X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Wolverine travels to 1973 to prevent an assassination that creates a Sentinel-ruled future. The feature condenses the principal comic storyline for the screen, retaining its central conflict while combining characters and events into a single film. It also preserves the emotional stakes and defining choices that made the source memorable. Its closest comic relationship is close adaptation with changed cast/time mechanics, with the feature reshaping that material for the screen.

Comics behind the movie
X-Men: Days of Future Past draws together recognisable comic-story material and reshapes it for a self-contained feature-film narrative. Start with Uncanny X-Men #141–142, then compare it with Wolverine #73–74. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
