Bryan Singer Talks X-Men: Days of Future Past

Recently, Bryan Singer shared a few more nuggets of info on the ever abuzz X-Men: Days of Future Past. To start, the director assured his fans that no stone was left unturned when it came to the highly anticipated time-travel crossover element.

"We've cracked it in a way that it makes sense," Singer explained to Empire. "I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick wtih them. That's why Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions and characters, that make this possible."

Additionally, Singer noted that Days will take a good amount from the original comic book arc, story-wise. "It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it's like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie."

Although Singer is known for his work on X-Men and X2, some have wondered how closely he'll stick with the tangled web of X-movie chronology that's been established by other directors. "I'm taking into account every movie," he said. "I'm not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I'm taking into account the entire universe as it’s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that. People took things in various directions, so there’s some clean-up. But ultimately I’m not just ignoring them either."

Singer also revealed that the movie will feature yet another PG-13 F-bomb, following up on Hugh Jackman's memorable cameo line from First Class. "We're going to have another one in this one. We have another one coming up!"

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens July 18, 2014.
