Singer Says Days Of Future Past Will Explore Magneto Conflict

Bryan Singer has revealed that X-Men: Days Of Future Past will continue to focus on the Professor X / Magneto relationship, taking advantage of the multiple timelines to explore the evolution of the friends as they become enemies.

The director told Digital Spy: "Because I have both Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender in the picture, we'll deal with both sides of that point of view. It really explores the relationship between Xavier and Magneto and the evolution of that relationship - where it came from, and where it's going."

Singer went on to reveal his excitement at returning to the X-verse, and confirmed the film will be shot in 3D.

"I have a certain style when I approach the X-Men films," he said. "This one's going to be a much larger canvas, it takes place during multiple times, it has an enormous cast and there's also some science fiction aspects to it that we haven't seen yet in X-Men films.

"I'll probably bring a bit of my own, old school tone to this one. I'm very excited about it, I can't wait to get started."

Just thinking about it gives us the tingles.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is scheduled for release on July 18 next year.
