Warning: Spoilers for Days of Future Past
The Vulture got some exclusive information regarding Days of Future Past. You can read it all here but this is part that interests me the most:
In Singer’s take, Ellen Page returns as Kitty from the Brett Ratner–directed X-Men: The Last Stand, but this time she uses her powers to send Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine back into the past, where he encounters the younger mutants played by James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, and Michael Fassbender. However, something bad happens to Kitty during the time-travel trance, and while Wolverine is still under her spell, the other X-Men must race to find a mutant who can siphon Kitty’s powers and bring their friend back to the future. Could that be the plot development that brings Anna Paquin’s power-copying Rogue into the fold once again?
First off: Totally called it that Wolverine was going to be the time traveler. I was thrown a bit with Bishop being included, and I suppose there could be a surprise twist there and Bishop be another time traveler… but we’ll see. Should be interesting to see how Logan reacts to the younger version of the characters, how much will he reveal of the future?
Secondly: Rogue! Rogue? The siphon power thing does sound like a job for a powered Rogue, but the question is, if she isn’t already hanging around with them when they attempt it the first time… then where the hell is she? Did her powers come back or not (Singer hinted that maybe she didn’t)? Did she leave the X-Men over the Bobby/Kitty thing? Have they devolved her character even further to someone who is out nursing a broken heart? Or is she simply out with a different team kicking loads of butt like she should have been in the first place? So many questions! So may possibilities! So many chances for this go to horribly wrong…
I have a suspicion that Rogue may have joined the Brotherhood. Or whatever qualifies as the Brotherhood in this time.
That crossed my mind too.. would be a nice twist.
Rogue should make a phone call during the movie at some point and all the audience should hear is sometone say “cherie”. If we can’t see Gambit we should at least hear him
Oh yeah, we need some little reference to Gambit at the very least! Though I’m afraid we probably won’t… 😦
[…] also already told us Wolvie is the time traveler and give us the core of the whole time travel plot. They could have held back on that too, again, […]
