However, something did pop in to my mind.
A unique element to the FF is that their identities are public: the world - and the government - know who they are. In fact, in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the FF were approached by the government due to their reputations as both scientists and crime-fighters.
So that got me thinking, what if the FF was used by the government in the creation - directly or indirectly - of the sentinels that will appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Now I know that Boliver Trask has been cast as the man who creates these machines, and I'm not ignoring that, but maybe the FF is consulted in some way, or unknowingly used to create some tech or gizmo or something used by the sentinels.
While this idea would have potential to clash the FF and the X-Men against each other, at least initially, which could be a great fight to see on screen, there is, of course, another direction to go, using sentinels as the "go" point.
Maybe, in this version, the FF aren't so well known. And the use of sentinels to attack mutants could bring them out of the shadows as heroes in this world, that aren't subject to being targeted by sentinels because they're not mutants. This could provide a glimpse of a better potential future between mutants and humans, and give the mutants hope that in time, humans will think better of them.
Of course, this is all pure speculation on my part. I just hope that we finally get the FF movie we deserve, and more crossovers means more stories and more characters.
