Explore X-Men: Days Of Future Past's Timeline

With 25 moments from the alternate history

With the release of X-Men: Days Of Future Past a little over a month away, 20th Century Fox is acutely aware that there is a lot of narrative ground to cover in a story that spans the years between 1973 and the dark future world we first see in the movie. To help fill in some of the events in between and show how the situation between mutants and mankind soured so badly, there is a handy timeline guide following 25 specific moments.

Those featured include the end of X-Men: First Class in 1962, where Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and the rest, ended up part of the Cuban Missile Crisis. From there, we leap into events that span a decade between then and 1973, where we pick up the story of the younger Charles Xavier (James McAvoy). There’s also mention of the plotline, hinted at in a previous viral site, that Magneto was implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and imprisoned.

The rest we shall leave you to see for yourself, but it’s a fun little blend of real-life events and X-Men characters, even including the real reason for the Mad Cow disease outbreak. From the looks of it, the timeline even tries to squeeze in events from other X-movies.

With Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Ellen Page, Daniel Cudmore, Halle Berry, Shawn Ashmore and others back, including most of the First Class cast, Days Of Future Past is out on May 22.
