QWhat is this a sequel to?
AIn chronological order, this film is a sequel that starts several years after the events of both The Last Stand and The Wolverine in a dystopian future and involves a travel back in time some years after the events of First Class in the middle of the 1970s. Cast members from all those films appear. The first three X-Men movies, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and The Wolverine follow chronologically from a timeline established in First Class (although several retcons have been identified); however, in Days of Future Past, due to changes made into this original timeline, a new timeline is created (comparable to what happened in Star Trek), leading to a new separate chronology in which future movies will take place.

QIs Scarlet Witch in the film?
AScarlet Witch, real name Wanda Maximoff, is the twin sister of Pietro/Quicksilver. The two are set to appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron together, although Quicksilver is not portrayed by the same actor and he's presumed to have slightly different characteristics from the character in this film. In fact, only Quicksilver appears in this film. Scarlet Witch was going to be mentioned, but was left out due to time constraints. During the finale, a shot of Pietro shows him with a younger girl (see here). However, she's not presumed to be Wanda, as Wanda is Pietro's twin and should be the same age. The little girl could be Polaris aka Lorna Dane, the half-sister of Wanda and Pietro and daughter of Magneto with similar magnetic powers, though her hair is red instead of green. This may be what confused people into thinking she was Scarlet Witch.
