First Official Image From X-Men: Days Of Future Past Plus Some Continuity Errors In The Franchise

There have been lots of different behind the scenes looks at Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, but here is the first official image from the latest addition to the installment.

X-Men: Days of Future Past stars James McAvoy (Younger Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Younger Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Raven/Mystique), Patrick Stewart (Older Professor X), Ian McKellan (Older Magneto), Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine), Halle Berry (Ororo Munroe/Storm), Anna Paquin (Marie/Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat), Shawn Ashmore (Bobby Drake/Iceman), Omar Sy, Daniel Cudmore (Piotr Rasputin/Colossus), Booboo Stewart, Fan Bingbing (Clarice Ferguson/Blink), Nicholas Hoult (Hank McCoy/Beast) and Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask).

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is schedule to open on May 23rd, 2014.

P.S. I’m looking forward to see this movie, but all I really want to see is Professor X erasing out everyone’s minds, including his own, so the movie ties in with the other movies of the franchise and avoid any continuity issues, which have occurred in every single movie of the franchise.

Some of the most memorable are:

1: “In First Class, Magneto accidentally paralyzed his friend Charles in 1962, then abandoned him and his cause of peace between mutants and humans. They must have patched things up - literally - because the two are seen palling around together in The Last Stand's flashback, where they both walk into young Jean Grey's house at some point in the ‘70s. And in 1985, according to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Professor X is still standing when he's summoning all those kids out of the mutant prison - only to be in a wheelchair when 2000's X-Men rolls around (sorry about the pun). Guess Chuck must've slipped in the shower or something.”

2: “In First Class, Xavier and Magneto recruit Alex Summers, a.k.a. Havok, a.k.a. Scott Summers' brother. Since Cyclops is a main part of Professor X's 2000 team, that means his brother is about 40 years older than he is (although technically Havok is Cyclops' younger brother in the comics,). Except when Professor X uses Cerebro in First Class in the ‘60s, he sees a kid who is pretty clearly Cyclops - and he definitely sees a young Storm. Which means both Cyclops and Storm should be about 50 when X-Men starts in 2000. They aren't.”

3: “When Wolverine meets Professor X and Sabretooth in X-Men, he doesn't know them. Of course, he was recruited by Xavier - very briefly - in the ‘60s, and spent most of the 20th century with his half-brother Victor Creed. I don't begrudge Wolverine not remembering someone he met (but didn't even look at) for 30 seconds in the '60s, and regarding Sabretooth, Logan has the excuse that someone shot a magic amnesia bullet into his brain (which is a plot device so stupid even the X-Men comics never used it). But even if we assume Professor X is playing it cool when Logan finally joins his team 40 years later, what the hell is Sabretooth's excuse for not recognizing his half-brother in X-Men? Also, why does he look completely different?”

4: “In X-Men, Xavier says that Magneto helped him build Cerebro, but in First Class Beast had it built before Professor X ever got there. Xavier also says Magneto made his helmet through his work with Cerebro, but in First Class he just stole it from Kevion Bacon. In X-Men Xavier says he met Magneto when he was 17. In First Class they first meet when they're like 30. And if Xavier and Mystique were BFFs in First Class, why didn't either of them acknowledge the other at any point during the X-Men trilogy? And why did Xavier say Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm were his first students in X-Men when clearly he was teaching for at least a decade before he met them? Is Professor X a pathological liar?”

5: “In 2006's The Last Stand, Moira MacTaggart is a 38-year-old Scottish doctor researching the mutant gene. In the ‘60s-set First Class, Moira MacTaggart is a 32-year-old American CIA agent who has no problem infilitrating dangerous places in her underpants. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.”
