12 Most Fascinating Details In X-Men: Days Of Future Past

It is undeniable that Marvel has been one of the most successful franchises in the cinematic industry, they created and are giving birth to various iconic Movies, which open a new level of Entertainment for the audience. It is pretty hard to say which movie is the best of them, but when it comes to X-Men: Days of Future Past, it is really different to others.
X-Men: Days of Future Past accomplished the impossible by tying up every previous film in the X-Men franchise with a nice bow, resolving a number of continuity difficulties (as well as erasing X-Men: The Last Stand from the timeline). It was no simple challenge to follow up the critically acclaimed X-Men: First Class, but director Bryan Singer pulled it off masterfully and with terrific pacing. Below are the twelve most fascinating details in the movie.

1. Logan Is Pretty Light

With the probable exception of Marvel's prime deity Stan Lee, Chris Claremont is possibly the single most important X-Men writer the franchise has ever had.

Len Wein, the creator of the X-Men title in the 1970s and a key creative force, has a well-deserved cameo in Days of Future Past. Wein was a key figure for Marvel Comics in the 1970s, acting as editor-in-chief before being tasked with resurrecting the X-Men in 1975. Wein co-created a number of well-known mutants, including Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Thunderbird, and Wolverine, in Giant-Size X-Men #1. (even though he technically appeared in an Incredible Hulk issue first, Wein still created him).
