Will The ‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel Feature Classic Mutant Story ‘Days Of Future Past’?

The interesting bit is that the time-travel aspect of the Days story means that it could be used to unite the casts, or some of the casts, of the X-Men and First Class storylines. Here’s a partial plot recap of Days of Future Past:

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.
