Might as well start this.

So apart from just being about Apocalypse it seems this film will show us the real first class. Consisting of a young Cyclops, Jean Grey and probably Storm too:

https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/classic-x-men-return-x-men-apocalypse-091500928.html

I'm guessing Beast will still be in it, so it will be close to the actual First Class from the comics. Just missing Angel and Iceman.


Will Cyclops finally get the cred that he deserves on the big screen? Doesn't help that he will be a teenager though. There will also be continuity problems with the Cyclops meeting Xavier scene in Origins: Wolverine, and the Xavier meeting Jean Grey scene in X3.

Not sure how they are going to age Charles, Eric and Beast either. Because this movie will have to skip another decade.

I hope they don't kill him off in the movie, Would like to see another couple X-Men movies involving Apoc.

I really just hope that horrible rumor that Magneto will be Apoc isn't true.

Never heard that one....

one i heard was Apoc will be an alien but eventually ended up being false.

I'm betting the events of Days Of Future Past will be the reason for a new continuity, from 1973 onward anyway.

Oh yeah, they can change a lot that way. But not sure how it would change Cyclops and Jean's ages, and which decade McAvoy transforms into Stewart LOL



On another note I've not heard anything about Wolverine being involved in Apoc yet. But I'm guessing he will, and it will be his last X-Men movie.

i wanna see this film be rated r so jennifer lawrence can be nude hahaha


this takes places in 1980's i believe but i hope the script will be good..

I thought the whole point of Days of Future Past was supposed to change the present so we can actually get a decent X-Men sequel with all of the essential characters alive? I thought wrong. At some point, they have to make a true sequel.

I personally think getting a young Cyclops and Jean Grey in the next one is a really good way to go as that would be much closer to the TRUE First Class from the comics. That would give us Xavier, Cyclops, Jean and Beast. It would only be Angel and Ice-Man missing (they obviously can't show up unless they go back in time Lol). Instead we would get a young Storm - That's Ok.

And I just prefer everything about FC, from the actors, character development- Everything. So really wouldn't like them to jump back to the future/present timeline anyway.

I'm just happy Fox is finally going in the right direction with this (14 years later) by giving us other classic X-Men Villains apart form Magneto, and bringing other X-Men who are not Wolverine into the spotlight.

I just hope this latest one is good. The trailers don't look that good to me.

You on crack?

At the risk of agreeing with Golgo I'm also disappointed with a lot of the decisions made like skinny Destroyer armors as sentinels & why Dinkledge? Not to say anything of his acting talent but I like my actors to look like who they are portraying.

I mean I assume Fox has the rights to Alpha flight, make him puck and give us the Wolverine movie everyone wants and fix that $hit pile Origins movie.

Also the fact X3 is now not canon, but Scott & Jean are still dead is an embarrassing oversight that a ten year old fan fiction writer would make.

Yeah i don't get why Dinkledge is playing Trask isn't that character taller?

and which Sentinels are you talking about, There's like two versions the ones which you'll see in the future and then the ones which will appear in the past.

Contradicts it in what way? Xavier walking? They're going to explain that as seen in the trailers where Xavier is walking in DOFP.

X3 is canon, as shown in the end credit scene of the Wolverine, where Wolverine is shocked to see Xavier alive.

DOFP will change the timeline though, but it's unclear what it's going to change about previous films.

Oh yeah I agree, I'm not a fan of Bryan Singer at all. Think he did not do a great job with initially bringing X-Men to the big screen, and Superman Returns was a horrible reintroduction to Superman on the big screen.

On the positive side X2 was a really great action flick Imo (although as an X-Men fan I have quite a few problems with it). And First Class was created by talks between Singer and Mathew Vaughn.

But the reasons I'm optimistic about this one is because: 10 Singer showed he can make a great action sequel with X2, and because 2) the story and script were done by Simon Kingerg and Mathew Vaughn. Vaughn was also supposed to direct DOFP initially, but at some point Singer stepped in to take over (probably realizing how huge this could be, and seeing it as an opportunity to redeem himself after Superman Returns). And 3) The initial reviews now seem very very positive.

Tbf X3 had solid reviews from the press, I've never understood why though.

Not so much with that Rotten Tomatoes site.

Ah damn, looks like Wolverine will be in this, so I doubt they will let Cyclops stand out:

You don't like Apt. Pupil or Usual Suspects? Both near perfect films, IMO. His first X-Men was decent, too. And X2 was very good. His other films like Valkyrie, Superman, and Jack were awful/boring. So, he's hit or miss.

With Superman it doesn't help when its trying to channel the Christopher Reeve's movies.

And it's awful if your a fan of the comics, given the treatment Juggernaut, Cyclops and Xavier got. (Although they've fixed the Xavier thing now).

at least i enjoyed it even if it may not be a perfect movie.

