Behold This Photo Of Prof. Xavier’s 2 Wheelchairs From X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Why does Prof. Xavier need 2 wheelchairs in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, you might ask? Well, keep in mind that there’ll be old Prof. Xavier played by Patrick Stewart and the younger Prof. Xavier played by James McAvoy and director Bryan Singer has tweeted this photo above of those two chairs

“Hello old friends #XMen #DaysofFuturePast”

Old friends to Singer indeed. Welcome back, the most awesome, geekiest wheelchairs ever!..

Already starring Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, Peter Dinklage, Hugh Jackman.

That title is based on the Marvel Comics comic book The Uncanny X-Men published in 1981. It deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps.

The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future. (The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 gave the numerical designation of “Days of Future Past” Earth as Earth-811).
