Bryan Singer reveals 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' plot details on movie set

X-Men: Days of Future Past is quickly approaching, and anticipation for the film continues to build with each passing day. Many fans have been wondering about the plot of the movie, especially with regard to the time travel aspect and its effect on the rest of the franchise.

IGN visited the set of the movie last summer and asked director Bryan Singer if the events of Days of Future Past could change what happened in previous X-Men movies. As in, could it bring some characters back to life for future movies?

"It could, possibly," Singer said. "I don't want to give that away." He went on to explain how he approached the X-Men film continuity in this newest installment.

"I will say in terms of the way that we play the characters, we're using those [original] movies," he said. "We're not in an alternate universe. We're respecting the continuity the best we can of the previous movies. It's not easy bringing a certain character back to life, but we're doing our best."

That is likely a reference to Charles Xavier, who died in X-Men: The Last Stand but reappeared in the post-credits scene of The Wolverine.

IGN also reports that, during its set visit, Singer was shooting a scene that takes place in 1973 when President Richard Nixon addressed the mutant situation in the United States. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and young Beast (Nicholas Hoult), are trying to get onto the White House lawn, but something is about to happen, possibly with Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and a gun.
