'X-men: Days of Future Past' Promos for Beast, Xavier, Bishop, and More

Now that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Godzilla are doing their damage at the box office, the round robin of summer tentpoles continues this week with X-men: Days of Future Past. Controversy has been swirling around its director, Bryan Singer, but that doesn't seem to have affected 20th Century Fox's plan to hype the film, which unites the X-men: First Class squad of mutants with the older group from Singer's original trilogy. We've seen a number of these "power pieces" featuring some of the new and old characters and now we have a few more. These put the spotlight on Hank "Beast" McCoy, Charles Xavier, Iceman, Colossus, and Omar Sy as the future X-man, Bishop.

X-men: Days of Future Past opens May 23rd.

Comic-Con: First Look at Omar Sy as Bishop in 'X-men: Days of Future Past' Portraits

Although an X-men panel hasn't officially been announced for Comic-Con, 20th Century Fox is pulling out all of the stops in hyping X-men: Days of Future Past here. The latest are a series of character portraits for the film, featuring Ian McKellen as Magneto, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havok, Daniel Cudmore as Colossus, and we also have our first look at Omar Sy as the time-lost X-man, Bishop. I didn't think they could do it, but Sy actually pulls it off. Check out those images below.

Daniel Cudmore back as Colossus; Fan Bingbing is Blink in 'X-men: Days of Future Past'

Bryan Singer has been pretty awesome with his use of Twitter lately, especially when to comes to keeping us apprised of X-men: Days of Future Past's production. Today he posted the above image featuring head shots of the principle cast, and there are a couple of new additions along with one powerful returnee.

Daniel Cudmore, who played the organic steel hero Colossus in X-2 and X-men: The Last Stand has been confirmed as one of them. The lovely Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is another, and Deadline says she'll be taking on the role of Blink. That's an interesting one, as Blink is a teleporter, but a very different sort of one than Nightcrawler was. In the comic she started out as a child, who sacrificed her life to save the young mutants of Generation X. An adult version of Blink would re-emerge years later in an alternate timeline ruled by Apocalypse, eventually finding her way into the "normal" timeline. Apocalypse has been rumored to be a potential villain in the film. Bingbing has a small role in Iron Man 3, and if you look closely at the latest trailer you can see her. The last new face on the wall is Boo Boo Stewart, who recently played Seth Clearwater in The Twilight Saga.

Pretty awesome to have Colossus back, and it makes sense because Singer teased him so well with his first appearance. There seem to be a lot of gaps on that wall, so there may be more announcements to come. Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellen, Peter Dinklage, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, and Omar Sy, X-men: Days of Future Past hits theaters on July 18th 2014.
