“…the X-Men of all X-Men” Says Stewart

Before we begin our post here is a short video of Patrick Stewart talking to a fan about his childhood, dealing with domestic abuse and his connection to the UK organization refuge, that helps women and children who are victims of it.

Now changing the tone of the post, during Comicpalooza, Stewart said that;

“I think it is going to certainly be the X-Men of all X-Men pictures, and one doesn’t want to tempt fate, but perhaps also the blockbuster of 2014.”

Well, sure. If you think about it, the film is going to have a large ensemble of mutants which are relevant to the film, unlike X-Men: The Last Stand, which also had a large collective of mutants in it.

For those of you that don’t recall X-Men: The Last Stand, the body of Professor X got disintegrated by the Dark Phoenix (Famke Janssen), but at the end of the film after the credits role, there is a short clip of his mind being transferred to a body that was in the care of Moira MacTaggert. While everybody was confused about these sudden change of events and the implications for the next X-Men film, check out what Stewart had to say about it.

“It’s been 6 or 7 years since X-Men 3, where you will recall that Charles Xavier was vaporized by whats-her-name, Jean Grey. And you’re asking yourselves, ‘If you were vaporized, how can you be in the next X-Men movie?’ Anybody got any ideas how that came about?” One audience member yelled out “Time travel,” to which Stewart responded: “Yeah, that’s exactly it. I guess. There will be an explanation, but it was a little puzzling for me because I thought my X-Men days were over. So, it’s something to look forward to.”

X-Men: Days of Future Past Synopsis:

“The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men's failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live ininternment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future. (The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 gave the numerical designation of "Days of Future Past" Earth as Earth-811).”
