3 More X-Men Confirmed For 'Days of Future Past' Movie

The director announces a trio of characters that'll return to the roster! Come find out if it's one of your favorites!

X-Men: Days of Future Past is turning out to be one big reunion movie for the original X-Men crew. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) has hinted about returning and both Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier) are confirmed. Now we can add 3 more names to the list thanks to director Bryan Singer: Anna Paquin (Rogue), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), and Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde).

Are you happy to see these characters from the original trilogy return and is there anyone else you'd want to see come back? I'm rooting for Colossus. It's fitting since he was in the source material and barely had any screen time in the original trilogy. Also, what new characters would you want to see in this one?

X-Men: Days of Future Past will hit theaters in 2014.

Personally I hope they find a way to bring back Jean and Cyclops. Killing the two of them off in X3 was a huge mistake.

I would actually prefer they recast both of them though rather then bring back the old actors. They really weren't that great for the roles to begin with.

I hope they bring back Jean Grey and Cyclops too. Cyclops has been heavily mistreated in the first 3 films.

I love how Singer is all "Thank you for not killing fucking everyone in the entire franchise you incompetent prick".

In my opinion they should use this opportunity to pay back Cyclops all the damage that was done to him on X3. But since Wolverine is in this I guess we'll have two Wolverine-centered movies soon. It sure is a good time to be a sniktbub in film.

@TheHeat: I know he's being ridiculous. I'm pretty sure he was also whining about Warmachine not being in Avengers when he's obviously going to be in Iron Man 3. I'm white and he thinks I'm a bigot for thinking race doesn't define characters.

I'm so confused how this movies going to work. I mean if it's going to be anything like Days of Future Past from the comics who's going to be time travelling? Kitty (Ellen Page) to the past? But which past? The past where Charles and Erik are younger? And if so what is Kitty going to try to stop? Is she going to warn them about what occurred in X3? Are we going to have a flashback of when they visit Jean and they decide not to suppress the Phoenix so she won't go cray cray like she did in X3? OR are we going to have a young Charles and Erik travel to the future for some reason to stop the tragedies that occurred in X3?

I'm just confused now. :(

I think this movie might be used to explain the differences between the original movies and First Class. Remember Xavier and Magneto were old men when they first met Jean and they were still friends. I'm thinking the time travel has already happened and in this upcoming movie they're going to try to fix it but it just ends up creating another whole new timeline.

@TheSwordsman: I think that you have dealt with racism in your life and I'm sorry for that. But you can't just assume that everyone's racist! And again you show your ignorant side! I know it's pigment and ethnicity don't lecture me you self-righteous imbecile! And stop putting words in my mouth. Yes I'm white, or would you prefer if I said caucasian? There are in more white people in comics than black people I understand but if there were more black people I would not be upset . I admit that I read comics for the characters not their skin colour. I simply choose not to empathize with you because you always pull the race card. So would you like to put black characters on superhero teams for no reason or do you want to just put in characters because they are interesting? You are a fool. You brought up this argument. You brought race into the world of comics. And by the way, my grandfather was black. It makes me sick that you'd complain about racial discrimination in comic books in 2013 when it isn't even there! We are all people. I'm no different from you or anyone else. Though we share different opinions, I acknowledge you as a person,however angry, there is no reason for these hateful slurs! Characters are interesting because of their deeds and their interaction with others, it should never be about their ethnicity. Now I hope this has been insightful to your one-sided views and I hope to see your condition improve in the near future.

Yours truly

, Oscar Richardson.

@TheSwordsman: You brought race into comics. This is a form of media that has people with MANY colours of skin not just your everyday colours. Racial anger should not be directed in comics nowadays. People have BLUE skin, RED skin etc. What's wrong with you?

No, I brought pigment and ethnicity into my conversation concerning comics. There is only one human race as most modern day anthropologist agree on.19th century chalatans have fooled many for centuries into believing that there are several races. We know now because of the human genome that this is false. Yes, they will put characters with green skin and blue skin and red skin in comics and comic movies and put the best writers and directors and artists on their projects but black people are not portrayed as often of as well. Yeah, why should I want fairness and equality? How could anyone want that? If there were as few white characters in comics and superhero movies as there are black characters then you would understand and would be highly upset. You will never admit it, but you would be. You simply choose not to empathize because 99% of characters are white.

You will never admit that you would feel the same if nearly all characters were not white so there is not point in continuing a conversation. Goodbye.

