Sequels Apocalypse's Four Horsemen--Which characters?

Four new mutants. Maybe have Archangel, but that's it.

 

Apocalypse is the main villain, right? So new faceless henchmen are fine, and if you want a named character to be a horseman, use Archangel, so he gets more story. It's only over crowded if each and every character needs a lot of story to set up, like what would happen if FOUR existing characters had to have explanations as to why they're working for Apoc.

 

If they're pre-existing characters, people are going to want to know why they're there.

 

I concur.

I too think the four horsemen should be returning characters in the movieverse. Then we can see how much it advances their powers. My candidates have always been Angel as Death, Cylcops as War, Rogue as Pestilence and Mystique as Famine.

 

Exactly. It's not repetitive and it doesn't require much screen time. It's not as though the original four horsemen needed much of a set-up, so introducing new characters for Famine, Pestilence, and War shouldn't be a problem.

 

Aside from Archangel, leave the other Horsemen as nameless, faceless badguys. In fact, forget the horsemen altogether: they suck and Apoc does too.

 

angel, gambit, savertooth, and polaris

 

I think their power should give them away and have it be like a easter egg for fans and not really name them. I don't think they should be existing characters though. Maybe Archangel but nobody else that would add origins we don't need.

 

^that is a good idea.

 

Mr Sinister should be in the movie if Apocalypse is

 

rogue should definitely become one when she realises that her powers have come back and becomes desperate

I would say get angel as well to replace a henchman he took down in battle.

the rest should be nameless easter eggs.

 

3 of the depowered mutants (Magneto, Mystique, Rogue) plus Angel

 

leave magneto and mystique out of an x-men film, he's hogged 3 already...

 

Id have sinister in the 4th movie who has Cyclops captured doing experiments on him (he saved him from jean), and the X-Men fight him and his Marauders, with harpoon injuring Angel and him having to have his wings amputeted, thus having him seek out Apocalyspe in the 5th movie.

 

That would be one packed out movie........

 

you would be one packed movie!!!! haha just joshin yat:...ya that WAY too much for a single film.

 

i think definitely rogue and angel should be horsemen, and then unimportant others. magneto already has his powers back and im not sure that i care about mystiques powers being back or not...

 

I say go with the dead characters: Prof. X, Cyclops, Jean, and Sabertooth I guess. Though I'd be cool either way.

I kinda like the Apocalypse story from X-Men Evolution.

 

i dont think their should be a four horsemen lineup without angel in it....other wise what was the point of adding him into x3 other than to pack in as many muties as possible.

 

Not to mention the blue skinned, metal winged Archangel would look awesome in live action. Scary too.

 

^too true, too true
