‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Trailer
Two years afterX-Men: First Classand seven years afterX-Men: The Last Stand, we have our first peek at what happens when those two worlds collide. The full-length trailer forX-Men: Days of Future Pasthas just arrived, bearing two Magnetos, two Professor Xaviers, and a whole lot of action. Check it out after the jump.
There’s a lot to absorb in this trailer. There are appearances by several characters from the original trilogy, including the old Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and the old Magneto (Ian McKellen), Storm (Halle Berry), Rogue (Anna Paquin), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), and Kitty (Ellen Page); a bunch of favorites in theirFirst Classincarnation, such as the younger Professor X (James McAvoy) and the younger Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), and Beast (Nicholas Hoult);plusa whole lot of new characters including Bishop (Omar Sy), Sunspot (Adan Canto), Warpath (Booboo Stewart), and Blink (Bingbing Fan). Villain Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) also shows up briefly, though he doesn’t get any lines here and his connection to the story is unexplained.
What keeps it all hanging together is the strong emotional arc, which is aided in a large part by the music. The tunes you’re listening to, if you’re curious, are John Murphy’s “Adiago in D Minor” fromSunshineand Hans Zimmer’s “Journey to the Line” fromThe Thin Red Line.
