10 Things We Want To See in X-Men: Days of Future Past

9. Future Self in Past Body

The Days of Future Past storyline must involve time travel. In the original comic, the consciousness of an older Katherine Pryde is sent back to inhabit the body of her younger self. Kitty has been introduced in X-Men: The Last Stand, however she is much too young to have been born in the time of X-Men: First Class, so could not be sent back to inhabit her younger self. The concept of having an older, wiser, harder X-Man inhabit the body of their younger self is a very good one. In the Wolverine and the X-Men animated series, a version of Days of Future Past was adapted. In this case it was Professor X sent back in time to inhabit his younger self, who was in a coma. It is possible that the film will use a combination of these stories by sending the old Professor X (Patrick Stewart) to inhabit the body of the younger Professor X (James McAvoy). It would be great to see McAvoy channelling Stewart in his performance.
