Days of Future Past Days of Future Past News and Discussion - Part 18

[Double B]

See? Can everyone breathe now??

No.

 

[Figs]

Personally I never looked at Apocalypse as looking like an Alien. He looked like a big guy in armor with blue/grey skin. Not too different from various other mutants.

 

[GuestStar2004]

really singer should not have made that announcement a few days ago, i think he was just trying to steal thunder from other films

 

[747]

I'm with GuestStar and Great Mind(s) here. But also while not saying Singer's tweet wasn't a debunk of the whole thing, it could very well have been, but I'm not as sure some others here.

 

[SuperT]

I don't really see what the harm was in announcing it. It only made me more excited for DOFP to get here just to see where this is all leading to.

 

[JP]

He should just stop tweeting in general. Unless he's giving out pages from the script, why even bother? Ya know?

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Well his lips are weird and his eyes are all glowy and he's huge with grey skin and wearing crazy futuristic metal outfit, he would look like an alien to [BLACKOUT]Magneto[/BLACKOUT] and the audience probably.

 

[X-Maniac]

Well, yeah, I don't think anyone here thought he WAS an alien. But the rumoured introductory sequence had no hint of the ancient Egyptian first-ever mutant origin and would definitely make casual viewers (and hysterical people on that other CBM site) believe the emphasis was on the Eternal/cosmic elements of the character.

 

[marvelrobbins]

These are things we can be reasonable sure about X-Men:Apocalypse

It's sequel to X-Men Days of future past

It opens may 27 2016

Bryan Singer Is directing

Lauren Shueller Donnor,Singer,and Simon Kinberg are producing

Kinberg Is prime candiate to write the script.

James Mcavoy,Michael Fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,and Nicholas Hoult will likely star

The Villain will be Apocalypse

Anything else Is just rumor and speculation for now.

Well it says

Spoiler

Magneto is in the desert. Maybe he's in Egypt or nearby? Maybe Apocalypse needs his body to release himself from eternal slumber in an ancient pyramid.

Mystique's eyes are kind of glowy yellow and her skin is blue. The outfit isn't a big deal really, it's armor and the lips thing...well there are weirder looking mutants out there. Just look to the Morlocks.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Mystique's eyes are kind of glowy yellow.

mystique still looks human though, apart from colossus we haven't really seen any metal mutants from my memory

 

[Great Mind(s)]

But if he's crashing down from the sky... I think it works for him to be mysterious and alien-like except not an alien. I mean saying "a giant mutant comes crashing down" for some reason I think of the Hulk or something. Saying an alien form is more mysterious and okay as long as he's actually an ancient mutant. But some general mystery there is fine. The audience can go "what is he? Is he a mutant? an alien? a genetically engineered thing from the future?" then in two years they'll find out what we already know.

 

[X-Maniac]

Well it says

Yes, but it said that

Spoiler

something crashed out of the sky into the desert and finds an "alien form" in the crater

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people actually involved with this franchise (like Fox execs) think Apocalypse is an alien.

i believe the report said apocalypse says he has traveled through time to reach magneto, but i can't remember, i think it was something like that

It's possible people who described the scene didn't know. He also says

Spoiler

I'm your future

not "I'm from space!" or something. If he

Spoiler

crashes out of the sky, it could be from like a time portal or something

 

[GuestStar2004]

Singers tweet could be proof that the ending ain't true but at the same time its the context of "alien form" that singer may have debunked not the actual ending

 

[Figs]

So does Apocalypse. He's as humanoid as the next person. One head, two arms, two legs, two eyes, one nose and one mouth.

 

[Cherry]

I don't know what this does or doesn't mean for the OT cast going forward, but I DO believe there is more going on here than we know. Even if that mid-credits rumor is true, that means there is still some element of time travel involved. Maybe Apocalypse takes his horsemen from different times but chooses to plant his major scheme in the past for some reason. I want to stress: We really have no idea what is happening at this point.

Let's all try to relax and enjoy the ride. In Bryan Singer, I trust. t:

Im 100% with you on that.

The future movies cant be as simple as how its looking right now. And neither the producers and cast have suggested the end of OT cast, since July, so... This is not as simple.

 

[BMM]

Well, yeah, I don't think anyone here thought he WAS an alien.

You're joking, right?

 

[#root]

I am so ****ing excited about the future of this franchise but honestly, we don't even know a whole lot about DOFP at this point. People need to worry a little less about Apocalypse cause it's still like 2 1/2 yrs away It was unusual of them to announce a sequel this early and we're probably not going to get any official news till after DOFP's release.

 

[Cherry]

\And neither the producers and cast have suggested the end of OT cast, since July, so... This is not as simple.

Especially with X-Force likely involving Apocalypse, and a potential Wolverine 3, I don't see the rest of the series stuck in the past, or Apocalypse being relegated to one movie before being defeated. Who knows?

 

[SuperT]

The future movies cant be as simple as how its looking right now.

K.I.S.S. The most obvious answer in more cases than not, is the correct one.

And neither the producers and cast have suggested the end of OT cast, since July, so... This is not as simple.

Well, they haven't explicitly said they were coming back either so...

We can surmise that the FC cast will probably be back just for the simple fact that they still have one more movie agreement in their contracts. The OT cast is pretty much up in the air with nothing saying they have to or will come back other than a producer comment months ago.

Things change incredibly fast on movie projects, especially one that is still over two years away.
