I was thinking more about Apocalypse.In X3 I was thinking make it appear Magneto has died.I think it would be best to maybe have a huge Sentinal onslaught overpower him and he is belived dead.He comes back in the next film,playing a crucial part in the defeat of Apocalypse.
Then I thought more on the mutant serum that is supposed to be in X3.That should be linked to Apocalypse or sinister.The serum is supposed to cure mutants,but in all reality it kills MOST of them.A small percent of mutants with extreamly potent blood survive the serum.This way Apocalypse can know which mutants are naturaly born supreame.
I like the idea of Cable playing a big part in Apoc defeat...maybe have Magneto, Cyclops, Jean, Gambit and the others hit him really hard...then he knocks them all out...Cable being the only one standing and he appearently destroys Apoc....but not really. thier could also be a 15 to 20 minute flashback of Cable future in which Apoc has taken it over...a grim depressing world..he travels to or present hoping to defeat apoc and bring order back to his world.
Apoc does really die his soul survives he goes back to Egypt and posses someone...a close ally or follower and says.
"this is only a small delay Xmen...I can not be defeated nor killed...I am enternal....you will not deny me....the age of Apocalypse will come."
he's weaken...so he goes to heal in his chamber....he targets the four who were repondible for his downfall as his next horsemen....Cable, Magneto, Storm and Jean. meanwhile Sinister believes Apoc is dead and decides to plot a screme of his own...the legacy virus.
yeah I could see Forge making a device that would make all the xmen go into super mutant form so they could destory Apoc....have Cable reach his full potenitanl when he believes Apoc has killed all the Xmen and Brotherhood.
Cable: enough is enough Apocalypse....you may have infected me with this virus...you may have taken over the world..but you won't..take..me.(then hit's him with a super teleknetic bolt of energy.)
Apocalypse: this can not be...foolish insect..I am Apocalypse..I am immortal!!
(Cable float up to the gaint Apocalypse glowing with mental energy)
Cable: Immortal huh....then why do I see the look of death in your eyes.
they get into it....this big 15 20 minute brawl.....showing flash backs of young Cable..I think for movie purposes Jean should be Cable mom...that way we can avoid the whole Jean clone storyline...and when Cable see Jean on the ground like the others..he could have an emotional bound to her... he could be like.."Apocalypse hurt my mommy"

Sinister didn't create the Legacy Virus. He was tricked into releasing it, unbeknowest to him, by Stryfe.

Yeah the point is to adapt comic book material into a movie, so to simplify things it could be sinister. (I mean stryfe being a clone of cable and all...)
Personally I think we need to be veeeery careful with time travel, I'm not entirely sure I think Cable should even be in it, but if we do then it would be cool to show a bit of dark gritty future ruled by Apocalypse (IMO "the adventures of cyclops and pheonix" is a great example of that future).
If we have cable then we should also skip the fact htat he was born in the present, since jean would have to get pregnant and give birth, even though that would give maternal and paternal feelings to cyke and jean.
Btw looking great so far! 😄
I think it would be best to have Psylocke be less extreame in apperance for X3.She's more Betsy than Psylocke in the first film.I was thinking her role would either be helping Xavier stopping Phoenix or a few brief cameos throughout the film.I belive if she's helping Xavier stop Phoenix it would be best for her to die (and come back as the new Pslocke).The only problem with this is it would be rather pointless to have her die so quickly.Or would it?

