The latest “X-Men: Days of Future Past” featurette showcases how the production brought Sunspot to life through movie magic.
The new featurette contains an interview with Adam Canto, the actor who portrayed the fiery X-Men character onscreen. Check out how Canto feels about playing Sunspot in the video below.
Speaking of mutants, the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” might be featuring new characters from the comic books. “X-Men: Days of Future Past” writer Simon Kinberg spoke to Yahoo! Movies during a fan Q&A sessions, admitting Psylocke could be making her debut in the next film.
“She’s a fan favorite, and also a favorite of mine,” Kinberg told Yahoo. “We have a small part that she plays in ‘Last Stand’, and we talked about including her in ‘DOFP’ quite seriously actually.
“There was a version of the script she was in and we even auditioned some actors in Montreal. But we didn’t feel there was enough of a part she would play in a movie that was already full of many, many mutants.”
Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver’s sister, could also become a franchise regular after being cut from “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
“When we made ‘DOFP’ there is a reference to her in the scene when they’re at Quicksilver’s house, but we ended up pulling it out because like a lot of things it had to be sacrificed for the main momentum of the film,” Kinberg said. “It’s a character we all love, because everyone loves Quicksilver so much. The more we can do to explore his family, the better. So maybe."
“X-Men: Apocalypse” will be released to theaters on May 27, 2016. Watch Kinberg's full Q&A session with Yahoo! Movies here.
