We may have witnessed professor X coming back, but Cyke still remains to be seen. Regardless, I don't expect anything climactic to happen between Cyclops and Apocalypse like in the comics since it's Singer we're talking about. And that's assuming Scott will even be in the film unlike his glaring omission in First Class.

But in order to do a proper aoa story or a basic apocalypse orgin you cant do it without cyke since cables involved with him. But cant wait for EN SABAH NUR to make his debut and beat some ***

Ridley_Prime
Cyclops was also a major part of the whole Phoenix storyline, and look how badly they executed that in X3 The Last Stand. They could very well **** it up again with Cyke far as his involvement in this AoA setting or whatever. Singer dislikes Cyclops on a personal level too from what I had heard repeatedly.

But other than that yeah. Can't wait to see Poccy in action. Hope they showcase his origins some in ancient Egypt (via flashback at the beginning of the film or something) before he got the celestial tech, but I reckon movie Apocalypse will probably be shrouded in mystery far as those kind of details.

Cable will be the old Wolverine(Jackman) from the future . Yeah I'm calling it.

Ridley_Prime
Dammit, stop reminding me of that.

Well regardless, with how Logan did against Phoenix in X3, I reckon they'll wank him further by making his claws able to cut through Apocalypse's celestial armor even though he was shown unable to do that before IIRC.

I'm thinking the same thing. They did mentioned a possible X-Force spin off so this would be the perfect time to introduce the character.

I hope they dont bastardise cable like that. I would rather them make him a random new histroy than make him old wolvie.

Ridley_Prime
With the amount of Wolverine cocksucking (especially in the movies) it's not out of the realm of possibility though. In fact it's rather likely if anything.

So who do y'all think will actually play Apocalypse in the movie? Am sure there will be a bunch of CG involved with him in the movie, but I hope whoever does him has a good deep voice.

Plus they'll think it's the perfect way to keep having Jackman around without worrying about him aging. You just know they're gonna do it. We might as well accept it now. As well as accepting that Cyclops will never be portrayed well until X-Men is rebooted, which probably won't be happening this decade.

We should just try and enjoy the movies for anything else good they can bring to it. Fingers crossed for an awesome battle between the X-Men and Apoc!

Aye. May not like it (nothing against Jackman as an actor), but I already have come to accept it at this point, so yeah.

thumb up
As I said when I edited my last post, who do you think will play Apocalypse? Am sure whoever does will be mostly involved with the voice, since the celestial armor and stuff for Apoc would be CG.

Not sure what to think of that yet if it's really the case... If it creates a cool fused being like Onslaught (Xavier + Magneto), chances are I'd like the result that comes from a Magneto and Apocalypse fusion, but on the other hand... I'd be disappointed that I wouldn't get to see a Magneto vs Apoc fight in live action.

Plus too, if the fused character mostly uses Magneto's powers, then Apocalypse himself may as well have not been in the film. I hope there's at least a decent plot reason or something for them merging (assuming again this is what will really happen in the film). Maybe it has to do with something based off The Twelve arc (when Apocalypse and Cyclops were temporarily merged by accident) ? I dunno.

Esau Cairn
Ok I haven't really been paying too much to the X-Men franchise so I'm a bit confused...

Is there 2 Xmen movies coming out/in production?

X4 & the sequel to 1st Class????

ares834
No.

There is Days of Future Past. It is a "sequel" to X3/The Wolverine but they send Wolverine back in time so it is also serves as a sequel to First Class.

They are also developing an X-Force film and an Apocalypse film but where these two fall in the timeline aren't really known.

So this movie will dominantly feature the younger cast from 1st Class with cameos of Jackman, Picard & McKellen?

ares834
Yeah, according to Singer the original cast will only be in it for 25-30%.

Esau Cairn
And yet by Logan's cameo in 1st Class, he doesn't seem to age compared to every characters' younger cast.

Ridley_Prime
That's because he's Logan. I'm just more worried about the Apocalypse and Magneto fusion being true.

ares834
That's because Logan is practically immortal due to his healing factor. He is well over 100 years old during the movies.

i don't think that will turn out true

Darth Martin
So this basically means they're reverting back to the Singer timeline and doing away with Fassbender/McAvoy.

**** this shit.

I agree. Still... Mother****ing Apocalypse to look forward to, assuming they don't ruin/butcher him.

Well this kinda sucks but it would be cool if apocalypse does this to mags and then maybe the president kinda starting a war between mutants and humans but this plot did happen in the comics but it was cyclops he merged with.

Apoc won't be an alien says Bryan Singer

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=91256

Ridley_Prime
I guess that means the thing about Poccy merging with Magneto is also false then? Because he was referred to as an alien in that page/link.

Thank the lord.