Well I dislike comic Wolverine and Huge Jackedmans version is everything I dislike amped to the tenth degree.

Yeah, well they had their chance with X-Men: First Class to say they were rebooting, but they decided they wanted it both ways and made The Wolverine and Days Of Future Past with the old continuity in mind.

DOFP is the true opportunity going forward to see Cyclops not going out like a punk. If it erases the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that's fine with me too!

Interesting. But I meant it's canon going into the beginning of the movie which it is. We always knew they wanted to change a few of the future films (mainly X3) by the end of DOFP by tweaking with the timeline.

X2 is still fans #1 X-Film.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=poll&id=233&view=results&msg=voted

First Class is still my favorite. DOFP is good though. Just not Epic like it could have been Imho.

methinks the post credit scene for this will be the birth of Cable, or perhaps Cable as an adult

just saw the movie thought it was good. Not my favorite X-men movie. How do I create spoiler alerts?

This is definitely my favorite Xmen movie, on par with First Class and X2

I personally really enjoyed that movie & the end at the mansion was very nicely kept hidden.

I do believe that X-Men: DotFP is my absolute favorite X-Men film, and that's a lot coming from me, being a huge Storm fan and all and her not having my desired amount of screen time (I hope that doesn't count as a spoiler o.o), but not even that deterred me from loving this movie! I'm a huge fan of X2, but this movie I believe tops it! If you haven't seen it yet, goooo!

How could anyone want more Halle Berry as Storm? Her acting is so bad and her character has been portrayed as so uninteresting..

as far as i know she won't be in X-Men: Apocalypse

No it been said that age of Apoc is set ten years after Dofp (past or 40 years before the future) Scott, Jean & Ororo are confirmed to be in it though so... Yeah apparently they are 40+ in the standard timeline... Idk how they fit in unless they are babies

For the sake of the story they would have to be teenagers at least. So that would put them close to 60 in the DOFP future. LOL Don't know how that would work. But if they say the 50 years was rounding off and it was actually like 46-47 years, and if they are 17/18 years old in Apocalypse, then they could pass for 55 in the DOFP Future. Still a bit ridiculous, but at least they're attempting to fix things and show us the Actual First Class. Pretty close to the comics FC. Just replacing Ice-Man and Angel with Storm.


Btw Scott was a teenager in the early 80's according to Origins: Wolverine as well. But looking at Striker in DOFP it's pretty clear they're not taking Origins Wolverine as canon.

X-Men: Apocalypse will take place in the very early 1980's and it will feature a young scott, jean and storm as well as channing tatum as gambit

also rumored but not confirmed yet is that members from previous X films will be in it

I'm guessing first class beast, & Havok as Scott's father.

Hiuh? I certainly think it did as evidenced by my last post and I feel most fans will think so as well. As for that poll, it came out before DoFP and thus wasn't included. If the poll was redone, I'd expect DoFP to "win".

Originally posted by pym-ftw

We had this discussion (and explanation) with you one page earlier in the thread. Is your memory faulty?

BTW, I thought DOFP was excellent. Undecided for the moment how high it ranks in the X-Men films, but it's in the top three along with X2 & First Class.

And the post-credits sequence...stay for it.

Sounds good. They could also explore the relationship between Eric and Pietro, and how that changes when they find out about their bloodship. Gambit could start with the brotherhood but end with the X-Men as well.


Not sure where Mystique and Wolverine will fit in now though. But I'm sure they have something interesting planned for them.

Mystique could be recruiting for Apocalypse. That could also be how Wolverine gets his adamantium in the new timeline. It would be awesome to see Gambit on the brotherhood or even as one of the horsemen. Same for Nightcrawler.

^Well, Sansa from the first few seasons is wimpy and naive, yes. But that's the character, and she's on the verge of developing backbone now. I'm just glad they didn't go with Chloe Grace Moretz; she's done too many of these roles.

They should've gone with Saoirse Ronan, Sophie Turner doesn't seem to fit the character. Also, that chick they got to play young Storm sucks bad.

Who knows, we may be singing a new tune come the next season of Thrones.

Look at Emma in first class and Wolverine Origins. In one she's a young adult when Charles is as well, the other she's a teenager when Charles is a fully grown man.


Also of note, apparently Jubilee will be in the movie as well.

So i assume Wolverine will be one of the horsemen of the apocalypse since mystique got to him and I assume Apocalypse will be the one to give him adamantium...I am also hoping Gambit and Quicksilver will be the other two, I doubt they would bring in angel

We've come a long way since the first X-Men in 2000. They really feel secure in going for the colours in costume design now.

Apoc does look terrible tbh.

Honestly, I thought it'd be much worse. But yes, we deserve much better than that, obviously.

