Just days after Halle Berry talked X-Men: Days Of Future Past, promising that her baby bump would not stop her from returning to the role of Storm, Bryan Singer has marked the onset of filming with a new sneak-peak at the movie.

Depicting Patrick Stewart as Old Xavier (not to be confused with James McAvoy’s Young Charles), the image tweeted by Singer seems to place him in the X-mansion, with a number of X-commentators believing it to be near Cerebro, the X-device used to locate other X-mutants. X.

Taking its name from one of the most esteemed arcs in the X-Men comic, Days Of Future Past sees Singers trilogy inexorably tied to Matthew Vaughn’s prequel as – presumably – future tragedy forces the surviving X-Men to go back in time to change history, hopefully saving them from the endless pain and suffering inflicted by X-director Brett Ratner.

Set for release in July of next year, X-Men: Days Of Future Past will also star Hugh Jackman, Sir Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Daniel Cudmore and Peter Dinklage.
