What about
Days of Future Past? Which is now reportedly the X4 subtitle.
definetely think it's ironic that Singer watched all the episodes of the 90s X-Men cartoon and basically only took advantage of the first two episodes (Night of the Sentinels) that dealt with human/mutant relations...when there were so many others he could have adapted over the course of three films..
Singer likely only knows the version of DoFP we got in the 90's cartoon, where Bishop, not Kitty, came back in time, Gambit was framed for Senator Kelly's assassination and even Cable got involved. (None of which characters were around yet when the print story came out.)
But from other casting reports, looks like it's going to be "Old story with new characters", so Fox can mix in promotional supporting tie-ins for all those obscure new 10's current-comic characters, as they did in First Class.
Yes, I'm hoping Marvel will get them back.
