Can ' X-Men: Days of Future Past' Live up to the Expectations of Fans?

As the new trailer of the film indicates, there are much risky aspects for upcoming installment of X-Men franchise. As duly histrionic as that looks as the main part of a time-travel motion picture, there is an explanation as well as criticism to such discourse, indicating the prospects of the X-Men franchise itself and the likelihood to re-visualize its prospects after this summer’s latest sequel.

We already have somewhat idea what comes after ‘Days of Future Past’, as the name and launch date of 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse has already been publicized several weeks ago, and producer Bryan Singer has told that it will be the sequel of the ‘First Class’ into the era of 1980s considering the flashback timeline.

But ahead of that, DOFP provides the X-Men franchise an opportunity to remake itself and get rid of the shackles (and continuity) of all earlier films, mainly the dissentious 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand, which not only lacked the Bryan touch, but also reallY excluded the “modern” element of the franchise by putting an end to 3 of the main charactERs in a single incident.

In theory, if Wolverine’s undertaking does well in this May’s film, then he will have changed the prospects or upcoming eVents of the First Class cast in some way that will imply that the dystopian, machine-filled future that Magneto AND Professor Charles Xavier live in has stopped to be, or in any case has turned out to be significantly better.

The range of such variations relies on the audacity of the movie makers but brings in all ways of prospects that could be followed not least of which being the likelihood to remake fan-most wanted characters recast from their earlier emergence, with every character exempted from any imminent history presented in the initial 3 X-Men films.

If helmed suitably, it’s a win-win for filmmakers. They have a chance to reorganize the timeline in a best way, but without needing to enlighten fans that the previous films didn't “take place.”

That said, this idea can be balled up and cause problem. After all, completely changing the “future” of the X-Men does possibly nullify the films that certainly built a huge fan base, which runs the threat of disappointing the viewers who are most eager about the franchise.

Is the risk of pushing away X-Men admirers worldwide worth making an effective formation for a new superhero world with the possible jackpot of numerous franchises in a promotion? In few months, we will have an idea whether Fox has actually a 2nd opportunity when we talk about its superhero attributes.
