This short teaser features Magneto, some more Magneto and little bit more Magneto…
Bryan Singer, director of arguably the two best X-Men films (so far), returns to helm the seventh installment in the mutant movie franchise, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and the director tweeted that “something big is coming.”
We’re not sure if “something big is coming” means that he was foolishly standing in the way of a charging run from Juggernaut, or if he was talking about one of the most anticipated films of 2014.
It was probably the latter…

The new film involves a huge cast of heroes and villains as the stars of both the older and newer films now unite to fight a war for the survival of the species, time-travelling and battling across two time periods in a fight that must change their past in order to save their future.
X-Men veterans Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman return, as do their younger selves in the form of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and, ahmm, Hugh Jackman again.
Here at JOE though we’re most excited about Irishman Fassbender returning as the bad-ass basta*d that is Magneto and, who knows, maybe his now infamous Irish accent from the climax of X-Men: First Class will also make a return – “Howya buddy, I’m Magneto and I’m bleedin’ deadly.”
The latest teaser, although short and snappy in nature, reveals a drowning Wolverine (Jackman), a captive and meditative Magneto (Fassbender), three new X-Men (Warpath, Sunspot, Blink), a Mystique and Magneto face-off (Jennifer Lawrence and Fassbender), the White House under attack, some more Mystique, old man Magneto and Iceman (McKellen and Shawn Ashmore), even MORE Magneto, and finally some Professor X (McAvoy) who seems to be struggling to get his hands on some slightly out-of-reach toilet paper.
Nightmare.
