The Sentinels are here!
Today, we got our first glimpse of the purple robots the X-Men will be going up against in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer’s sequel to 2011’s X-Men: First Class. The photos, taken at Comic-Con, come courtesy of /Film and IGN.
As a HUGE fan of Matthew Vaughn’s First Class, I’m super pumped for Days of Future Past. Bringing together the First Class characters along with their older selves from the original X-Men trilogy should already make for an exciting film, but then you add in the Sentinels, which were briefly teased in X-Men: The Last Stand, and we could be in for something special.
I really like the look of the Sentinels, although I hope they’re much bigger like in the comics and they get the faceplate like we’re used to. And making matters even cooler is that Peter Dinklage will be playing their creator, Bolivar Trask.
X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters on May 23, 2014.
