Fox registered a title for an X-Men movie with the MPAA Title Registration Bureau, possibly/probably for the XMFC sequel. The title is Days of Future Past: link. Comic book fans now speculate that the movie might be based on the comic book series with the same title. The series' summary says:
It would fit perfectly what Jane Goldman said, that XMFC was set in a universe of its own, that what happened in the first trilogy might or might not happen in this 'verse. And since Matthew Vaughn said he wanted Magneto to kill Kennedy in the sequel, that could lead to the building of the Sentinels. And considering Vaughn wanted to introduce only one new mutant, the time traveling one could be him/her...
I would really love to see it done. It would be the perfect way to create an alternate timeline. Yeah, yeah, if wishes were horses. I just don't want XMFC to lead into X-Men 3 eventually. I hated that movie for what it did to a) Cyclops and b) Charles.
Kennedy, the Sentinels, time travel... Can you imagine how awesome that could be? \o/
The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future.
