Analysing The New Trailer For 'X-Men Days Of Future Past'
The new trailer for the upcoming ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ has just landed and now we’re more excited than ever. The film won’t hit theatres until May 23rd but while we’re left waiting there’s plenty in this new trailer to get excited for. So now, who can’t wait for ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’?
As Professor X lets us know, the mutants are now on the ‘edge of extinction’ and we see images of some of our favourite X-men including, Wolverine, Magneto, Colossus and Mystique in all of their mutant glory. We then see Wolverine scream in pain as they prepare to delve into the past, which brings us back to the X-Mansion where the young Charles Xavier has gone underground, presumably to begin to reunite the X-Men. In order to have a chance at success Professor X and Magneto will have to get on the same page. We do see them in a shot together but it’s more interesting for other reasons. Mainly Quicksilver can be seen standing in the background wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. Also noteworthy is that James McAvoy appears to be standing up, leading us to wonder how they’re going to fit that one in.
Next we’re transported to a military base, presumably in Vietnam, where Mystique is back to her old shape shifting tricks, presumably on some sort of solo mission, which at a later point seems to lead her to Paris. On a side note, things don’t look good for her and Magneto.
Next page: Sunspot, looking awesome.
Also get ready because as Bryan Singer had teased, Magneto is going to retrieve that anti-telepathy helmet. From what we can see it seems the war against mutants is well and truly on and an anti-mutant movement has risen up led by Bolivar Trask, the creator of the Sentinels. At one point he seems to be holding a pretty big rally which appears to be interrupted by Magneto. Later Magneto, who is once again all suited up, is shown tearing apart a big stadium.
What’s also great is that from this trailer we now have pretty good look at the new mutants and their abilities. Really looking awesome is Sunspot who's shown going into full on fire mode as he attacks the Sentinels. There’s also Blink, Bishop, Kitty Pride and Warpath making their debut appearances.
Really it seems the effects for this one are pretty awesome, case in point being Iceman. So expect plenty of incredible effects and amped up CGI. All in all this is a pretty good trailer that gets us suitably excited for the upcoming movie. Really how can we complain? Mixing the old and new is certainly a good way to keep everybody happy. It looks like for the next two months we’re just going to have to rewatching this one as we wait for the summer of blockbusters to commence.
