X-Men: Days of Future Past Easter Eggs and Marvel Comics References

X-Men: Days Of Future Past at MTV Movie Awards

In Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, the filmmaker not only delivered a five-star superhero movie, but continued in the X-Men franchise’s long tradition of blowing the doors off with cameos, references and other Easter eggs.There were a lot of them, and it was late, so don’t expect us to have them all…but we think we did a pretty respectable job.Check ’em out below and let us know if you caught anything we missed.The logoDuring the initial logo screen ahead of the movie, the 20th Century Fox fanfare fade, as the famed logo for the studio disappeared into darkness…all except the “X.”The Usual SuspectsThis one isn’t really an X-Men reference or anything, but the Bad Hat Harry logo has been altered between whenever I saw it last and now to resemble the linup scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer’s The Usual Suspects.Back to the beginningThe first X-Men movie featured a look at Magneto’s childhood in a concentration camp, and he’s once again back in a stark, numbered prison uniform when we first catch up with Michael Fassbender’s version here.There is, in fact, no scarcity of references to Singer’s X-Men and X2: X-Men United, with the characters’ time at the chess board just one such nod.
