X-Men: Days of Future Past – The high-speed Pentagon heist
What’s going on?
Dumped back in 1973 on a mission to track down shapeshifting mutant Mystique, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) knows he needs to recruit the villainous Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to his cause. The problem? Old metal-head is buried under a thousand feet of concrete below the world’s most heavily fortified building.
Why our jaws dropped...
Help arrives in the form of Peter Maximoff aka Quicksilver (Evan Peters), a fey proto-Goth teenager who happens to have the ability to slow time. So when security shows up and Wolverine’s life is threatened, he springs into action with a bravura display of bullet-dodging hyperspeed action.
