Nightcrawler Actually WON’T Be Back For X-Men: Days Of Future Past

By:  Sean O’Connell Get ready for more of the back-and-forth, he-said/she-said rumors and hearsay surrounding Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, which has become a steady manufacturer of half-truths, misdirections and unstable confirmations over the past few days. The latest involves actor Alan Cumming and his willingness to return to Singer’s mutant franchise as Nightcrawler, the teleporting blue demon who makes an amazing “Bampf” sound when … Continue reading Nightcrawler Actually WON’T Be Back For X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Alan Cumming Back As Nightcrawler For X-Men: Days Of Future Past

By:  Kristy Puchko With a plotline poised to have the worlds of the X-Men trilogy and the ’60s-set X-Men: First Class collide, X-Men: Days of Future Past plans to incorporate cast members from both chronologies.

Sentinels Will Be A Major Part Of X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Sentinels Will Appear In Next X-Men Movie, Says Mark Millar

By: Kristy Puchko First came X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, each chronicling the battle for the future of mutants, between Professor X and Magneto. Then came the forgettable X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which served as a sloppy prequel. Next came the more carefully constructed prequel X-Men: First Class, which gave background to the trilogy’s key adversaries, and origins to some of its other memorable … Continue reading Sentinels Will Appear In Next X-Men Movie, Says Mark Millar

X-Men: First Class Sequel Confirmed As Days Of Future Past

By: Eric Eisenberg If you’re going to make a comic book movie, why not use material from the greatest source material available?