Dont kill her off like that. I think she shouldn't transform and come back psylocke but from the start be an asian girl with an british accent (and maybe the purple hair, depends on how it would look). I think only the psychic knife thing should be her power, and I'd vote for cameos (like have some fighting scenes which doesnt mean they're not important, she could help fight Phoenix).
I'll try to look for it.(I think I got rid of it though)
It needed some work,but after Wolverine leaves the X mansion in X men 1 he searched for answers a lot longer in my script.A matter of fact,in the X2 script I made he didn't even get back with the team until half way through the film!
Anyhow,his quest leads him to a hole in the wall bar.Only this time Wolverine isn't dealing with drunken cage fighters.He realizes some one has pick pocketed him and he catches the theif down a dark alley.Gambit charges Wolverines own wallet at him and thinks he has taken out a helpless suspect.Wolverine,however,manages to sneak up on the theif and pops the claws at the Cajuns throat.Gambit spits a charged wad of gum in Logans face and escapes again.I can't remember how I had the rest of it now,but they end up fighting together and Gambit plays out almost as Wolverines little annoying brother for the first half.
This is a premise I came up with for a third movie. A lot of people won’t like it because it’s not as faithful to the comicverse as it should be, but I’d say it’s faithful to the movieverse. It draws more on the Ultimate series, the game and the movies (and the Dark Willow Buffy season) than the traditional Uncanny cannon because realistically a lot of the Uncanny DP saga could never translate into a movie without being just plain silly. Open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism (if you think it's completely crap your welcome to your opinion but I don't need to know lol) and any ideas anyone likes they're welcome to use.
We are shown that Jean had enormous potential but little control as a child and that Xavier was forced to dampen her powers.
We recall the death of Jean Grey as she began to realise that potential, through the eyes of Scott. He sleeps on one side of the bed he once shared with her, the other side is pristine.
6 Months after the tragedy at Alkali Lake and the Mutant Registration Act was passed with a slim majority. Scott decides he can no longer stay with the X-Men, he feels responsible for Jean’s death and everything around the mansion reminds him of her. Professor Xavier tells him of a strange power surge felt in the Alkali Lake region and manages to convince him to stay to investigate it. He and Logan leave for Alkali Lake.
Storm has been made de facto leader of the team, now comprised of Nightcrawler, Rogue, Iceman and Shadowcat. She leads them in a Danger Room session. Iceman is attracted to Shadowcat, and the untouchable Rogue can see this.
Mystique discovers that Stryker project has not been halted but instead has been expanded into a new Weapon X initiative, privately funded by a Dr Bolivar Trask, with three branches: creation of mutant hunting sentient robots (Sentinels), enhancement of ordinary humans (Juggernaut), and the exploitation of mutants for military means headed by a Dr Nathaniel Essex (Archangel, Psylocke transformations… X4 maybe). Magneto takes this as a cue to declare an all out war on humanity.
Magneto comes to Charles one last time to try and convince him that his way is right and to tell him that this time if he or his X-Men interfere then he will do what is necessary. He tells him of the new Weapon X initiative, over a game of chess of course. Charles is shocked but still rebuffs the idea of violent means. Magneto then tells him who exactly is the subject of the human enhancement experiments, Cain Marko, Charles’ abusive step-brother. Possible elaboration on why Cain hates Charles.
At Alkali Lake Logan and Scott see the devastation wrought by the surge of energy as the ground is scorched and the trees are dead. They soon find the cause, Jean, dressed as she was when she supposedly died. She looks at them as if for the first time. Logan inspects her noting she looks like Jean and smells like Jean. He kisses her, to Scott’s dismay, to see if she tastes like Jean. She flares up burning off half his face, before flying off. We see Logan heal.
They return to the mansion. Magneto tells Charles to tell them the truth about Jean, his first pupil.
As they speak Sentinels begin an assault on the mansion with Magneto as their prime target, Juggernaut sans helmet leads them. Magneto crushes the monolithic robots like tin cans. Juggernaut goes after Charles, the X-Men attack to find that he is physically invulnerable. Rogue attempts to drain off his power and finds that it’s too much for her to handle. Charles begins to psionically attack him. Magneto offers Juggernaut the opportunity to join him, in exchange for shielding him from Charles.
Something goes wrong at the Sentinel plant, the master mold begins to change the Sentinel specifications, the machines begin to evolve, they begin targeting not only those with active powers, but those that simply carry the X-gene. They logically deduce that all humans are individuals and therefore variants or mutants, their directive is to hunt mutants so they begin to hunt humanity as a whole.
The Sentinels attack New York City, the X-Men try to stop them. The Brotherhood arrive and assist, but Magneto asserts that they are not there to help the humans they are there to help the mutants. Rogue is charmed by Gambit currently a Brotherhood member. Tension between Iceman and Pyro. Shadowcat discovers that her phasing disrupts circuits, Rogue discovers she’s retained Juggernauts super-strength. Possible Lucas Bishop cameo.
Phoenix has been following Logan and Scott since Alkali Lake, she knows them and yet she doesn’t remember how. She watches Scott fight from an alleyway. Her enhanced powers also begin to trouble her, here in the city there are so many more minds than in the solitude of Alkali Lake. She can hear the pain and the suffering as the Sentinels attack, she can feel the fear.
This culminates when she sees Scott struck down by a Sentinel, critically (but not definitively fatally) wounded. Her memories flood back to her, she flies to his side obliterating the Sentinel that attacked him. She cries over him, then we see a change in her. He orange and white fire becomes orange and black. The pain and suffering of others, and her own pain and suffering have gotten to her. The power has gotten to her, turning her from Phoenix to Dark Phoenix.
From the skies she destroys the Sentinels, without regard to who gets in the crossfire. People begin running not from the Sentinels but from her. Storm takes to the skies to try and take DP down. She hurls lightning at her but DP just absorbs it and TKs back at her. The other X-Men attempt to take her down but fail. Magneto joins the fray taking together Sentinel scrap and balling DP up in it. She bursts free and flies off in a streak of dark fire.
Magneto and Charles both know where she’s going because at her core she’s still Jean. A quaint cosy home in Annandale-on-Hudson. Charles and Magneto approach Dark Phoenix, Magneto protecting him from the wrath of Jean. Charles and Jean battle on the astral plane, her mind is divided into two entities Jean and the powerful Phoenix persona. Charles is not powerful enough. In the end it is Scott and his love for Jean that saves her from herself.
In the aftermath, the Sentinel attack has shown that there is no line in the sand between humans and mutants that they are one and the same. That of course doesn't stop Magneto or anyone else from suggesting differently.

