The Sentinels are coming!

 

"X-Men" fans were thrilled to learn at Comic-Con that The Sentinels robots would be appearing in the next film, "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Now, we can get an in depth look at them on a newly launched Trask Industries website (http//:www.trask-industries.com) from Fox.

A follow-up to both 2006 "X-Men: The Last Stand" & 2011 "X-Men: First Class," Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" splits time between 1973 and a future year. Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Ian McKellan, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, and Anna Paquin are among the cast members of both films set to reprise their roles (yes, we'll see both Stewart and McAvoy as Professor Xavier).

Stewart has described the time-bending epic as the "'X-Men' of all 'X-Men' pictures."

Celebrating the company's 50th anniversary, the Trask site is chock full of interesting tidbits, facts, and images, including one of a Sentinel at President Ronald Reagan's inauguration. There's info about founder Bolivar Trask (played by "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, as well as a self-congratulatory video about all the great work the company has done over the years.

The promotional footage (rather ominously) notes, "As we celebrate five decades of achievement, we also bid farewell to regular production of the Mark I and shift our efforts to full-time manufacturing of the Mark X our first complete overhaul of the Sentinel line.

Aside from the robots, the site also revealed that the X-Gene Inhibitor Collar, a device in the comics that blocks mutant abilities, will apparently be making an appearance in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’ Of course, there are tons more goodies that await to be dug up, including more info on Trask Industries, but you can get your first look at Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask, as well as the first official photos of the Sentinels.

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ stars both casts of the original ‘X-Men’ films and ‘First Class,’ adapting the famous comic book story of the same name for the big screen. After the world is overrun by mutant-killing Sentinel robots, Wolverine must go back in time to warn the X-Men of the life-altering event that sets his apocalyptic future into motion. ."

(Side-Bar) In the comics, Trask also has a time-traveling mutant daughter, Tanya, who’s tangled up with some of the weirder parts of the Marvel Multiverse, but if I’m going to talk about Tanya, I’m going to have to talk about Earth-811, and the Askani cult, and the hellish mess that is the Summers/Grey chronology, and then this article will be 10,000 words long and we’ll all still be confused.
