stars an ensemble cast, including Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael
Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Nicholas
Hoult, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart. Simon
Kinberg wrote the screenplay from a story conceived by him, Matthew Vaughn, and
Jane Goldman.
The film is a British-American co-production with a budget
of US$200 million. Principal photography began in Montreal, Quebec in April
2013 and concluded in August the same year, with additional filming and
pick-ups taking place in November 2013 and February 2014. The film premiered in
New York City on May 10, 2014, and was theatrically released on May 23.
X-Men: Days of Future Past received critical acclaim,
becoming the best-reviewed film in the X-Men series. Reviewers commended its
fresh visual style, story, and acting. It is also the highest-grossing film in
the series, having earned over $745 million worldwide. A sequel, X-Men:
Apocalypse, is scheduled for release on May 27, 2016, with Singer returning to
