So they’ve changed the X-Men’s most famous comic strip series a bit – no Sentinels (yet) and it’s Wolverine, not Kitty Pryde, who does the time travelling in this – but it’s got the casts of both X-Men franchises and Bryan Singer’s back directing again, so it should be good. Out next year, though. Curse the waiting.
