Mark Millar: Sentinels Will Be In New X-Men Movie

Comic book guru Mark Millar has revealed that the Sentinels will be featured in forthcoming superhero flick X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

The Scottish writer, who works as a creative consultant to Marvel Studios, told SFX magazine that the robots will be featured on the cinema screen for the first time in the film.

"I don't really want to give too much away but the Sentinels are a big feature of this story," he said. "They will be cool and this will deliver on all of the teasers.

"We've all been waiting for this ever since X-Men: The Last Stand showed us one of their heads. Now it is finally coming, and we only have to pay ten quid to see it in the cinema whereas they're having to pay $100 million to deliver it. So I'm delighted."

The Sentinels are a group of mutant-hunting robots who have played a key role in many X-Men comic book storylines.

The new X-Men film was recently revealed to be mostly based in 1973.
