the x-men return to theaters this week with a sequel to the reboot that's now cannon to an earlier trilogy that may or may not matter now he's giving me that one more time please stay with i'm russell brandom and this is 90 seconds on the verge Days of Future past is the seventh x-men film from Fox in 14 years based loosely on the comic book storyline of the same name the movie has Wolverine traveled back in time to stop the creation of the Sentinel robots that by 2023 render mutants extinct in humans of press in the comics whose kitty pryde who traveled but whatever it's a direct sequel to 2011's first class a reboot set in the early 60s but seeing as time travels involved it's also a chance to bring back the pass to the first three films that means to Professor X's and two magnets just one Wolverine them Hugh Jackman is ageless Days of Future past also marks the return of director Bryan Singer who held the first two excellent films he then went on a directed disappointing Superman reboot while Brett Ratner stepped in for the equally disappointing x men the last stand so the original cast returns but what about the story where does the original trilogy fit frankly that isn't clear is it still canon or does it live in some alternate timeline like JJ Abrams Star Trek movies in this case do yourself a favor put her side logic regardless the x-men series will live on Fox is already planning two more films including a sequel called apocalypse due out in 2016 expect many more to follow just remember no matter what there's one linchpin one constant face through it all excuse me i'm erik lehnsherr to examine yourself for more on x-men check out the verb coming up a new daredevil Phil just kidding I would be terrible
