The foundations of the entire film rest on the story and whether or not audiences will consider it one worth being told. The script for the film was written by Matthew Vaughn, Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz, and Jane Goldman. The direction is incredible, the writing equally important, the acting never misses a moment, and the production design outdoes anything found in any of the previous X-Men outings. X-Men: First Class is even superior to them in many regards. X-Men: First Class is a solid return to form for the series and it is actually on-par with the first two X-Men feature films. The X-Men film franchise seemed to be heading in a direction that wasn't going to satisfy most fans (whether they were readers of the comics or only viewers of the feature films). X-Men Origins: Wolverine? The series was seemingly heading nowhere and fast. Luckily, the studio listened to the fans and delivered the follow-up. The franchise seemed to have forgotten what made the stories so compelling and refreshing to moviegoers in the first place. X-Men: The Last Stand opened worldwide to decidedly mixed results. the comic books fans, film buffs, and regular multiplex attendees. Then something seriously unfortunate happened: the X-Men series began to irritate almost everyone. Bryan Singer was the perfect choice as the film-maker to bring the franchise to audiences worldwide. X-Men and X2: X-Men United were both incredibly entertaining and rewarding cinematic experiences that managed to satisfy audiences with intelligent storytelling, direction, and superb craftsmanship. With a backdrop of real-world politics and government during the 1960's (altered at some points for storytelling effect) X-Men: First Class also features Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) as a man determined to begin another world war that these X-Men must unite against in order to save the world. Over the course of the film the story unfolds with these characters as young adults: Xavier (James McAvoy), Erik (Michael Fassbender), and Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) are given the proper screen time for their characters stories to be properly told and in a dramatically relevant way. Viewers are also given an early glimpse of Mystique and the back-stories behind several X-Men characters never before seen in the film franchise. Likewise, the youthful Professor X (Charles Xavier) is brought forth and viewers get a chance to see the beginnings of a gifted leader. The story reintroduces the origin of Magneto as a child and gives a more thorough understanding of the character. So, you may see some of that, I don’t know.” Check out the video below to see the full interview, click here to read why we think using this storyline makes sense, and let us know your thoughts on Days of Future Past in the comments below.X-Men: First Class is a prequel film that takes place a few decades before the events that occurred in Bryan Singer's X-Men and X2: X-Men United. “The X-Men universe is every bit on its own as big as the Marvel universe, and I think that it’s time to reach out and explore it and perhaps bring some connectivity between the films as Marvel has done so well. Obviously this is just speculation at the moment, and as with the previous X-Men movies, the filmmakers might just be using this concept as a jumping off point to tell their own story, but we nevertheless asked Singer if there would be any chance of crossover on this front: “I think there’s a strong desire to broaden out the universe” he explained. This means that the movie could potentially tell parallel stories – Godfather: Part II style – with the Bryan Singer X-Men of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen starring in the future story and the Matthew Vaughn cast of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender appearing in the present (or past, depending on when they decide to pitch the timeline). In response, Rachel Summers sends an older Kitty Pryde's mind back to her younger, present-day self to forewarn the X-Men about the horrors that await them, and the political assassination that triggers it all. Set in a dystopian future in which Sentinels rule the United States, the X-Men – along with all mutants – are incarcerated in concentration camps. Matthew Vaughan will be directing and I’m totally excited about it.” So what is Days of Future Past? For those who haven’t been following the X-Men for the last 30 years, it’s a storyline that was first published in 1981 and deals with alternate timelines. It’s called Days of Future Past and it deals with aspects of that comic but also some very new things but I don’t want to give any of it away. Singer exclusively told IGN that the script is being written now, adding “It’s going to be very ambitious.
