`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)?
Trivia:
According to `~4282~`, `~3117~` picked him to play Boliver Trask because of his height: "With my dwarfism, I'm a bit of a mutant. I can't move metal or anything, but I thought of it as self-loathing. Deep down, Trask is quite sensitive about that aspect of himself." SPOILER:The cameos of Cyclops (`~8200~`) and Jean Grey (`~3879~`) were so tightly guarded that the actors as well as director `~3117~` outright lied about their appearance in the movie to keep their return a surprise.:SPOILER `~3117~` based Boliver Trask on `~4624~`: "As Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat to bond the darker parts of Europe, he's doing the same thing with mutants. But he wasn't a six foot, perfect blond Aryan - he was a short, funny looking fellow!" The filmmakers selected the "Days of Future Past" storyline because it would allow the filmmakers to reconcile any continuity dissonances within the "X-Men" film series. The time-travel element also allowed actors from the original film series and the intended reboot that was !~xmen_class~!~X-Men: First Class~! to appear in the same film together. According to `~3117~`, he could only get the film started with confidence once `~7762~` and Sirs `~2597~` and `~7959~` agreed to return. For her role as Mystique, `~12802~` wore a special bodysuit. She had previously worn full-body prosthetics in !~xmen_class~!~X-Men: First Class~! but found that too uncomfortable. `~2597~` and `~7959~` were performing in a touring production of "Waiting for Godot" when `~3117~` approached the actors about reprising their respective roles as Professor X and Magneto. According to McKellen, both men were utterly shocked as they thought they'd passed their roles on to `~4266~` and `~12800~`, and would never play the characters again. Both Stewart and McKellen were delighted to return to two of their most popular roles, and to work with the younger actors playing the same characters as well. Two of Peter Maximoff (Quicksilver)'s relations are implied but never outright stated in the film due to copyright issues. He first remarks to Magneto that his mom used to know someone that could manipulate metal - in the comics, Magneto is in fact Quicksilver's father. This is further implied when Peter's Mother sees Magneto on television and reacts with horror and recognition. A deleted scene also addressed that Peter has a sister - Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch. Although their characters are father and son (although never explicitly stated in the film), `~12800~` and `~13870~` are only 10 years apart in age. `~3117~` filmed Quicksilver's scenes in a special format of 3600 frames per second. This means that Quicksilver is moving 150 times faster than normal. The camera was used to record close-ups and movements of `~13870~`, as well as the guards he encountered. Including his cameo in !~xmen_class~!~X-Men: First Class~!, this is `~7762~`'s seventh portrayal of Logan/Wolverine, raising his own record for the most times a comic book character has been played by the same actor in theatrical films. He will also be the only actor to appear in the entire X-Men film series. `~2597~`, `~4266~`, `~7959~` and `~12800~`, who play the future/past versions of Professor Xavier and Magneto, have all played the title role in film adaptations of @%Macbeth%@. This film ties a record previously held by !~bat_rise~!~The Dark Knight Rises~! for the most Academy Award-nominated actors in a single comic book movie. While !~bat_rise~!~The Dark Knight Rises~! starred seven nominees with an additional nominee appearing via archive footage (eight in total), this film features eight: `~2709~`, `~12800~`, `~7762~`, `~12802~`, `~269~`, `~7959~`, `~12818~` and `~10764~`. According to `~12815~`, this film is influenced by the time-travel films @%The Time Machine%@, !~t_1~!~The Terminator~!, !~bttf_1~!~Back to the Future~! and @%Looper%@. According to `~3117~`, he had a two-hour discussion with `~399~`, director of the time-travel films !~t_1~!~The Terminator~! and !~t_2~!~Terminator 2: Judgment Day~!, about how to make the time-travel concept feasible and workable within the film. The concepts the two discussed included quantum physics, alternate universes, and string theory. `~3117~` based the time travel in the film on string theory: "Until an object is observed, it hasn't really happened yet. The time-traveller whose consciousness travels through time I call The Observer, and until the Observer returns to where he travelled from, the result hasn't occurred yet. So he can muck about in the past and it isn't until he snaps back that the new future is set. As a result, we have parallel action, and there's underlying tension because there's always that threat Wolverine's consciousness could return to the future and leave the world in an even darker place." After !~th_leopold~!~Kate & Leopold~!, this is the second film in which `~7762~` (Wolverine) plays a time traveller. Director Cameo - `~3117~`: when Mystique jumps out of the building and onto the ground below after attempting to kill Trask, Singer is a photographer, who is briefly seen holding up a camera. When Hank hacks the surveillance monitors, one of the shows seen on the screen is the ^~trek_tos_1~^~Star Trek~^ episode @#The Naked Time#@. `~2597~` would appear in ^~trek_tng_1~^~Star Trek: The Next Generation~^ as the second Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard; moreover Picard would encounter and converse with his future self in the episode @#Time Squared#@ on averting a disaster. SPOILER:`~1311~` wanted to return as the elder Beast in a substantial role, but due to scheduling conflicts with !~trnsfrmrs_4~!~Transformers: Age of Extinction~! was unable. His cameo was added during reshoots to keep it secret.:SPOILER This isn't the first time `~2597~` has used time travel to stop a group of robotic creatures from taking over the Earth. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart) travelled back in time to stop the Borg in !~trek_08~!~Star Trek: First Contact~!. `~6434~` and `~10775~` auditioned for the role of Quicksilver. `~2597~` and `~7959~` had makeup applied to look twenty years older than their actual age. They had previously had digital makeup applied to look twenty years younger in !~xmen_3~!~X-Men: The Last Stand~!.