Well, it would suit the character as Apocalypse is a known Jobber.....so, honestly it'd be spot on.

Personally, I just don't like his looks, as well as the looks of many other characters in the movie. Singer just can't stand letting super heroes look like super heroes.

Firstly as you know, I'm not a big fan of any 1 Director staying on the same franchise for too long. That's one point where I 100% agree with that tool John Campea.

Second his first 2 X-Men movies didn't get that X-Men were a team, and he was the reason that Trilogy became a Wolverine trilogy instead of an X-Men trilogy.

Third, I do think Singer did a great job with DOFP, but people forget that was all set up by Mathew Vaughn before Singer took over. So I personally feel (after also taking First Class into account) the majority of credit should go to Mathew Vaughn for getting the X-Men movie franchise back on track.

In terms of writers I'm Iffy on Kinberg also. He wrote DOFP (with a lot of Vaughn's input though). But he also wrote X-Men Last Stand, and the new Fantastic Four movie.

So now with Singer and Kinberg doing Apocalypse, I am really worried about it. If they knock it out of the park, then that's great, but I still feel they should leave the franchise while things are good, and pass the torch on to some new people. Instead of sticking around until they royally screw up (again).

I really hope they surprise us at the end by having him mutate/transform into his comic book look (which isn't difficult and looks so much better than this rubbish). Otherwise I will walk out of this disappointed tbh.

It's not like he looks perfect in the comics, with that cheesy A on his belt. I'm okay with his look, and I love that he can increase his mass hugely in the movie.

I'm liking Apoc here as well.

The big problem I see (for me at least) is Jennifer Lawrence. I'm so damn sick of her and it seems she is going to once more have a large role...

Well obviously they should get rid of the "A" on his belt. But the face and costume/armour isn't right. Should have been CGI Imo.

I thought they fixed his look quite a bit. Since first trailer at least.

Oh it's definitely improved. Looked outright awful before.

Still ain't Apoc though.

Not until he has a giant A belt sly

You can say that about pretty much every FOX-Men character, to be fair.

I know, but for some reason when they announced Apocalypse, I was just expecting comic book Apoc.

Should we list all those villains that got messed up over the years by Fox, Sony and even MCU...?

Actually, I was afraid Apoc would be just a boy with telekinesis powers and immortality. I'm relieved.

100% comicbook Apoc on the big screen would've been awesome, but only Disney could get it right, with TONS of good CGI and luck.

Its singer who doesn't give shit about actually reading the comics, Just flips through a book and moves on.

Not sure I'll go. Been slowly losing interest since the first class. The amount of inconsistencies in these movies. If you're going to replace 90% of the original cast just reboot the whole thing already instead of keeping this messed up continuity. Time travel retcon has never been a good plot. Also the last three movies were centered around Mystique which i'd be fine with if she had some sort of connection to the comicbook character. But its like they've created a completely new character that happens to have a similar name and powers to a certain comicbook character. If I had to make a comparison with another franchise it feels like watching a 2 hour long Star Ward Christmas Special to me. Same universe but completely different characters I can't get myself to care about.

Valid reasons to dislike those movies, sure...

... but your credibility died when you admitted you liked TASM 2.

I still say that this is the best Spider-man portrayal on the big screen to this today. It just wasn't a very good movie for an average (non-Spider fan) viewer. On the other hand X-men movies might as well be a fanfic at this point.

So Parker uses his super-science to create an automatic lock in his room so he can masturbate to some photos of an average blond girl from his class?

Continuity gets messed with all the time, in comics themselves, too. DOFP was a fantastic movie, guess you're just not a fan of Xavier/Mags bromance/conflict. There are entire megathreads about them - more than 50 years of comics. Very interesting read, I may link you later.

The way i see the movies is that they're another universe

like with the comics you have the 616, Ultimate universe (Which now is with the 616) and all the various other ones.

No, that would be an accurate portrayal of any male teenager's life. I'm talking about heroics mixed with humor. Character in general like that scene with a kid who was bullied in an alley etc.


Actually Magneto/Xavier bromance is the part I like about the movies. It's all the other stuff. Like how the fck did X-men became a story about a love triangle (square?) between Magneto/Charles/Mystique/Beast. Also when they started Xavier was a wrinkly old man in a wheel chair, while Jean, Storm etc. we're in their late 20s early 30s. Now they are all roughly the same age. Because screw it, time travel. Just dress them all up in jumpsuits and helmets and call the movie "power ranges". These movies have about as much incommon with them as they do with the X-men comics.

What? They are not all the same age. The new Jean, Scott and Storm all look to be in their late teens in this, while Xavier has entered his early 40's (And both he and Alex Summers are rocking that early 80's Duran Duran hair, as this is set in 1983, right?) Mystique ages at a much slower rate due to her powers.
