They've got a five year plan for the island story, and they've only covered a year of him being on it.

It's not a prequel. 

How many times does it need to be said?

Days of Futures Past is a two issue story arc, and far from complicated.  It's shorter than Red, and they had to add stuff to that to make work as a movie.

I love it when people use terms that they don't understand to make themselves sound smarter, but it backfires hysterically.

Brad Bird has directed exactly one movie that wasn't animated or written by him.

No, considering the article is about how they found a director for Mockingjay, and Mockingjay will two movies.  The one he's directing now doesn't count.

No, they aren't going with Pym, though he'll be in the movie.  Wright's already said that it's going to be the Scott Lang Ant-Man, and the screenplay is a loose adaptation of Marvel Premiere 47.

@SarcasticCaveman

They've actually addressed the inability to generate electricity, and such, sort of.   The former tech billionaire has pointed out that the laws of nature just aren't working properly, and they should have been able to fix it years ago, but somehow can't.

Fillion's playing Dogberry, Denisov is playing Bendick.  (Fillion would come off as creepy playing off of Amy Acker's Beatrice.)

@Wiseguy

Yeah, that's more than likely who she's playing, but I'd put Hela above Death as a possibility, as seems a little too out there for the movieverse.  I could be wrong, with Thanos and all, but it does jack up the weirder elements of the MU a little high.
