Bryan Singer’s past X-films have opened up with voiceovers from Professor Charles Xavier, discussing evolution and the details of it. Singer recently tweeted an image featuring the cover of the script for X-Men: Days Of Future Past:
“As new species are formed through natural evolution, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most.”
The quote, from Charles Darwin’s Origin Of The Species, could quite possibly be the opening to the film as read by either Patrick Stewart or James MacAvoy.
X-Men: Days Of Future Past is scheduled to hit theaters July 18th, 2014.
