Over the weekend, Bryan Singer and company wrapped production on his return to the X-Men franchise, ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’. Throughout the shoot, rather than paparazzi getting the scoop with exclusive onset pictures, the director has been letting fans in on the process by sharing shots on his Twitter. So, before they finished up in Canada, Singer released a few more pictures before packing up and going home. Plus, a new official photo was released as well.
First, the filmmaker gave us a glimpse into his monitor set up on the second to last day of principal photography. In this particular shot, he shows that he’s working on a scene with Michael Fassbender’s Magneto:

Next, Singer presents a few familiar items from various mutants, such as Havok’s chest piece, Magneto’s helmet, and one of Angel Salvadore’s wings. It’s currently a mystery as to who owns this collection or how they’ll pop up in the movie, but one could only imagine that Angel was in a world of hurt after getting her wing plucked by someone (unless it was the prop department at the end of the day):

Finally, Coming Soon has the latest official picture from the film featuring Nicolas Hoult as Hank McCoy/Beast, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier/Professor X, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine:
** UPDATE: Photo removed at the request of 20th Century Fox **
It’s interesting to note that Hoult is not adorning his furry, blue skin. Is it possible that Dr. McCoy has found a temporary cure for himself? We already know that it won’t last long since we’ve seen him sporting the fur already. Maybe he invented an image inducer similar to Kurt Wagner’s apparatus in the comics that hid his true appearance. Whichever explanation it is, I guess we’ll have to wait a bit to find out.
