Trapped in a dystopian future where marauding, shape-shifting robots have turned New York’s Central Park into a concentration camp, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has no choice in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” but to travel back in time to alter history.
The film, which opens in U.S. theaters on Friday, is the seventh based on the Marvel Comics series that has grossed more than $2.3 billion at the global box office.
A sequel to both 2006’s “X Men: The Last Stand” and 2011’s “X-Men: First Class,” the film begins in a future where Sentinel robots are trying to destroy mutants, and follows Wolverine as he travels back to the 1970s, when he does not have the use of his silver-colored claws.
