Comic book fans and X-Men lovers listen up ’cause some new mutants will be joining the cast in the newest installment of the X-Men series. All the ones you love will be returning- Magneto, Professor X, Wolverine, and basically everyone from the last one.
From the perspective of someone who never read any of the comics, here are some lesser-known mutants that’ll be unleashing their powers on moviegoers in late May of this year:
Quicksilver- This guy has the ability to move really, really fast. Magneto’s son, he apparently is a really big a**hole. That’ll be fun to watch on screen- I’m sure there will be some comic relief in Quicksilver. Fun fact: Quicksilver is also appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. Worlds collide!
Bishop- He’s a time-traveling mutant cop from the future who can absorb energy people throw at him and redirect it at other people. Sounds crazy enough.
Blink- A female mutant who has the ability of teleportation as well as creating ‘energy daggers’ that she chucks at other people. So, yeah, stay away from this one.
Warpath- Before researching this guy I already had an idea of what he’d be like. And I was right. He’s a huge, brutish beast who uses incredible strength and two large knives that he slices people to bits with.
I hope the movie is able to incorporate all these new names and faces into one movie. To find out more and see who’s playing these new characters, check out: http://collider.com/x-men-days-of-future-past-quicksilver-bishop-blink-warpath/
