20th Century Fox has dropped the first official teaser trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past, the time-twerking prequel-sequel that attempts to bind the entire cluttered mutant movie series together, and presumably based on the classic, seminal comic book story arc of the same name.
The epic new trailer features the return of pretty much every major character from the X-Men screen franchise -- including both past and present versions of Professor Xavier, Magneto and the rest of the gang -- as well as some new faces. Note the quick glimpses of Fan Bingbing and BooBoo Stewart. Check it out:
In case you, ahem, blinked and missed her, that was Fan Bingbing as Blink:
And Booboo Stewart as Warpath:
After some major missteps with these movies, this is an epic opportunity to course-correct the franchise. I am not-so-secretly hoping that the time travel conceit is director Bryan Singer's attempt at ret-conning the whole the thing and erasing the events of X-Men: The Last Stand into oblivion. Like it never happened.
