As with pretty much all the X-Men movies, Bryan Singer’s take on the classic Days of Future Past storyline looks set to be a very loose adaptation at best. For a start, Wolverine will be the one who travels back in time instead of Kitty Pryde, but if you’re interested in finding out both what clearly inspired the movie and reading a classic X-Men tale, then this is a tale you definitely need to check out! The story takes place in the year it was published (1980), and centres on Kitty being sent back from the apocalyptic 2013 in order to try and stop the assassination of Senator Kelly by Mystique and her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Why? To avoid a future where the majority of mutants have died at the hands of the gigantic robotic Sentinels.
