7. Blink
The first few seconds of the X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer features a lot of both familiar and new faces, but you’d be forgiven for not only failing to recognise Blink, but for the name to not ring any bells either! As Alan Cumming didn’t return as Nightcrawler, she’s essentially in this movie to fill in for him as their power set is practically identical. Still, her ability to teleport perhaps isn’t the only reason that she’s here; despite not appearing in the comic book that this movie is loosely based on, Blink became a fan favourite character after being made a major part of another bleak alternate future storyline – “The Age of Apocalypse”. Apocalypse is a villain that a lot of comic book fans are desperate to see on the big screen, but whether or not Blink’s involvement here is an indication of him being a part of this movie is unclear and probably quite unlikely!
