Following the success of the X-Men prequel First Class (another hit for Marvel Studios), a follow-up has now been commissioned with producer Bryan Singer confirming that it will named as Days of Future Past.

Speaking to IGN, Singer revealed that the sequel will be based on the Uncanny X-Men storyline which focuses on a future version of Kitty Pryde taking possession of her present self as she attempts to stop the murder of a Senator which could affect her continuum. It will also feature the first appearance of Cyclops and Phoenix’s alternate reality daughter Rachel Summers/Grey.

“It’s going to be very ambitious… It deals with aspects of that comic, but also some new things. I just don’t want to give all of it away.”

Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy will reprise their roles as the young Magneto and Xavier for Days of Future Past which will be released on July 18th 2014.
