X Men: Days of Future Past Plot Spoilers: Mystique Assassinates JFK, Wolverine Becomes The First Horseman In Story Leak! [SPOILERS Ahead!]

The excitement for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is now at fever pitch. Fox has teased us with a humongous cast and a complicated storyline that everyone wants to get to know.

The "scoop-sites" of course, are making their due diligence. Plot storylines have leaked through Comic Book Resources. The string of plot leaks in verbatim:

"Young Jean Grey appears in the past.

Cannonball appears in a mutant refugee camp in the future that is attacked by Sentinels.

Rogue has been captured so the Sentinels can duplicate her powers and use it against mutants. The X-Men later rescue her, and, due to the genetic manipulation done by the Sentinels, Rogue briefly displays super-strength and flight during the escape.

The Sentinels are made of magnetized plates and therefore can change their shape, becoming learner or bulkier. The addition of Rogue's powers makes them virtually unstoppable, which is why the X-Men decide to move forward with the last-ditch effort to change the outcome of the war by altering the past.

There is a mutant unit led by William Stryker that Havok and Toad are a part of, in 1972.

Banshee left the X-Men to be with his family, and Emma Frost has been captured by the government again, but Magneto isn't bothered to break her out yet again.

Mystique assassinates President Kennedy while Magneto tries to stop her, which results in him being captured and forced to join the unit. However, this is part of his plan, and Mystique later stages an attempt against President Nixon's life so Magneto can break out.

When Mystique goes to Saigon to help the mutant unit escape, Toad takes the opportunity, and is later recruited to Magneto's brotherhood.

The timeline "fractures" in the end. The original timeline (which includes "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", "X2", "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "The Wolverine") remains the same, and the new timeline (which includes "First Class") is a clean slate, in which anything could happen. Old Xavier mentions he is able to feel the other timeline still.

Young Beast and Old Mystique share a brief moment in which he apologizes for not creating a better future, and she apologizes for not being able to change the past. Beast still harbors a crush on her and even attacks Magneto during the Kennedy assassination, under assumption he's trying to hurt her.

Wolverine's mind remains in his 1972 body. His future self is left in a comatose state.

The X-Men's hideout is an ancient tomb where Apocalypse lies dormant, though he awakens in the end. The comatose Wolverine might become his first Horseman in "X-Men: Apocalypse"."

These 'spoilers' were posted on the Comic Book Resources Thread. Some sites that have republished it have issued disclaimers, like Moviepilot. Other sites like Comic Book Movie.com have taken down the repost "upon request of the studio."

Some of the plot spoilers are inconsistent with the other developments:

Rogue has been confirmed not to appear in the movie according to director Bryan Singer. In the spoiler list, she seems to play a major role.

The existence of the 'the new timeline' which is a clean slate from 'X-Men First Class' means that Days of Future Past, at the end of the movie, did not happen at all as far as the First Class characters are involved. That should mean they have will have no knowledge about Wolverine if they would meet again. But Wolverine would have recollection about them, since only 'his consciousness' traveled to the past. It is an assumption that this same consciousness would have to return to the present/future timeline.

All the answers, and maybe more questions when "X-Men: Days of Future Past" opens on May 23, 2014.
