Outside a Hard Rock in Los Angeles, there was the head of a sentinel put on display. These sentinels will appear in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. The sentinels are gigantic robots designed specifically for hunting mutants. The photo below shows the sentinel head and the background shows the logo of Trask Industries, the company owned by villain Bolivar Trask (played by Peter Dinklage of Game of Thrones) who detests the existence of mutants:
For those unfamiliar with the Days of Future Past storyline, it portrays a dystopian future when the X-Men fail to prevent the assasination of Senator Kelly by the Brotherhood of Mutants lead by Magneto. This failure catalyzes a future where Trask's sentinels rule the United States and mutants are held in internment camps. Now it's up to a resistance group of mutants to warn the X-Men of the past to prevent this disaster.
There are also portrait photos of Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, Colossus, and Bishop. Bishop is a time travelling mutant leading the resistance group aimed at stopping the sentinels in the DOFP storyline and this film version looks fantastic. His red sash/ cloak thing is directly from the comic book and I like it when actual comic looks are brought to life. We also have a small look at Wolverine's new outfit, which looks like it might have elements of either his classic yellow/blue or brown/tan outfit from the comic. Check out the photos below:
To be honest, I'm starting to like how the movie's turning out. I was a little deterred when Bryan Singer returned to direct, but how can you go wrong with all the cast of every X-Men movie returning to their roles. Plus, we get both the Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender versions of Magneto and that alone is a wonderful thought.
