Apocalypse Costumes of the 80s

I would love to see the blue and yellow costumes like First Class.

But if it's not the case, I would like something inspired by this for Scott:

And something inspired by this for Storm:

Or with a mohawk:

And for Jean I can't think of anything but this:

One thing I'm always concerned about is that they'll put Cyclops in a skull cap one day. It's not a likely situation, but who knows.
 
Storm with the leather jacket is very 1980s and a possibility.

I wouldn't mind Cyclops with the cowl. Would be something new.

Or maybe the 90s-style cowl with the hair exposed.

-R


The film is set in the 80s. IMO, Cyclops should keep the cowl. He should also get the blue and white X-Factor suit since that was his 80s look.

Jean should go green and gold.

Beast should just be blue trunks.

Wolverine needs the brown suit sine he wore that throughout the 80s up until 1992.

Storm spent most of the 80s with the leather and mohawk look. She needs it back.

Magneto doesn't need a comic accurate costume but in the 80s, he wore purple and black and went helmetless. I'd like to see a throwback to that.

Apocalypse just needs to go with the blue and silver armored look.

Archangel should go with his Fall of the Mutants costume since that story is the one being adapted anyway + it's his most iconic.

The age of Cyclop's and Jean's actors makes me think that the next film is going to be set in the late 1980s instead of the 90s, in which case I'm hoping that X7 is set in 1987 or 1988 Storm would get her black and gold Inferno costume, Cyclops would retain his costume but go hoodless, Jean would switch to red and yellow or green and white with a big X across the chest, Beast would switch to a red and black bodysuit and Wolverine would look the same. Gambit and Bishop would join the team. Since Kinberg said that DOFP was indeed a reboot and characters may be born earlier, I'd also introduce Iceman, Rogue, Colossus and Shadowcat as younger students who are around 14-17 while Scott, Jean and Ororo will have graduated and be around 20-21.

Fox gave us accurate 60s costumes in First Class. I really hope they borrow the 80s looks for Apocalypse and the film afterwards.

X8 can go with the Jim Lee Costumes and change Wolverine to his yellow and blue costume.

There is no real reason to give cyclops a cowl as unless the cowl is there for a reason then it's pretty pointless

I don't think they will give him one unless there is a good reason too and it probably won't be a secret identity
 
I hope they give Cyclops a visor similar to the one in X2. No cowl.
 
My worry is that they will find a way to turn his powers on and off meaning no need for any visor. It solves their problems of "Camera need to meet the eyes"
 
I wouldn't have a problem with him being able to control his powers at first as long as he does eventually lose control over them and has to wear the visor, and the ending of DOFP tells us that he still has to wear glasses/visor.

Like what they did with beast... Ugh.
 
I think we'll either meet Scott before his mutant powers manifest... or we'll see him able to control his powers in the beggining until some accident happens where he hits his head and lose control.
 
The fact that he needs a visor has always been a serious lame handicap.
He could wear it just for iconic reasons but I'm not a fan of NEEDInG it
 
I know it's set in the 80's but I'm really hoping they go with something inspired by the Jim Lee costumes of the 90's. It's my dream to see the X-Men looking like this. Please Singer. :(

X-Men world would be easier, if he just like that controlled it.
That's the core he can't control it, so Xavier give him visor.
This comic book shows problems of those kids, creating a way to control their powers.
 
Yea and he can't "control" his.
Everyone else can so yeah as a huge Cyke fan it's no fun that he can't.
I mean even Rogue can now

Unless the visor is part of the cowl...in other words, the cowl holds the thing on.
 
The reason for the cowl would be to do something different. DOFP's past scenes stood out (in a good way) the fact that there were no costumes, just regular 70s clothes. I think that the trilogy should sandwich costume-less DOFP with colorful superhero-y costumes.
 
Such talent. If I had one critique it would be to change that hexagon chest plate. Kinda looks out of place.
 
I like penultimate. Yellow and Blue.
 
I wonder if they will go with something like the X-Factor costumes seeing as that is how Apocalypse was first introduced
