"X-Men Meets Terminator" In Days of Future Past

Mark Millar has been talking up the forthcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, explaining that the superhero sequel will have a very definite Terminator vibe.

The Kick-Ass co-creator – who has just been installed as the chief consultant on Fox’s Marvel movies – spoke to SFX (via Total Film) about Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class sequel.

"Vaughn is going for a big sci-fi style thing with X-Men: Days of Future Past" he revealed. "It's X-Men meets The Terminator.

"You've got robots, you've got time travel, you've got superheroes - it's got everything in one film."

Could this mean the iconic Sentinels will be making an appearance in the movie? Whatever the case, it sounds like the scope will be bigger than part one.

"Cost-wise it's going to go up, and ambitious-wise it's gone up," Millar explained. "But Vaughn can handle it. Vaughn made Kick-Ass for $28 million."

And it sounds like Millar is planning continuity for the universe, telling SFX in a separate story: “Fox have said that they want to build a cohesive universe and I’d personally like this to work in complement to the Marvel one. It would be cool if these universes didn’t contradict each other so if you went to see Spidey, The Avengers, the X-Men, etc, as a viewer you would have no idea that all three are coming from different studios. I’d love to make it look like they’re all just happening in one place.”

Oh strawberry float yes. Proper Sentinels in an X-Men movie, finally. X-Men 3's crappy cameo of one doesn't count.

Factually wrong.

When the most interesting thing about your character is that he's a wife beater then he doesn't make for a very good super hero.

See Mighty Avengers #21-36.

Hank Pym from the Ultimate universe beats his wife, regular Hank Pym slapped his wife once after having a mental breakdown. Interesting fact, in the original script for that issue Pym knocks her over by accident when he turns around but the artist chose to draw something else.

Despite how small a part of things it was, it was still the most interesting thing about him.

Being able to shrink and talk with ants is not an interesting character trait. He's one of those superheroes who's powers are only useful in very specific situations and locations, ie - where there's a lot of ants around.

PLEASE HAVE CABLE PLEASE HAVE CABLE PLEASE HAVE CABLE.

Also Appocolypse would be AWESOME if they did him right in a film.

Cable is gooseberry fool.

Cable is gooseberry fool.

Why am I not surprised.

Relic of the 80s. Glorified, cliched, macho action film character that always feels totally out of place in whatever comic he appears. He's basically a parody character at this point.

Nothing to do with who his dad is?

Besides, I think Marvel has the rights to Cable not Fox.

Oh strawberry float off. I forgot Fox own the X-Men.

They've got exclusive rights to pretty much all mutants apart from Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

Really pisses me off this entire deal. I understand why it happened (Marvel sold the film rights when they were going under right?), but it's really hurting certain series like Fantastic 4 in which I think Marvel could make a decent one.

Yeah the Fantastic Four would fit perfectly into the current Marvel movie universe, especially with all the upcoming cosmic stuff. Not particularly arsed about the X-Men rights any more, but it would be nice to see someone like Whedon have a go at it and actually be faithful to the source material and not make an utter mess of most of the casting.

The direction they're taking 'Days of Future Past' sounds really interesting. Could be pretty good considering Vaughn actually has a heck of a lot more pre-production time to work on things.

Load of new Iron Man 3 pics probably from the trailer tomorrow. First proper look at Iron Patriot as well:

[Venom]

Here's the Iron Man 3 teaser trailer.

It's unlisted on YouTube so can't be embedded. I have put the direct link.

Welcome to a page ago.

And just for kicks, I'll embed it again

er...

[Ginga]

Isn't that a bit daft, seeing as how it can't be anything like the Iron Patriot from the comics? No Norman Osborn.

A bit, it's definitely Rhodey's new armour though as if you enlarge the image you can see Lt Col James Rhodes written by his right arm. Guess they just want an excuse for Rhodey to have a new suit along with Tony, probably for the toys.

Besides, even if Marvel still had all Spidey related rights, it would take a LONG time before they could get to a point that Osborn could become Iron Patriot like he does in the comics.