ARe you guys really going at it about race in the make-believe comic world. Come on man. Just relax. It is what it is, save that energy for racial issues the affect real life not comics. Comics are entertainment and an escape, honestly I dont see race when i read comics

@TheSwordsman: Can you think of many original or famous black X-men apart from Bishop? What a silly thing to focus on because there are so few anyway.

X-men/mutants are metaphors for black Americans with Magneto being representative of Malcom X' and his ideology and Professor X's as a representation of Martin Luther King Jr and his. It is reprehensible for their not to be more black interesting mutants, or any other ethnicities for that matter.

Are you seriously going to use the fact that comic teams typically lack diversity as a defense against movies about comics not having enough diversity? So there is blatant bigotry in comics: ok, so lets continue with that self-same bigotry in the movies. Why do anything even remotely responsible to try and change that.

There aren't many famous black x-men because they aren't created or they are not written well or given enough positive exposure or they have lame powers and names and costumes..And, yeah, that guy in X-men first class, the one who could generate tornadoes, yeah he was really famous, that's why they had him in the movie. Can't remember his name though or remember reading about him in, like, anything, but, yeah, he is a really famous character.

I guarantee you that if the situations were reversed and there were very few white superheroes and most superheroe movies had no white superheroes or one token white hero you would be upset. You may lie and say you wouldn't be but you would. You simply lack any sort of empathy for anyone else, much in the way a psychopath does.

Quit your whining! I'm Hispanic and you don't hear me say, "Why aren't there any Hispanic characters?" Go see a Tyler Perry movie if you want to see black actors and actresses.

I can't hear you because it's text and i am reading it. And just because you don't have care how your people are represented is not anything to brag about at all. Yeah, nice bigoted tyler perry suggestion. I want to see more black actors in the genre that i enjoy which is superhero related, not in lame comedy films where another black man is dressing like a woman and setting us back 50 years. You are simply a bigot who does not like black people. And you have obviously been brainwashed and indoctrinated as you wish you were thor and have zero hispanic characters in your gallery. When you have even enough pride in your people to at least put them in your gallery maybe then you will have a modicum of credibility. As it stands, you have none.

Haha! I'm the bigot, yet you're the one acting like a baby. And what's with the ad hominem attack? Just because I don't have hispanic superheros in my gallery means I have no credibility or have zero pride in my race? Are you really that stupid and naive? You say that I am brainwashed and indoctrinated, yet you show those traits by acting all liberal by pushing an agenda and acting like there's some conspiracy against the black man when there isn't any. Poor, poor guy.

Bigotry and acting juvenile are two entirely different things. Perhaps you should educate yourself on the differences. You have a a white norse god on mount rushmore as your avatar. Yeah, that really shows how much pride you have in your heritage and your people. There is only one human race. 18th century bigots still have you fooled into think there are many. A liberal reference? Yep, you are brainwashed. You even defend bigotry and lie and say it doesn't exist just as bigots do. You have zero credibility. You are simply a programmed puppet. It is so funny when other bigots get those they despise to do their work for them via fox news. Keep worshipping thor and pretending that your fellow conservative fox news watchers don't make the many bigoted comments behind your back that I I hear them do all day about hispanics. It won't make you white. you simply want to draw someone into a divisive, liberal vs conservative argument so you can regurgitate what you have heard on fox. My concerns only seem divisive to bigots, who don't really want equality at all but are too cowardly to admit it so they try to argue that bigotry does not exist instead of owning up to their hatred. I pity you. Goodbye puppet.

Wow! You truly are a brainwashed idiot. So, because I have an avatar of Thor then it means I have no appreciation for my people, huh? So, since I worship Jesus Christ, who was a Jew, then that means, according to your logic, I am not appreciative of my people? You are so STUPID! 
 
And Fox News? I don't watch main stream media, idiot. I'm a Libertarian. You know, the remaining smart people left in this God forsaken country. So keep pushing the liberal propaganda that black people are owed something in this country and that there is this huge conspiracy against them. Haha!

@Guardiandevil83: I'm voting for Bishop! He could tie into the Days of Future Past storyline and is certainly far more interesting than most of the other returning characters.

(And I do agree with every point you make & think that things still need to CHANGE! The problem is very much the writing!)

Very nice illustration too = thanks for sharing!

That was the Swordsman lol. And your right! That artwork is sick.

