12 Huge Questions About 2014's Biggest Movies

2. How Is Professor Xavier Still Alive? - X-Men: Days Of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past has the potential to be excellent, given that it's an adaptation of one of the franchise's most popular comic book arcs, and has franchise original Bryan Singer back to direct. However, there are a lot of moving parts to handle, namely the ridiculous number of characters crammed into the story, and the mystery surrounding Professor Xavier's return after his demise in X-Men: The Last Stand. The film did feature a post-credit scene in which Xavier appeared to have transferred his consciousness into another body, and in the director's commentary, it was explained how this was to be Xavier's identical twin, an easy get-out in the event of Xavier's return in a future movie. Well, we're at that future movie now, so that may well be the route they'll take, cheap though it sounds. Of course, with the story revolving so much around time travel, there are also plenty of other opportunities to fix this issue and banish Brett Ratner's movie from whence it came.
