X-Men: Days of Future's Past

<< < (3/18) > >>

Blue Kitty:
Yeah, I thought that Wolverine thing was weird too. While I was incredibly excited watching the trailer I was wondering, "Why is this centering around Wolverine again." Though has Kitty even been born yet?

Jimmy the Squid:
From the trailer it sounds like Future Logan's consciousness will be transferred into his past self's body whereas in the comic I think it was just full bodily time travel. Frankly in a film featuring super powered mutants and giant robot killing machines and time travel I don't think they need to quibble about what method of time travel is more believable.

But in answer to your question, no. Kitty would have only been born 16-18 years prior to the events of The Last Stand so if that's the method of time travel they're depicting they wouldn't be able to use her.

Blue Kitty:
Wiki says the Future Kitty was sent back into her younger body.

And holy fuck

--- Quote ---The storyline alternates between present day of 1980, in which the X-Men fight Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline, taking place in 2013, is caused by the X-Men's failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly

Jimmy the Squid:
Yeah but you have to think about the timelines in the film series.

X-Men 1 came out in 2000 and was set in the "not too distant future". They don't give a year but we can assume it's supposed to be anywhere between say 2005 to 2010. X-Men 2 came out 2003 and is set about 6 months to a year after X-Men 1. The Last Stand (2006) is set about a year after X-Men 2. That's where Kitty Pryde is introduced, she's about 16 or 17 in that one so we can guess that she would have been born sometime between 1986 to 1990. First Class was set in 1962 with Days of Future Past set some time in the 1970s and probably 2020s.

I think the important thing to remember about the Days of Future Past storyline and the way that time travel works in the MU is that the future that Wolverine comes back from is not the follow on from what we've seen in the previous films. Rather the whole point of sending him back is to ensure that that future does not happen. I don't know if they're going to introduce anything about the Multiverse in this film, I suspect that will be too complex.

Blue Kitty:
Oh no, I meant that the timeline in the original comic was 2013, which is also the year the movie is released.
