Mark Millar has been talking up the forthcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, explaining that the superhero sequel will have a very definite Terminator vibe.
The Kick-Ass co-creator – who has just been installed as the chief consultant on Fox’s Marvel movies – spoke to SFX (via Total Film) about Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class sequel.
"Vaughn is going for a big sci-fi style thing with X-Men: Days of Future Past" he revealed. "It's X-Men meets The Terminator.
"You've got robots, you've got time travel, you've got superheroes - it's got everything in one film."
Could this mean the iconic Sentinels will be making an appearance in the movie? Whatever the case, it sounds like the scope will be bigger than part one.
"Cost-wise it's going to go up, and ambitious-wise it's gone up," Millar explained. "But Vaughn can handle it. Vaughn made Kick-Ass for $28 million."
And it sounds like Millar is planning continuity for the universe, telling SFX in a separate story: “Fox have said that they want to build a cohesive universe and I’d personally like this to work in complement to the Marvel one. It would be cool if these universes didn’t contradict each other so if you went to see Spidey, The Avengers, the X-Men, etc, as a viewer you would have no idea that all three are coming from different studios. I’d love to make it look like they’re all just happening in one place.”
Chris Tilly is the Entertainment Editor for IGN in the UK and heard this Terminator connection from another source last night. He can be found on both Twitter and MyIGN.
