When was WO even supposed to take place? Didn't professor X show up at the end, same age as always? WO took place in modern times didn't it? That would mean no real inconsistency. Especially if they never reveal the character's age in either movie.

Think it began in the DOFP timeline, but ended up in the 80's (Apocalypse timeline). Yeah no point sticking to that as it takes no sense, and they've already contradicted it A LOT.
Wolverine: Origins took place mainly in the mid-1980's. It would fit, in Xavier knowing Logan has been wandering for the previous 15 years with no memory.
But they can ignore the events of WO with impunity, since DOFP has reset the timeline from 1973 onward, into something new.

They've already made so many contradictions that Deadpool's age should hardly be an issue.
Also I've seen the X-men pannel, barely recognized anyone. They recast most of the actors.

Maybe when he agrees to the procedure. But it would be a drag if it was all period based. These X-Men prequels should stop after X-Men: Apocalypse next year, and if Wade crosses over into X-films set in the present day, then characters like Weasel and Blind Al are just going to be so much older.

It's easy to age them with makeup & such. They are already supposed to be much older men. They can keep those actors in their roles. I just hope the younger actors cast as the younger Jean, Scott and Storm can age into their characters.

just watched both trailers, as someone who hates ryan Reynolds this role was make for him.. Deadpool is going to be good... like the X-Men connection and clearly the film takes place in present day
You knew what this was from day one, Stilt. We read the same book every once in a while then each get back to our favorite titles. Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
