After
the bomb dropped yesterday that Quicksilver is going to make an appearance not
only in Joss Whedon’s Avengers 2 but also in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of
Future Past, the director (Singer) talked a little bit more about the film.
“It’s
not just another X-Men film;
it’s not just about the combined cast as there will be certain technologies and
other stuff that we haven’t seen before in the X-Men films.”
“There are also issues of time and we’re
messing about with that,” He says about the addition of some of the cast from
the original trilogy, “I think we’ve got it figured out. I pitched it to James
Cameron when I was in New Zealand last year and he said, ‘Yes, that makes
sense.’”
“We wanted an opportunity to bring some
of the favorite older and younger characters together,”. Not only are Patrick Stewart,
Ian McKellen and others from the original trilogies cast returning to star but
Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) is set to make an
appearance, rumored to be playing villainous Bolivar Trask, an anthropologist
that saw the existence of mutants as a threat to mankind. Ironically he has a
son (Larry Trask) who is a mutant with precognitive powers, which are later suppressed
by a medallion given to him by his own father, and a daughter (Tanya) with the
ability to travel through time. If she is going to have a significant role in
this time travel film is yet unknown, but is a possibility.
In the original comic, a Future Kitty
Pryde goes back in time to change her dystopian future. The film is set to
stick to much of the same storyline. “We also wanted to play with the notion of
different times and stuff like the way that time affects destinies. It enables
the film to not just be a sequel to First Class or X-Men 3 but
to actually be its own thing.”