BruceSkywalker
besides when you think about it the reason it was leaked was to get people talking way before the film even comes out so after they see the film and stay for the credits then the post credit scene will turn out to be something else

I wonder if cyke would return

Kazenji
Even if he did....like it would matter.

jinXed by JaNx
Yeah, they wrote, Cyclops out of the script a LOOOOng time ago. It would take a powerful script or director to reintroduce Cyclops into the films...,so if you're a Cyclops fan don't expect anything from any of the upcoming marvel movies. Bryan Singer obviously identified with Wolverine more than anyone else so, that's why he's the center of attention.

Sad news. Since they won't give Cyclops his proper due until they recast him preferably with someone a lot more famous.

I want Bryan Singer to die of a heart attack or get caught butt****ing a child on camera or something.

Harsh words- I really don't mean the man any ill will- but it seems like those are the only two ways to keep his lame ass off of X-men projects.

WHY DOES HE KEEP GETTING SCRIPTS?

why does everyone think this is a wolverine jerf fest when they plainly said professor x will be the main focus of the movie

DARTH POWER
Well Prof X doesn't exactly get much action. So who will be the main action hero of the movie I wonder?

Best weer can hope for is that this movie focuses on charles, eric and logan. All 3 of them.

rox
it should be the whole team.

rox
Do yall think legion will be featured.

Ralph Fiennes is the perfect choice of Mr. Sinister.

I think kefer sutherland would be a good choice

Not that I'm complaining, as they probably thought it would've been silly to have on the big screen like Wolverine in a yellow spandex or something. Regardless, him telekinetically forming a pyramid while everyone's chanting En Sabah Nur (his real name) was pretty dope.

Doesn't matter. He's the leader of the ****ing X-Men, and has been arguably the main character in more big arcs than anyone else.

He's part of the foundations of the X-Men lore, and like him or not, he hasn't been represented properly in the movies, or to an extent befitting his role within the lore.

No you don't want that. You know what Fox is like with Cyclops. If they don't cast someone at least semi-famous/popular then he'll just be a cameo again. And not even an exciting cameo.

Remember he's still going to take a back seat to Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine and Mystique. And they're also going to be more bothered about giving Quicksilver more screen time than Cyclops now due to his popularity in this movie.

So then we're left with Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Nightcrawler and Gambit. Gambit has someone well known playing him, so if you want more Cyclops than Gambit you will have to hope it's someone more famous playing Cyk.

Tbh now that I've written all that I don't think there's really any point bringing Cyclops into this, because he won't get the role he deserves. The only saving grace for Cyclops at this point would be some kind of X-Men spin off team where he's in the top 2-3 main characters and preferably takes charge of the team.

For young scott i recommend liam hemsworth or zac efron.

To do a true wolvie after hugh jackman retires the role i suggest jake gyllenhal.

The only way Fox will give Cyclops a decent role in the next film is if they cast someone well known and popular. Otherwise he's just going to get side stepped again.

Cyclops is the Quintessential leader. And you can have Awesome action sequences with his powers too. Problem is you wouldn't know that if you mainly know him from the films.

But basically if he's not a bankable character on the big screen atm then it's because they haven't TRIED to make him bankable. In fact in the first 3 films Wolverine was the only bankable character because he was the only character they even attempted to make popular. They really didn't give anyone else a chance. There was Nightcrawler in X2 who stood out but then he disappeared for the third one.

TH3_V01D
I wouldnt say he is a weak leader, he is just not popular as Wolverine the ''bad boy''.

Wolverine's the most popular because the whole of the first 3 movies were dedicated to making him the most popular character.

I think the problem is the actor honestly, James Marsden doesn't command presence like Michael Fassbender. If they used a better actor, I think it would work.

Actually I've recently seen some of James Marsden's other work. He's in a few kids films, and romcoms. And he's actually a really good actor, which just shows it was the role he was given in X-Men. They made Cyclops really whiny and wimpy, the complete opposite of what he is.

But I see your point, an actor with a more commanding presence would have suited Cyclops much better. But of course so would a better role for him in the script.

DARTH POWER

Viewers of cartoons and readers of comics are not your general audience. Most your GA didn't even know who the X-Men were before the first X-Men movie.

-Pr-
Eh, Wolverine is always going to be the cool one; the popular one.

Not everyone gets to be the cool guy, but that doesn't lessen their importance to the team. You think Wolverine would have had as many good X-Men arcs if he didn't have Cyclops to play off of, and vice versa?

Cyclops isn't the popular one. He never will be; but that doesn't make him any less important to the team. He's, imo, a well-written, deep character, and people can appreciate that if given the chance.

While Wolverine is the one doing the cool shit, Cyclops is the one making sure Professor X's mission gets taken care of, and that everyone comes home alive.

Every Raphael needs a Leonardo, and vice versa.

DARTH POWER
Yeah team movies works with one character playing off the other. And hey talking about popularity, is Prof. X the most popular X-Men? Or the most exciting? Nope. But you have him there (and as the lead character in the latest movie which will probably be the biggest X-Men movie to date) because of his importance to the story and the lore. And it's getting the lore and the story right, then adding the more "popular" characters around that which is what makes a great film, cartoon or comic book.

