With mutants on the edge of extinction due to their systematic elimination by the Sentinel program, long-time enemies Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) realize the only way forward for their survival is to unite themselves in the past. The man to convince their younger selves (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, respectively) this must happen is fan favorite and all around bad-ass Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). As the first trailer and now this second trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past clearly shows us is this task is easier said than done. But explaining the future situation to be dire to those with wounds so fresh should add a nice emotional layer to the pyrotechnics of this sequel (a lot of new faces are expected to make an appearance and an exit). Hopefully, the alteration of the timeline through time travel stays true to the story though — too often it opens glaring inconsistencies in previous films. You won’t find any issues in the embedded trailer, however, so check it out and enjoy!
See the first trailer here: X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer #1.
X-Men: Days of Future Past stars Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Evan Peters, Ellen Page, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Nicholas Hoult.

You ain’t alone brother. She meets her end in the comics during this timeline so hopefully Singer sticks faithfully to the source.

No way their giving up that reveal 15 seconds into a trailer. She isn’t going to die.

A man can hope, can’t he?

It’s why casting choices are so important. The wrong person can absolutely kill a role and it is clear Halle Berry was all wrong for Storm. She was given the role because she is a beautiful black actress with name recognition not because she was the ideal choice to portray a powerful superhero who masters the weather.

+1 for taking the focus away from Wolverine, finally. +100 for looking fucking awesome.

I’m not going to lie and say this trailer doesn’t look great but I’m still having a hard time believing it isn’t going to toss aside the dramatic stuff in favor of big explosions.

Favorite good & bad mutants from the past and present is going to make for a killer show. I’m buying my advanced tickets now!

Please, be good and in doing so be better than Captain America The Winter Soldier and Spider-man 2. X-Men was a favorite of mine growing up.

With Green Goblin, Electro, Rhino, the Sinister Six tease and the possible death of Gwen Stacy, nothing is going to touch Spider-man 2.

Not so bad. I like the path the story is following. This may be just enough to force me to see this now.

I got all goosebumpy watching this.

Although I’m a big fan of the Xmen I can’t stand their costumes. Nothing about them screams superhero or supervillain. They scream lame off-Broadway throwaway.

Magneto owns them all.
