Bryan Singer Talks ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’,Says He’s Going To “Correct A Few Things”

While speaking with Hit Fix doing promotion for Jack The Giant Slayer, director Bryan Singer spoke more about the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past, which begins shooting in April. This time around Singer stated that Days Of Future Past is more of its own thing than an actual sequel.

“This movie’s gonna be not only quite epic, ‘Days of Future Past,’ but it also takes place in completely different times than the ‘X-Men’ movies have taken place. There’ll be new technology, new things we haven’t seen before in ‘X-Men’ films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn’t be done yet, so it’s not so much sequel. It’s more of its own kinda thing.”

One of the biggest problems fans have had with the X-films has been some continuity errors ( there are a few major ones), and some had wondered if they were rebooting the series with X-Men: First Class (which Singer was a producer on). Well, it appears that Singer may be out to fix some of these problems. When asked if the film was a sort-of reset for the franchise, Singer stated with a smile:

“I’ll be able to correct a few things.”

Well, hopefully one of those things is correcting how Scott Summers got the shaft in X3. We’re just saying.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is set to hit theaters July 18th, 2014.