All I honestly care about is Storm. She is my favorite X-man or X-Woman should I say and I honestly hope she is brought back done justice.

Umm, Hugh aka 6'4 wolvie was in X-men first class....

But I agree a 6'4" Wolverine was not the best choice but he did a good job and being 6'7" I have to root for the tall brothers too. I would have preferred a compact Wolverine like the one in the Hulk vs Wolverine animated movie though.

Are you seriously going to use the fact that comic teams typically lack diversity as a defense against movies about comics not having enough diversity? So there is blatant bigotry in comics: ok, so lets continue with that self-same bigotry in the movies. Why do anything even remotely responsible to try and change that.

There aren't many famous black x-men because they aren't created or they are not written well or given enough positive exposure or they have lame powers and names and costumes..And, yeah, that guy in X-men first class, the one who could generate tornadoes, yeah he was really famous, that's why they had him in the movie. Can't remember his name though or remember reading about him in, like, anything, but, yeah, he is a really famous character.

I guarantee you that if the situations were reversed and there were very few white superheroes and most superhero movies had no white superheroes or one token white hero you would be upset. You may lie and say you wouldn't be but you would. You simply lack any sort of empathy for anyone else, much in the way a psychopath does.

The hulahoop dude was Alex Summers aka Havok of X-Factor. And as a black man I agree.

I know who Havoc was in the movie and In the comics, I was referring to the guy who could generate whirlwinds. I am glad you agree, some people just want one to accept the status quo and not require fairness and equality.

@TheSwordsman: Bishop, Storm, Darwin ,Sunspot these people are some of my favourite X-men. If you bring race into comic books again I will write a formal letter asking to ban any one who applies race or who brings discrimination to the forums.

I know several bigots who have favorite sports figures and celebrities that are black, they, however, are still bigots.. Most who want people to just accept things no matter what and keep quiet about feel that way because they either don't want equality for all or because they feel guilty and don't have the courage or morals to try to change it.

So let me get this straight: you want to send a letter so that they can discriminate against people who have a right to express their opinion. perhaps you should educate yourself on the definition of discrimination unless you mean people who bring up discrimination in the forums and then, well, that is just ridiculous. Also there is only one human race: 18th century charlatans/bigots who used of all things phrenology as evidence have duped most of humanity every since that their are more than one human race. most modern day anthropologists are in agreement that there is only one race:Homosapien. Welcome to the 21st century.

I won't be responding again. In the future I would suggest that you refrain from trying to control what people type on the internet regardless of how uncomfortable what you read may makes you: It is at best a futile endeavor and you can only control yourself, however upset not being able to control others makes you it is indeed true.

Also: There are no different races only one human race but there is indeed bigotry in the comic and movie industry and in the television industry. There I have brought it up again: perhaps you should begin drafting your formal letter now.

@Guardiandevil83: I'm voting for Bishop! He could tie into the Days of Future Past storyline and is certainly far more interesting than most of the other returning characters.

(And I do agree with every point you make & think that things still need to CHANGE! The problem is very much the writing!)

Very nice illustration too = thanks for sharing!

While I am excited for a new "X" movie, I lament the decision to put Singer back in the director's chair. I feel like we started to go somewhere then its going to be the same old, same old. X2 was iffy, X-LS was terrible, wolverine was iffy, First Class was so good...now splat in the same ole sh!te. Ugh. I'll catch it on Netflix later.

Not a fan of this for sure. I had hoped they would bring back Daniel Cudmore for the role of Colossus. But the other three I dont like in the roles they have. Anna Paquin was horrible as Rogue. She was worse than the Carrie-like interpretation of Jean Grey/Pheonix. Ellen page is ok but there's something just missing with her I would prefer Emma Watson or even Ashley Greene in that role. And if it really will be a future timeline present then an older actress could play the role as well maybe Evangeline Lilly could play the future version. Shawn Ashmore looks like he should be in some vampire flick more so than the Xmen. I know its probably hard to get this guy but Ryan Gosling I've always felt ws the better choice for Iceman.

@ccraft: Well that's because Xavier sent his conciousness into a comatose body. Unless he somehow made scott a telepath with great mind control abilities, I don't think so.

why would they allow singer to ruin another x-men movie? The first class series needs to distance itself from that whole bag of crap.

By the look of the comments, everyone wants the entire original cast back, lol.

I for one am glad to see all the originals! :)

Oh, and it'd be cool to see Nightcrawler come back. Definitely.
