That's pretty cool. Have they announced who is playing the Human Torch yet?

When did that happen? I can't find that info anywhere. I know he was being considered in the first movie but it never happened. Right now there are only 7 confirmed cast members. Stewart, McKellen, McAvoy, Fassbender, Hoult, Lawrence, and Flemyng

You realize he was almost in the first movie right so this is not that big a leap?http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1643923/taylor-lautner-was-approached-x-men-first-class-bryan-singer.jhtmlThere had also been a rumor the 18-year-old was approached for a role in "X-Men: First Class," Marvel's adaptation of the comic series that follows the young mutants as they enroll in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Turns out that rumor was actually true, as producer Bryan Singer revealed over the weekend.

Pretty good teaser for this in the credits of The Wolverine.
The Wolverine itself was pretty good. A huge step up from the previous Wolverine, but not as good as the better X-films (X2, First Class).

Are any of the previous movies tossed out as far as story goes for this?

Nope. Singer has said that they all count, that they all happened, but that none of it really matters after this. So... yeah. Time travel. Ugh.Are any of the previous movies tossed out as far as story goes for this?

All 6 previous movies are in play.Are any of the previous movies tossed out as far as story goes for this?First trailer is out. This looks like it could be confusinghttp://youtu.be/pK2zYHWDZKo
We know Magneto gets his powers back at the end of XMen 3 (which means Rogue probably did as well) and we know Xavier transfered his consciousness to another body before dieing. They just need to explain how he got his original looks back (clone or what ever)
This movie picks up where the end credits in The Wolverine left off.

Doesn't Wolverine Origins kind of not lineup with First Class? Prof. X walked in Wolverine, no?

There are going to be a few inconsistencies but nothing major. They can always explain the walking scene as Xaviers mental projection instead him really being there or something like that. First Class has plenty of small inconsistencies with the first 4 movies.So I need to see The Wolverine?All 6 previous movies are in play.

The Wolverine was a pretty good movie, unlike Wolverine Origin, so it is worth seeing.
If you are not interested then just seek out the ending after the credits on youtube if you want.

Wolverine is aging now? Does that have something to do with The Wolverine?

Well, I think this looks like a mess, but in fairness it's hard for me to remember the last X universe film I liked.
The first two were acceptable but have aged badly. I enjoyed First Class for as long as it followed Micheal Fassbender on his quest for revenge and got bored almost as soon as he met Xavier.
Thought the best thing to say about the second Wolverine movie was that it wasn't the first Wolverine movie.

that movie is the worst of the bunch, by far. ETA: I have this confused with the first one. Haven't seen the 2nd.I actually liked First Class more than the rest of the X-verse except maybe the first X.
DOFP just looks confusing and ripe for criticism unless you're willing to look past inconsistencies

Considering what a gigantic mess Fox made out of this franchise save First Class, which still had problems sticking to the source material and had some woefully bad casting choices for the parts of Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost in particular, I can't say a reboot via time travel a la Star Trek (2009) is a bad idea at all.

Xmen 2

The Wolverine
Xmen 3
Xmen Origins: Wolverine
I am hoping Days of Future Past will be closer to the top 4 than the bottom 2.

It will likely be a pretty small role with the massive size of the cast. Hopefully the movie will run at least 150 minutes to give some screen time to the various characters.
I have never heard of the guy who is playing Bishop either. Looking at his IMDB page, he has done a lot of work but most of it looks to be in French films.

I threw up in my mouth a little :(
After First Class I rate about all the X-Men movies equally in how bad they were.
First class on the other hand was amazing and Days of Future Past looks like it will be amazing.

No they decided it would be cheaper to place a cardboard cutout of Emma Forst in scenes and still achieve the same effect.

Ah, thanks. Frost was definitely in the DFP comic series, but I can see how they could drop her and the whole Hellfire Club if needed given how much they have to work with.

Right, but the Hellfire Club, based in London, was in the story. But you may be right as I think the Red Queen was the co-ruler. Been a while since I read those issues, which are around here somewhere and in NM condition too. I might check. Anyway, the whole HC plot was highly ancillary, Frost or not, and is an obvious cut.No, she wasn't. DFP was the X-Men vs. Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants - Blob, Avalanche, Pyro, Destiny.

NM, I just figured it out. She figured prominently in the Wolverine DFP offshoot series, but not in the two main Uncanny X-Men books. Sorry for my confusion.

I thought there was a second DFP storyline that involved Bishop and maybe Cable. Seemed like there was a lot in the trailer that made me think it wasn't that classic DFP story.No, she wasn't.
