Ever since filming began, Bryan Singer has been hard at work tweeting pictures of his new X-Men: Days of Future Past.  We’ve been graced with pictures of all sorts of folks thus far, though a few still remain.  Earlier today we here at Nerd Bastards sent you a pic of Hugh Jackman looking a little bit disheveled.  Now, here’s one more pic, this time of young Professor X, AKA James McAvoy.

Seems like they got him all dressed up like a reject from a 90s grunge band.  Either that or the singer of a successful modern-day indie band.  But whatever…  Stay tuned for even more pics as we feed them to you.

Thanks to ComicBookMovie for the heads-up.

Admit it, leaked set photos can be really lame. Often blurry and out of focus, band angles and long before the finishing touches that make movie magic happen. Spoilers in the truest definition of the word. What follows is definitely all that and more, and must be shared.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, purported to be taken on the Montreal set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past as found on the Russian fansite/shrine/stalker headquarters, Hughjackmania (careful how you type that URL.) They show Logan in a casual state of mind… like extra casual. Maybe he just ate a big meal? (more…)

I saw Iron Man 3 in 3-D and I have to say that I’d much rather have seen it in 2-D. It seems to be the rare movie that’s able to make the jump to that third screen dimension, but Hollywood will be damned rather than stop trying so here we go again, this time with X-Men: Days of Future Past.

X-Men director Bryan Singer had this to Tweet earlier today, “Shooting native 3D and Simul-cam. Looks like friggin mission control.”

He also Tweeted this picture.

Huh, it does look like mission control. Hopefully, it’s all for not and the 3-D looks awesome. I won’t hold my breathe though.

Days of Future Past, based on the classic comic by Chris Claremont and John Bryne, and starring Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, and Peter Dinklage is scheduled to be released on July 18, 2014.

More news as it develops.

James Mangold‘s The Wolverine trailer was shown at CinemaCon 2013 a couple of weeks ago, now it’s hit the Internet and you can take a look below. It’s full of lots of interesting tidbits that should get Wolverine fans excited, including the first quick and shadowy looks at the Silver Samurai costume.

Here are the two frames that show what we can see of the Silver Samurai. In the first panel he looks three times the size of Wolverine, but it’s more like twice since Wolverine is on his knees in that shot. It’s obviously not traditional Japanese armor, it looks like a cross between that and some Iron Man tech.

The sword looks to be on fire, but that’s the Tachyon field that Kenuichio Harada (Silver Samurai) can create using his mutant powers. He usually wraps the field around his sword, making it able to cut through anything like butter, anything except adamantium. I’m wondering if we’ll see him use the teleportation ring from the comics as well.

What do you think? What are you looking forward to in this latest Wolverine movie?

This is going to be a hell of a summer of movies.

Bryan Singer continues to keep fans in the mix with another X-Men: Days of Future Past on set Twitter picture tease of Hugh Jackman in the Wolverine’s leather jacket. It’s just not an X-Men movie without Wolverine, he’s been in every movie so far, even if it was only to spout out a quick, “Go F@%& Yourself.” We don’t get to see Jackman’s face in the picture, but Singer sent the picture out with the message:

“Fitting @RealHughJackman.”

There’s no mistaking that box headed hair cut though. The jacket is missing that bomber jacket wool lining that was so iconic in the original comic, but perhaps this is the jacket for the present day Wolverine.

What do you think? I can’t wait to find out what Peter Dinklage’s actual role is and see some Sentinels in all their glorious robot action. I also can’t wait to see all the Real Steel / Jackman / Wolverine memes that should start hitting the internet so you’d better get started on those.

What are you looking forward to in X-Men: Days of Future Past?

The painter, who previously did work on the Winnie the Pooh/Star Wars paintings has done a series of incredible paints featuring Doctor Who‘s  9th, 10th and 11th doctors. Curse you for making us feel emotion, James. [Nerd Apporved]

So far, the majority of the announced cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past have been returning mutants, but what about new mutants. Well hint, hint, Bryan Singer‘s dropped a little knowledge on us this morning in the form of a Vine video. The 6-second clip from the social networking site reveals several directors chairs with the names of various X-Men characters on them. So we get to see names like “Magneto,” “Storm,” “Kitty Pryde,” “Bobby ‘Iceman’ Drake,” and… Wait, what’s that? “Bishop,” and “James ‘Warpath’ Proudstar?!

To the uninitiated, Warpath is the brother of John Proudstar, a mutant who went by the code name Thunderbird and joined the X-Men after the original team was kidnapped by Krakoa, the living island. Thunderbird was killed on another mission a short time later, but his brother James would go on to join the upstart mutant group X-Force. Bishop, meanwhile, is a refugee from the future where mutants were rounded up into concentration camps by Sentinels. After being liberated, Bishop joined a group of mutant cops only to end up going back in time to the 20th century during the pursuit of a mutant fugitive.

So who’s playing Bishop and Warpath? Well, French actor Omar Sy was already rumored to be playing Bishop in the film, and Booboo Stewart, by virtue of being Native American, is probably a safe bet for Warpath.

Days of Future Past is currently in production for a July 18, 2014 release. The film co-stars Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, and Peter Dinklage.

Bryan Singer, director of First Class follow-up, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, has revealed Halle Berry’s new Storm costume today on Twitter.

Berry has played the weather-controlling African mutant, Ororo Munroe in 3 X-Men films so far. Singer‘s new film has given her shorter hair and a pretty badass new outfit…we’ll see if her fourth performance as Storm brings anything equally novel to the movie.

Halle Berry joins an ensemble cast which includes Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Daniel Cudmore, Adan Canto, Fan Bingbing and Boo Boo Stewart.

It’s due to open on July 18th, 2014.

It’s about time for some more news from the X-Men: Days of Future Past front, and this time it has to do with yet another casting addition.  They’ve already got about 100 people lined up to play mutants it seems, but one more guy will be coming along for the ride, actor Adan Canto of The Following.

While at a hockey game in Montreal (where the movie will be filming), director Bryan Singer tweeted this picture:

Of course, the real question is who will Canto be playing?  The only clue we have thus far is a tweet that Canto sent out a few weeks back.  When asked about his upcoming projects, he replied:

I might turn into a ball of fire if someone pisses me off.

Based on Canto’s smooth Latino handsomeness, the money so far is on him jumping into the shoes of Sunspot.  Any body else out there have any better guesses?

Thanks to BleedingCool for the heads-up.

There’s been a release of Hi Res production stills from James Mangold‘s The Wolverine to the Internet, a good mix of new and already seen stills, but in the much crisper Hi Res format. The ninja snow fight looks incredible, and I can’t wait to see some of the Cosplay for Viper and Silver Samurai that will come out of this movie.

I do think it is very interesting that we have not seen a good still of the Silver Samurai yet, Mangold and his marketing team seem to be holding that one back to increase the thrills and chills of a theater screening. The fight between Wolverine and the Silver Samurai should be epic.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, the film takes Wolverine (Jackman) to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world, he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality.

The Wolverine claws it’s way onto theater screens on July 26th, starring Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee.
