X men days of future past 2014 cast8/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Whew! It’s a story with so many moving pieces in terms of sheer volume of both character and plot, it could easily have proved an incomprehensible slog even for Marvel True Believers. There is, once again, the imminent threat of persecution-deadlier this time-under a fearful governing body, led by a comically jowly Nixon (Mark Camacho). Like the aforementioned first two, Days of Future Past sees a return of humans as the primary villains. After being joined by Wolverine (the inestimable franchise V.I.P, Hugh Jackman), Kitty Pride (Ellen Page) is able to transport his consciousness back to his younger body (the rest of the team’s minds could never survive the trip) in order to convince a young Xavier (James McAvoy) to help him stop Mystique (Lawrence) from assassinating Trask-the very event which ended up most responsible for the Sentinels program being officially launched. Beginning in the not-too-far-flung future, the last vestiges of Professor Xavier’s (Stewart) X-Men are barely escaping a series of attacks from the mutant-eradicating Sentinels, originally designed 50 years prior by the extermination-minded Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage, revealing shades of Heinrich Himmler, as well as echoing themes from the first X-Men). It also functions as compelling evidence that Singer’s DNA may just house a special mutant power of its own.Īmidst a sprawling all-star cast including Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, Oscar-winning actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry-as well as a slew of other Oscar nominees-the latest entry in the super-powered franchise (loosely) adapts one of the original comics’ most memorable, twisty arcs.
