In the X-Men: Days of Future Past comic, it was Kitty Pryde who went back in time, not Wolverine.But as a nod to this, they gave her time phasing powers so she could be the one who sends him back.When Quicksilver hears Magneto say that he can control metal, he says that his mother used to know somebody who could do that. We also see the Maximoff family name on the mailbox outside Quicksilver’s home. This confirms what we know in the comics, that Quicksilver, Pietro Maximoff, is Magneto’s son.And that little girl, could that be the Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch? [Editor's Note: From just viewing the movie, one might make this assumption, but as some people have noted in the comments, director Bryan Singer revealed this is simply his younger sister.]And finally, their mother was a gypsy named Magda, not an American woman living in the suburbs.In a unique exception to the movie rights for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, both Fox and Marvel are allowed to use them, as they are both X-Men characters and Avengers characters.This means that Quicksilver will also appear in the Avengers sequel played by a completely different actor. We caught a glimpse of him and his sister in the Captain America: The Winter Soldier post-credits scene, but due to not being able to reference Magneto, the X-Men, or mutants, they are simply called “miracles.”When Magneto impales Wolverine with all of those metal rods, their twisted shape jutting out of his body is a direct homage to a classic image from the comics -- one of Magneto ripping the metal out of Wolverine’s body.Pretty much the exact opposite is happening in the movie, but it’s still cool to see.Unfortunately, we didn’t get a Stan Lee cameo in this one. But two other X-Men comic writers did as a pair of US Senators. Chris Claremont, who wrote the Days of Future Past comic:And Len Wein, who created Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and, you guessed it, Wolverine:We watch Mystique save four enlisted mutants from being taken away for William Stryker’s experiments, but who are they? There’s Toad from the original X-Men movie, Ink from the Young X-Men comic, Spyke, who we all fondly remember from the X-Men: Evolution cartoon, and Havok from X-Men: First Class.
