"Days of Future Past:" the next X-Men movie?

The X-Men movie series that, alongside the first live-action Spiderman franchise, pretty much built the Marvel comic-movie department, is getting a bit of new light that may just call upon the X-Men to come together again. How do we know that there are plans for another X-Men movie?

It is all speculation currently, but Blastr reported that 20th Century Fox filed a title for a future project with the MPAA under the name Days of Future Past. If anyone remembers this particular comic story arc, where the future and the present of the comic book worlds collide, then you know that this is bound to be awesome.

"The two-issue arc delved into a dark potential future, where mutants are kept locked up in internment camps. Future Kitty Pryde sends her mind back to present-day Kitty Pryde, and the X-Men jump in to help prevent the anti-mutant future." ~from Blastr

Reebok makes awesome Marvel themed shoes

Marvel and Reebok come together to make a series of shoes designed for those big comic book lovers out there, with themes for X-Men and Avengers to Spiderman!

As of late, Marvel has been releasing a great deal of superhero movies to counter their chief opponent, DC Comics, in the cinema industry. Marvel has seen incredible success, culminating in the big tie-in movie The Avengers, featuring heroes from The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 1 and 2, Captain America, and Thor.

It comes as no surprise, then, that there would be a considerate amount of merchandise following this highly successful movie. Would you have really have expected it to be in the shoe industry, though? Though I do not expect many of the older consumers to be interested, but younger student types from middle school straight up through college and university may find this to their particular interest.
