The X-Men: First Class sequel is officially going to be Days of Future Past

There are only a few X-Men storylines that stand out in my memory as being particularly great. The Dark Phoenix Saga was decent, but Days of Future Past was totally epic. I remember reading that and thinking that I was reading something that transcended its peers. I hope they really tackle that story and fully realize it. First Class was pretty decent and I think that team could do the story justice.

Rumored earlier this week, the sequel to 2011’s X-Men: First Class is officially titled X-Men: Days of Future Past. IGN scored a confirmation directly from the film’s producer, Bryan Singer.

“It’s called ‘Days of Future Past’,” he told the site. “It deals with aspects of that comic, but also some very new things.”

The comic book storyline, “Days of Future Past” ran in “Uncanny X-Men” #141 and 142 way back in 1981 during Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s run and introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel’s mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.
