9. Sentinels Attack
Both the scene above and Wolverine’s narration seem to indicate that the future Sentinels turn on the humans they were created by, but while that explains why 2018 looks so barren and apocalyptic, could the fact that these early versions are seen here gunning down the civilian onlookers explain why we didn’t see them in any of the previous X-Men movie set in the present day? (X-Men: The Last Stand’s Danger Room simulation not included).
However, it seems like a safe bet that these aren’t just malfunctioning, especially as we see Magneto with control of them a little later. Could this be the moment where he betrays his fellow teammates and decides to show his true colours? It seems that way, and sets him up again as a foe to the X-Men in the new timeline should Wolverine succeed in changing the past and ensuring that the events of 2018 never come to pass as a result.
