Some of the X-Men: Days of Future Past details that you probably didn’t notice. For more than two decades the fascinating characters of the X-Men franchise have entertained us. Now that Disney has control over these characters, we wait to see what happens. But in all the previous time, one of the most well-received X-Men movies was Days of Future Past with a very interesting plot. So on that note here’s a list of some interesting details that you probably missed. Check it out!
1. Trask Foretold Mystique’s Plan
While explaining Mystique’s powers to the President, Trask says, “she can transform into a general, secret serviceman or even you, Mr. President.” She actually transforms into every single one of those.
2. Lightweight Logan in X-Men
When Logan first meets Beast after coming back to the past, he is thrown on the table. But at this time, he is a literal lightweight as he doesn’t have his adamantium skeleton yet.
3. X-Men Days of Future Past Hints Via Interior
In this scene, if you look closely at Logan’s interior design, you can see the katanas and some Japanese memorabilia. This indicates the time that he spent in Japan during the Second World War.
4. Special Attention To Quicksilver
In order to make him more realistic and justify his speed, it is shown that Pietro legit breaks the wall with each step because of the heavy amount of force that he exerts.
5. Logan Is James
When Logan wakes up after time traveling, the girl next to him addresses him as Jimmy and not Logan. That is because Wolverine has not lost his memories yet, courtesy of the adamantium bullet. And if you didn’t know his real name is James Howlett.
6. X-Men Writer Gets A Cameo
Chris Claremont is basically the writer who gave us our favorite X-Men stories and characters like Mystique and Gambit. If you didn’t notice, then he did get some screentime in Days of Future Past as a senator advocating for peace.
7. Comic Relief
Did you know, when Logan walks through the metal detector, it doesn’t beep? Once again, that’s because he doesn’t have an adamantium skeleton yet. This makes up for a slight comic relief as Hugh Jackman’s expressions make up for a great moment.
8. Nod to Star Trek
In one of the scenes, Hank McCoy is watching a certain episode of Star Trek, which is “The Naked Time.” In it, the crew gets infected by the mind-warping disease. An explosion sends the crew back in time, and they are able to replot their course.
9. The Sentinels
Some of the powers that the sentinels gained were from mutants that were not a part of the film. This means these mutants were experimented on before, and are Emma Frost, Rockslide, and lady Deathstrike.
