Actors were flying through the air, and director Bryan Singer (@bryanjaysinger) wanted “X-Men” fans to see it. “This moment is but a tiny fraction of an elaborate sequence which involves pretty much every single aspect of both physical and visual effects one can imagine,” he says. “I just thought it looked so surreal I had to post it.” His goal is to give the fans “a slice of the experience” of being on set, and everything he shares is personal. That’s because Bryan, who has worked on “X-Men” films for the past 15 years, understands what it means to love these characters. “There’s something deep-seeded in the mythology of ‘X-Men.’ In the idea of identity. The feeling of being an outsider. It strikes at the core of every growing person.” Photo by @bryanjaysinger
