The future and past of the X-Men collide in Days of Future Past.

A few days ago we previewed the short Instagram teaser for the trailer, now the much anticipated first trailer for the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past has been released. The film bridges the two X-Men film franchises, bringing together the stars of the original trilogy with the successful prequel X-Men: First Class. Returning from the original trilogy are Patrick Stewart , Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Hugh Jackman, joining the cast of First Class (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence et al). Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage joins the cast as Boliver Trask.
