What's left behind the scenes
- According to Bryan Singer, he had a two-hour discussion with James Cameron, who directed two films about time travel ("The Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"). The directors discussed which concept of time travel was the most plausible and would work within the framework of the film.
- The time travel theme from the "X-men: Days of Future Past" comic book storyline was chosen as the basis for the film to merge two stories into one: to close the storyline of the original trilogy and to continue working with the plot of "X-Men: First Class".
- Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were on tour with a production of "Waiting for Godot" when Bryan Singer contacted the actors and offered them the roles of Professor X and Magneto. According to McKellen, both actors were stunned by the offer. They were convinced that their roles were firmly established with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and that they would never return to these characters.
- Bryan Singer filmed scenes with the mutant Quicksilver in an unusual format — 3600 frames per second. This was done to demonstrate Quicksilver's "speed" abilities. Thanks to this filming technique, this character in the film will move 150 times faster than ordinary characters.
- The original comic book 'Days of Future Past' mentions time travel from the year 2013, the same year filming of the movie began.
- Chris Claremont, the author of the original comic book 'Days of Future Past', served as a consultant on this project.
- This is the fourth film based on a comic book by Chris Claremont from the 'X-Men' series: 'X2' (2003) was based on the comic 'God Loves, Man Kills'; 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006) was based on the comic 'The Dark Phoenix Saga'; 'The Wolverine' (2013) was based on the comic book of the same name.
- Matthew Vaughn was listed as the film's director from the moment the project was announced. However, when the film reached the final stage of pre-production, he unexpectedly switched to another project, and Bryan Singer took over (largely because he had directed the first two films in the franchise), contributing to the screenplay.
- A life-size model of the Sentinel robot was built specifically for the film's shooting.
- After the film's trailer was released, director Bryan Singer took an unprecedented step, releasing the same footage the next day, but with his own commentary, explaining the meaning of certain scenes to give viewers a fuller understanding of what to expect from the film.
- Jamie Campbell Bower and Nico Tortorella auditioned for the role of Quicksilver.
- While playing Mystique in this film, Jennifer Lawrence wore a special suit. In 'X-Men: First Class' (2011), she had makeup applied to her entire body, but this option was very uncomfortable.
- In this film, Bryan Singer based time travel on string theory.
- Storm's role in the screenplay was noticeably larger than in the film, however, Halle Berry's pregnancy became too apparent and her role was significantly reduced.
- Although the film takes place in Russia, the USA, France, Vietnam, and China, it was entirely filmed in Quebec (Canada).
- Mercury's t-shirt features an image from the cover of Pink Floyd's most famous album – "The Dark Side of The Moon".
- At the 90th minute, as Hank contemplates the constancy of time, footage from the original "Star Trek" series (1966-1969) is shown on one of the screens. Patrick Stewart played the captain of the ship in the series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-1994), as well as in a number of other films in the series.
- The scenes set in the "future" take place in 2023, and those in the "past" in 1973.
- Scenes depicting a romantic storyline between Wolverine and Storm were filmed, but were cut from the movie.
- Deadpool was planned to appear in the film, but was removed from the script. The creators justified this by the already large number of characters.
- The film's main villain, Doctor Trask, also appeared in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' and was played by an African American actor. This can be considered a continuity error, as both films take place in the same timeline.
- In 'The Wolverine' (2013), Wolverine lost his adamantium claws in the final battle. However, we can see these same claws in future scenes. Wolverine was not born with an adamantium skeleton, and therefore, the adamantium claws could not regenerate; bone claws should have grown in their place (as in the past). Bryan Singer had a very simple answer to this question: Magneto. The director explained that at that time, the relationship between Wolverine and Magneto was not hostile, so he could easily have helped him... and regrow the claws from the adamantium already present in Logan's body.
- When Evan Peters was cast as Quicksilver, it sparked a lot of discussion due to the same character appearing in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (2015). The presence of Quicksilver in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006) and 'The Avengers' (2012) had been previously discussed, but due to rights issues surrounding the character, he never appeared in those films. In May 2013, Marvel and Fox Studio resolved all legal issues, and it was decided that Quicksilver would appear in both 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (2015) and 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (2014) with a small condition: 'The Avengers' should not mention that this character has any connection to the X-Men and Magneto (the character’s father), and 'X-Men' should not mention that Quicksilver has any connection to the Avengers. Furthermore, this character could not be referred to as a mutant in any of the Marvel films.
- When Matthew Vaughn was set to helm the project, he wanted to make a direct sequel to *X-Men: First Class* (2011), with the events unfolding in the 1970s. Among his ideas was an opening scene depicting Kennedy's assassination being Magneto’s fault, and clashes between mutants during the Civil Rights Movement/Vietnam War era.
- When Matthew Vaughn was the project's director, Azazel, played by Jason Fleming, was supposed to return in the film. Bryan Singer decided that Azazel would be superfluous and that Mystique sees a report of his death in the Trask Industries archives, while Magneto mentions his death during an argument with Charles Xavier.
- The bullet wounds that appear on Wolverine’s chest upon arriving in the 1970s are in the shape of the Big Dipper. This is a tribute to the manga *Fist of the North Star* (Hokuto no Ken), whose main character had the same scar on his chest.
- In the original comic, it was Kitty Pryde who traveled to the past, but in the film, it is Wolverine. The filmmakers explained this by saying that traveling through time for a long period can cause severe brain damage, and Wolverine, with his regenerative abilities, is the only one who can survive it.
- When Charles Xavier tells Logan the reason Magneto was imprisoned for murder, he mentions a bullet that "snaked." Notably, James McAvoy, who played Xavier, previously starred in *Wanted* (2008), where he had the ability to make a bullet "snake" mid-flight.
- When the Sentinels enter the room where Professor Xavier, Kitty Pryde, and Wolverine are hiding, it is clearly visible that Magneto, being wounded, is sitting leaning against a pillar. At the moment the past changes and characters begin to disappear, Magneto is no longer in his place.
- In the film, Magneto demonstrates virtuoso control over metal not only at the level of an object but also at the molecular level, "separating" railway rails into individual rods. Although in the trilogy, the older Magneto never did anything like this (with the exception of a scene from "X2" involving liquid metal) and always resorted to simpler tricks, even when the ability to manipulate metal at the molecular level would have been very useful.
- According to Bryan Singer, he had a two-hour discussion with James Cameron, who directed two films about time travel ("The Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"). The directors discussed which concept of time travel was most plausible and would work within the film.
