This X-Men: Days Of Future Past VFX Breakdown Is The Best I’ve Ever Seen

It takes a lot of computers to turn actors into a naked, blue Jennifer Lawrence, as this absolutely stunning VFX breakdown for Digital Domain, who worked on X-Men: Days of Future Past proves.

How Days Of Future Past Pulled Off Those Amazing Quicksilver VFX

One of the coolest special effects in X-Men: Days of Future Past was the Quicksilver “frozen time” effect where the character is moving so quickly that everything around him seems to move in super slow-motion. In this video, director Bryan Singer explains how they achieved the effect. Unfortunately, this video doesn’t go into quite as…

Storm And Wolverine Kiss In An Outtake From X-Men: Days Of Future Past

While Logan and Storm don’t actually kiss in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman do share a peck in costume in this slightly goofy outtake from the film. It looks like this may have been a moment that the actors did for the blooper reel. It’ll be fun to see more…

Keep Track of Game of Thrones Characters Using X-Men-Inspired Art

There have been other takes on the famous Days of Future Past cover, but this one is interactive. Comfort and Adam has made a Game of Thrones-by-way-of-Days of Future Past poster and printable “apprehended”/”Slain”/blank banners for you to put on characters’ faces. It’s both fun and depressing.

The Many Easter Eggs Of X-Men: Days Of Future Past Revealed

Most X-Fans will likely know most of the trivia and comic references that packed Days of Future Past, but this six-minute video still probably has a few you missed. For instance, the deleted Rogue scene it describes sounds pretty great — I’m kind of sad it wasn’t included. I bet Anna Paquin is, too. Although…

Watch X-Men: Days Of Future Cats Right This Minute

Well, it should be titled X-Men: Days Of Future Cats. Also, I think the lack of an appearance by Cat-lossus or Kitten Pryde is a travesty. Still: adorable. By the way, if this video were somehow Marvel comics canon, it still wouldn’t crack the top 10 of the most ridiculous X-Men adventures. Just sayin’. [Via…

New X-Men trailer shows the awesome Sentinels from the future

I read Days of Future Past—the X-Men two-book-saga by writer Chris Claremont, penciler John Byrne and inker Terry Austin—back when it first came out in the 1980s. Based on the new trailer, it seems that is has some key moments from it. Like when Storm gets killed? At least, that looks awfully similar to her…

Has the new X-Men movie added yet another mutant to the mix? This new still features Evan Peters’ Quicksilver sitting with an unknown, pint-sized red-haired girl on his lap — who could she be other than Quicksilver’s sister Wanda, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch?
