X-Men: First Class sequel to be titled 'Days of Future Past'

The sequel to X-Men: First Class is set to start filming in January of 2013 but the big question remains; what will the sequel be about?

Reports are now coming in that the sequel will be titled "Days of Future Past". X-Men fans will recognize this name as the time traveling story from the comics. This storyline will certainly bring the franchise in a fun new direction while introducing some new characters to the movies.

'Days of Future Past' comic plot:

The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men's failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future.

Do you think that this story will make for a great X-Men movie? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is set to hit theaters on July 18th, 2014.
