Bryan Singer, the director of X-Men and X2 and producer of the upcoming sequel to X-Men: First Class, has confirmed the title of the follow-up film.  Singer said in a recent interview that the title would be X-Men: Days of Future Past, a nod toward a storyline in the comics that ran in the early 80s.  It would certainly fit in with Singer’s claim that the sequel’s story is bold and ambitious, as the comics involve alternate timelines and a dystopian future in addition to meaty social conflicts like internment camps and assassinations.  Much more from Singer follows after the jump.

20th Century Fox has made a doozy of a release date announcement today, with the first dates for two highly anticipated sequels and a big shift for Steven Spielberg’s next film.  Briefly:

• The currently untitled sequel to X-Men: First Class will be released on July 18th, 2014
• The sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, now titled Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, will hit theaters on May 23rd, 2014
• Director Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi film Robopocalypse has been pushed from July 3rd, 2013 to April 25th, 2014.
