After the critical and box office success of X-Men: First Class it was inevitable that there would be a sequel. Well now we have a title AND a release date for said sequel.
According to "IGN" and producer Bryan Singer, the sequel will be titled X-Men: Days of Future Past. Now if that title sounds odd it's because it's probably meant to. Apparently the title refers to a two part story arc published in "Uncanny X-Men" back in 1981. (And no I didn't know that off the top of my head. Contrary to popular belief I do have somewhat of a life.)
The story "deals with a dystopian alternative future where mutants are incarcerated in internment camps." It also involves time travel to "prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria."
Let's see. Mutants? Check. Hot mutants? Check. Dystopian sci-fi plotline? Check. Time travel? Check. Social relevance? Check. Yeah, I'm all in on this one.
Filming is slated to begin this January with a release date of July 18th, 2014.