-Pr-
Yeah, it was treated far more as a "Xavier and Magneto" movie than anything else, I thought.

DARTH POWER
There were 4 or 5 main characters (like it should be), but it honestly seemed like Charles was the lead character to me. I think that's also what Simon Kinberg said about writing the script ages ago.

YES! My two favorite xmen may have a comeback! Them two and Cyke are my top 3. Two of them have been raped beyond recognition and two of them have only been in one film. One of them fits both those categories. sad

Bring them all back, do them all well, keep Magneto as the absolute beast he is, make Apoc the most epic movie villain to date, and this will be my favorite X-men movie.

wakkawakkawakka
So if nobody is there to hold him back, won't Singer just proceed to making another Wolverine wank-fest? I mean DoFP wasn't one but I attribute that success to Matt Vaughn more than anything.

What involvement did Matt Vaughn have with DoFP again? If he didn't have anything to do with it then I might actually be willing to give Singer the benefit of the doubt for once, but if the opposite is true and there's no one to hold Singer back this time, then yeah. I would worry too.

Matt directed First Class and showed everyone that a good Xmen movie could be made without focusing on Wolverine. He's also the dude that laid the ground work for DoFP to take place so my comment was in jest of that.

I doubt it because in the past they were like "these movies have probably only been successful because we make them all about Wolverine. " But now they know their most successful X-Men movie was with Wolverine having a main role but not being the All and end All. Whilst the best critically acclaimed X-Men movie only had 1 scene with Wolverine. And both these movies with "less" Wolverine have been the highest rated by fans.

So they will have learned their lesson now. And I'm sure they're confident having such huge stars as Fassbender, Lawrence and Macavoy leading the new trilogy.

But yes you're right that Mathew Vaughn laid the ground work for DOFP.

Oh, okay. I knew he had directed First Class, but couldn't remember what he did regarding DoFP.

Even if it's thinking too far ahead atm, what do you think the chances are of Apocalypse being in a sequel to his debut movie? Killing off Shaw was one thing, but would hate (in the long run) for Poccy off all characters to be a one-off/one-time villain in the live action X-Menverse. I mean the movies could still use more recurring antagonists besides Magneto (Sinister could easily fit the bill for that too though).

DARTH POWER
I doubt they will kill Apoc. I think he would be recurring like Magneto. Simply because they've done Sentinels now, they done Phoenix and they've even done Juggernaut (as badly as he was done).

So they need a great villain now who can come back again and again. But yeah Sinister is bound to be next.

You'll just have to imagine the Apocal-

More Cyke yo

Robtard
Hope they go with Chloe Grace Moretz, she's the better actress of the three

Who cares about Cyclops

Quincy
Man I cant wait to see Cyclops get some stuff to do, hopefully it'll have everything that First Class promised.

best post in here thumb up

Having him decimate a sentinel with his optic blast would be raddddddddddddddddddddd.

I would have just loved to see him with the original crew. Angel, Iceman, Beast, Jean. That'd be perfect.

juggerman
He should do the "Get off my lawn!" and then GTFO

Who cares about Cyclops eh, Steinfeld is exceptional.


Both Elle Fanning and Chloe Moretz are pedobear (and Marwash) approved jailbait.

none of these are bad choices.

Though why they're going so young is a mystery to me. Doesn't make sense. Although it would have made perfect sense if they had the brains to take advantage of Wolverine changing time and took the opportunity to recast everyone... but they didn't, so this is lame.

RIGHT? They should have just reset the whole continuity/universe.

Ridley_Prime
So... back to Apocalypse.

Feel good on the casting choice for him? (Isaac's also in Star Wars episode VII) After seeing all he said there, he seems to show some promise, so am having a bit of confidence he'll do the character justice. smile

Don't really recall her acting in True Grit tbh, I'd have to rewatch that and I'm not sure I want to any time soon

Yeah, the teenage casting for her makes no sense

Wolverine went back in time 50 years in DOFP.

So even if Cyclops and Jean Grey are 15 in Apocalypse, that would make them 55 when Wolverine saw them alive again in the future. That's silly enough, but any older than that would just be ridiculous.

steverules_2
They didn't look 55, Jean looked plastic as ever cause Famke Janssen ruined her face trying to stay young

Quincy
They had the chance to really reboot everything and make it canon and half-assed it

That wasn't really Jean in DoFP, it was Logan's dreams

She did look like crap though, another victim to the surgery craze

ares834
Huh, what are you talking about? That was the present not a dream.

DARTH POWER
Yeah him dreaming was in "The Wolverine."

huge fan of X-Man series

wish an Egyptian was cast as apocalypse.

Sansa as Jean Grey?

Edit: Truthfully, while she is pretty good in GoT, it seems like a weird choice.

Robtard
Sansa should make a good young Jean thumb up

Seems the film will be set in 1983, or tens years after DoFP

We've got our Jean, Cyclops, and Storm. I'm onboard with Jean. Don't know the other two.

Kid Cyke definitely does not look the part. Neither does Storm, actually.
