kitty Pryde, Kitty Pryde, all hail Kitty Pryde! This mutant can go through solid objects and her power allows time travel to happen. She is definitely a key aspect in the film.

   • Shawn Ashmore as Bobby Drake aka Iceman returns. Let's hope to see some rekindled romance with Rogue... or Kitty Pryde.

     Although Halle Berry was pregnant during filming, she still manages to pull off a good Storm. She brings back her silver hair and she's ready to go! 

     

     3. Plenty of Man Candy! 

Let's not forget the very hunky Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy (who sports a longer 'do in the film), Nicholas Hoult, Shawn Ashmore and many more are BACK! I'm expecting at least one shirtless Michael Fassbender in this movie.

     4. The new villain is not "new"

• Mutant hunting robots, the Sentinels! These deadly robots are out to destroy the mutant race. Fun Fact: these things were the villain in the 'X-Men' trilogy but they were never shown clearly.
• Bolivar Trask, head of Trask Industries is portrayed by Peter Dinklage. The creator of the Sentinels has appeared in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' and was mentioned in 'The Wolverine'.
