Mark Millar, the man charged with the task of overseeing 20th Century Fox’s Marvel properties, has been spilling the beans on the forthcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Speaking to SFX, Millar said, “I don’t want to give too much away but the Sentinels are a big feature of this story. They will be cool and this will deliver on all of the teasers. We’ve all been waiting for this ever since X-Men: The Last Stand showed us one of their heads. Now it is finally coming, and we only have to pay ten quid to see it in the cinemas whereas they’re having to pay $100m to deliver it. So I’m delighted.”
Millar also reckons that director Bryan Singer is just the man to bring the many characters of the two X-Men universes together.
“It has actually been very well put together,” he explained. “Simon Kinberg and Matthew Vaughn worked on it together and they are both great at what they do. Then Bryan Singer came in, and, of course, he is Mr X-Men and he knows exactly how everything works. Just look at these first two X-Men movies: despite the huge cast of characters it all came together really well.
"These two movies never felt like overload and the balance was really, really good. On the other hand I though the third film felt crowded, but then Singer is excellent at working with ensemble casts. So with this one I feel it is all fine. I have read the screenplay and it doesn’t feel rushed and it doesn’t feel like it is too many characters.”
As for whether fan favourite Kitty Pryde will have a more substantial role in this one, Millar simply said, “Kitty Pryde fans will not be disappointed.”
