X-Men: Days Of Future Past: Last Trailer Date & Quicksilver Photo

Fox has announced that the third and final trailer for Bryan Singer's "X-Men Days of Future Past" is due to drop on Tuesday, April 15th over on the YouTube Channel X-MenMovies.

No specific time of day has been announced yet.

A new photo has also been released of American Horror Story favorite Evan Peters as the speedy Quicksilver showing off his ability to run up and across walls.


Producer/writer Simon Kinberg told EW that the character's whole storyline lasts only a few scenes where he uses his skills to help break Magneto out of prison.

On the character's conception, Kinberg says: "The way we conceived him is a sort of an ADD
kid. Everything he does is just popping and zipping around. He doesn't take anything seriously. He's not in a situation for more than a few seconds. So it infused the movie with an energy that was really useful for us."

Part of the character's backstory in the comics is that Magneto is his dad. That nugget gets teased in the film: "Quicksilver is Magneto's son in the comics and there may be an allusion to it in the movie, but it's not something we fully explore yet."

The latest sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics written by Chris Claremont, drawn by John Byrne, and published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) wrote the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.

Singer penned the treatment and produced 'First Class' which was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Now, their roles will be completely reversed for this sequel with Singer helming the film while Vaughn wrote the treatment and will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg

Most of “X-Men: First Class” cast will reprise their roles, including James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto) Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), and Nicholas Hoult (Beast). Lucas Till (Alex “Havoc” Summers) Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert) recently confirmed that she is NOT in this film...

The original trilogy stars Sir Ian McKellen Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are poised to return again as well. Ellen Page (Kitty Pride) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) are back. While actress Anna Paquin's Rogue got edited out, and Halle Berry's Storm was almost trimmed."Frasier" star, is said to have shot a cameo as the older Beast in the new film, reprising the role he played in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand". It seems Alan Cumming.(Nightcrawler) will not return. James Marsden has confirmed that he will NOT return as Cyclops.

The teams will join forces to battle the Sentinels--mutant-hunting robots--created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage).

Daniel Cudmore is returning as Colossus. Actor Evan Jonigkeit ("Calendar Girl," "The Gift") recently told to MTV that he will be playing a younger version of Toad in the upcoming sequel. BooBoo Stewart is also in the film. Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has joined the film--as Blink, a mutant with the power of teleportation. Aussie soap "Home and Away" actor Josh Helman -- once rumored to be playing a young Cyclops -- will portray Bill Stryker. In X2: X-Men United Brian Cox played him and in X-Men Origins: Wolverine Danny Huston took over. French actor Omar Sy plays Bishop and Adan Canto also star.

Post-production on the sequel continues "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" hits screens May 23rd 2014.
