X-Men: Days of Future Past
Bryan Singer has seek to explain one of the more confusing mo inX - valet de chambre : Days of Future Past . Arguably the most ambitious ledger entry in theX - Menmovie franchise , DOFPunited the originalX - Mencast with theFirst Classbunch in a time - twisting tale that check Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine travel back in prison term in parliamentary law to stop a dystopian time to come from ever happening . Logan succeeded in his mission and , as a bonus , also ended up rewriting the events ofX - Men : The Last Standin the process .
course , DOFPended upmuddling the timelineof the intact franchise , a state of events compounded by subsequent movies that seem to paint a picture the 38 - year geezerhood difference between James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart is only around a decade . However , perhaps the most confusing moment inDOFPcame in its final wind . Once the timeline has been successfully altered , seventies Wolverine is rescued by Mystique in the pretext of William Stryker . The import here was that , with the timeline now jigged around , Jennifer Lawrence ’s juicy mutant could potentially lay aside Logan from his adamantium - drape fate . Alas , one film later inX - Men : Apocalypse , Wolverine is see in the detention of therealStryker and has already become Weapon X , as per his original timeline .

Bryan Singer has now attempted to explain this unmistakable plot pickle in a recent post on hisInstagrampage . Alongside a pic of theDOFPcast in a mini theater , the director writes :
It ’s refreshingly honest of Singer to admit that the twisting was a late addition to the movie and , in all likelihood , this lack of time to reverberate on the scenery ’s true implications is probably the ground it ended up making very small signified . But the eternal rest of Singer ’s explanation only partly holds up . Certainly , Mystique ’s arc of helping other mutants head for the hills the authorities is go on inApocalypseand it makes senses that she would want to help Logan , as both characters have suffer greatly as a result of their chromosomal mutation . However , it still is n’t clear how , despite Mystique ’s crusade , Wolverine still end up being captured by the real Stryker and turned into Weapon X.
intelligibly , Adam - Menfans are left to get into that somewhere betweenDOFPandApocalypse , Mystique loses Wolverine ( or more likely , he runs off ) and Logan continue on his destined course , but the fact that this occur off - screen door renders theX - Men : day of succeeding Pasttwist meaningless , with audiences leave behind guessing Mystique ’s true intentions , as well as how she at last failed . While Singer ’s attack to pass this plot yap up are definitely appreciated - andsomewhathelpful - it still feels like this scene was tot up strictly for shock absorber value , rather than to genuinely further theplot of the franchise .
