‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Blends ‘X-Men’ And ‘Terminator’ Says Mark Millar; Plus ‘Deadpool’ Update

Millar spoke to SFX Magazine about the film and called it “X-Men” meets “The Terminator,” confirming that it has robots in it. Can you say Sentinels? Also, another Marvel property in development at Fox, Deadpool, gets a brief update from its director, Tim Miller. Read about all of this after the jump.
Here’s Millar’s quote from SFX (via Total Film). It might just be the best three sentences ever formed in the human language:
Which, of course, sounds very expensive. Millar had a response to that as well:
Vaughn is going for a big sci-fi style thing with X-Men: Days of Future Past. It’s X-Men meets The Terminator. You’ve got robots, you’ve got time travel, you’ve got superheroes – it’s got everything in one film.
Most comic book fans know the Days of Future Past storyline has a heavy focus on Sentinels, the iconic, building size, evil robots we have yet to truly see even after six X-Men movies. Millar, however, makes it sound like they’ll finally get their due, which is incredibly exciting.
Cost-wise it’s going to go up, and ambitious-wise it’s gone up. But Vaughn can handle it. Vaughn made Kick-Ass for $28 million.
With the characters quick mouth, and a huge star attached in Ryan Reynolds, I’d imagine Millar’s new role could get Deadpool moving head soon if the new script is good. What do you think?
