With its focus on the character dynamics between McAvoy’s Xavier, Fassbender’s Magneto, and Lawrence’s little sister caught between the two leaders’ ideologies, as well as a more statesman-like version of Wolverine courtesy of a returning Hugh Jackman, it works as a somewhat more thoughtful blockbuster. In fact, it may be one of the better superhero movies of the 2010s.
Despite what came afterward-and the very real and disturbing allegations surrounding Singer- X-Men: Days of Future Past is a genuinely good movie. With that said, we don’t think it was a total squandering of First Class’ potential. Their executives are driving 100 miles per hour, looking in the rearview mirror and not understanding why they crash.”
He concluded, “Hollywood doesn’t understand pacing. “When I finished the Days of Future Past script with it ready to go, I looked at it and said, ‘I really think it would be fun to cast Tom Hardy or someone as the young Wolverine and then bring it all together at the end.’ Fox read Days of Future Past and went, ‘Oh, this is too good! We’re doing it now!’ And I said, ‘Well, what do you do next? Trust me you’ve got nowhere to go.’ Then they did Apocalypse, and it’s like… if you flip that round, even would have been better.” As he points out, what could be bigger or better than seeing Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier sharing the screen with McAvoy’s more youthful incarnation? But that’s why he wanted it to be the finale to a trilogy, as opposed to the direct sequel to X-Men: First Class. Vaughn still prefers his version of the idea.
