CBR: Why is Days of Future Past such a great story to adapt to film?
SA: I think it was a really smart and interesting move to bring everybody together for one film. For me, what I loved about the Days of Future Past comic books, and what I think is going to translate well to the screen, is it's an epic storyline.
CBR: How has Bobby changed since we last saw him?
SA: Bobby has matured physically. Obviously, as you age as an actor, you get to bring that to the screen. But, he's also a soldier. There's no messing around, anymore.
CBR: What do you think of the new outfits?
SA: I love the new costumes. What I liked is they are more individualized in a really cool way, to suit whatever our ability is. I was excited to have a new look for Bobby.
CBR: Was there any discussion or debate over Bobby's beard?
SA: I got an email from the makeup and hair department leading up to shooting. It said, "Please don't cut your hair or facial hair," so I just left it not knowing that was meant for the actors in the '70s. But in my brain, I had been picturing Bobby looking like this, being more mature.
CBR: Did the battle between mutant and sentinels live up to your expectations?
SA: Yes, we shot sequences that I think people have been waiting to see in the X-Men universe. Epic stuff. Bryan really brought it for this film. I can't wait for people to see the action sequences in this movie.
