The film begins in an “apocalyptic future,” which in this case is the year 2023 (oof!). X-Men: Days of Future Past is a pretty nifty movie that basically erases the events of the much-maligned X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins from its cinematic universe while making the most of its high-powered cast. Then the creators came up with a pretty mind-bending idea: what if they could stuff Stewart, McKellan, McAvoy, and Fassbender all in the same movie by jumping back-and-forth in time? The studio released a prequel movie called X-Men: First Class in 2011 that told the origin story of the super-team with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender playing young versions of Professor X and Magneto. After a Wolverine spinoff movie called X-Men: Origins failed to connect with critics, Fox decided a refresh was in order. In the early 2000s, 20th Century Fox made three X-Men movies (X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand) with a cast that included Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Ian McKellan as Magneto.
