7. Days of Future Past (The Wolverine)
James Mangold’s The Wolverine exceeded everyone’s expectations, finally giving fans the solo Wolverine movie they were hoping for after 2009’s awful X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Taking a page out of Marvel’s book, the film included a mid-credits scene which perfectly set the scene for Bryan Singer’s return to the X-franchise in next year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Of course, it didn’t really help make the confusing continuity of these movies any clearer as it featured a resurrected version of Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier and a Magneto (Ian McKellen) who once again had his powers! Even so, between their exchange with Logan and the “Trask” Easter egg playing on a TV in the background (they’re the creators of the Sentinels), this proved to be the perfect teaser.
