The trailer features many of the film's action set pieces, which take place at the White House, a military site and close by the Eiffel Tower in France.

X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer recently discussed the inspiration behind the film with Collider.

"This one actually delves into being a time travel movie. Once I took on that and figured out a methodology for it, I embraced the fact that like Time Machine, Back to the Future, Terminator, Looper, I'm now in that world or trench, but it's a very fun opportunity to see maybe this is a future," he told Collider. "When you see the X-Men in this future, it's almost like you start off and it's sort of a dreary 'maybe' future, it's one you hope didn't happen, maybe it won't happen, and that's kind of what it feels like. So I went full out, that's why it's very dark and they're all militant and I wanted to make sure they all looked like they'd been fighting a war for ten years."

X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled for release in theaters on Friday, May 23.