It's very good, with striking visuals and good plot. The last sentences should deffinetly be one of profs talks, maybe over jean resting in bed with scott sitting next to her.
I think u should go into jean a bit more since we hardly see her until the end, maybe build/hype her up a bit more, maybe sometime cut into show her lashing out. Xavier must say something about jean (that truth thing about his first pupil), that she had immense powers or potential for them that she couldnt handle, so they (or she) put in mental blocks (that's gone now). We need to know she's powerful before the fight, so it doesnt come just sudden, since it's a very big deal.
I think mentioning the whole liberty island thing would be good, since that seems to be what evolved her in the movies, for example, scott and logan say jeans different, scott says she's been different since liberty island, turn to magneto, someone proposes maybe the machine did have an effect on mutants, evolving them to the next step or something.
Anyway good work! 😄

Didn't really fully elaborate on this. I would show how Jean's powers first emerged, the car accident when she was about 10 or so. Her friend, Annie Richardson, is dying in her arms and she can feel the pain and fear. She lashes out releasing a wave of TK/telepathic energy that crumples cars and uproots trees. The bystanders clutch at their skulls as they are knocked out by the psionic blast. Jean is alone amongst the destruction in a pool of blood.
Following this Xavier (and possible Eric) come see Jean. She's alone in her room, she lies on a floating bed and everything else in the room revolves around her at varying speeds. She shows no strain whatsoever using her powers.
Later when Xavier reveals that he put blocks in her mind. This scene would be expanded. And during the following the discussion, yes they would mention the Liberty Island change.
In terms of hyping her up more, possibly as Xavier supervises the Danger Room session there's a flashback of a teenaged Jean in the Danger Room, where we see her become frustrated/frightened and lash out. Trying to think of more scenes for her. Also I'd like to have her atomize something at some point during the movie. 😄
Like your ending idea, and yeah would be a Xavier voiceover. Something that's adequately concluding but doesn't proclude another instalment to the franchise.
This would be my opening credits scene.
MAGNETO VOICEOVER
There is only one constant in the universe and that is change. Evolution is change, the process by which novel traits and species emerge from their predecessors. Often evolution requires destruction; war has always been the greatest mother of invention. The strongest steel must be forged through fire and thus evolution deems that only the strong rise from the ashes of the past… like a phoenix reborn.
EXT. ALKALI LAKE, CANADA
The waters have receded. A red-haired woman lies naked on her side in a foetal position. Her face is unclear but her identity is not. Zoom into her skull through layers of flesh and bone to a lifeless neuron. A spark of orange fire lights up the neuron and this fire travels through the brain and down a nerve to a lifeless heart. When it hits the sinoatrial node a wave of fiery orange electrical activity spreads through the heart and it beats. The camera enters the heart and follows red blood cells as they begin to pump around the body. The fire follows too, as the blood is pumped to an ocular artery. Zoom out from the blood stream through fluids, the lens and the eyelid to a close-up of the closed eye. It opens filled with flames. Fire spreads from her body in all directions along the ground melting ice, burning trees instantly to cinder and scorching the earth. Zoom into the iris/pupil as the doors to Cerebro close around it. Zoom in on the ocular scanner.

Good, very good... with a bit more interpersonal conflict could be even better...
needs more scott and logan...
and last but not least, if logan ever attempted to kiss jean in front of scott, for whatever reason, scott would most likely shoot him...
