The Amazing Spider-Man 2 gets an unexpected X-Men: Days of Future Past post credits scene! Find out why!

Fans overseas who went to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 today were caught off guard by a new unexpected post credits scene. To their surprise there is a new sequence for X-Men: Days of Future Past at the end of the film. The scene features a fight sequence with Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique.

At first thought fans may get excited about a possible crossover featuring Spider-Man and the X-Men. Unfortunately, this is not the case at all. So then why is Sony promoting a film from 20th Century Fox?

"“Spider-Man” director Marc Webb had an existing contract with Fox Searchlight to helm another film following 2009′s “500 (Days) of Summer.” After “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2012, Webb’s negotiations briefly stalled with Sony as he was caught in a tug-of-war with Fox. Eventually, Fox agreed to allow Webb to direct Sony’s “Spider-Man” sequel, but only if Sony would promote its “X-Men” film for free."

So unfortunately we will not be getting an awesome Spider-Man / X-Men crossover but it'll still be cool to get a sneak peek at a scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past.

If you can team up Spider-Man with any Marvel character(s) that currently have their own film (or one in production) who would you want to see him with? Let me know in the comments!
