None of that points to anything. I actually read through all of that looking for something viable btw



Has nothing to do with additional filming. Singer stated the future segments in 2023 amount to 30 minutes worth of storytelling in the film.

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:

I Agree.
We should trust Singer, even if the recent rumors are true .

Why, exactly, is it so disappointing that they might not be adapting Age of Apocalypse and might instead be adapting a story that would facilitate using the FC cast?

Re-read my posts. I'm not upset about the First Class focus. I'm disappointed in the overall direction as a whole.

We're already disappointed over a film that was just announced and won't start filming for at least another year. Neat.

There's rumors out there giving us possible insight to that movie... rumors that may or may not start with May's Days of Future past. There's plenty to be concerned or excited about already.

 

[GuestStar2004]

well something all 3 rumors have in common is the FC cast so i assume they will defo be in the film, whether the OT cast return or not is unknown, depends which website you wanna believe

it does flow with mcavoys comments

it indeed could be a build up to apocolypse being a villain for different films though

I still don't get the logic that an X-Force, or any other X-Film for that matter, has to be set in the future after X-Men: Apocalypse. Am I missing something that says no stories can be told in the past or with an expanded cast of characters there?

I don't see the correlation.

That's not what I'm suggesting. It may or may not take place in the present/future. But I do believe a Wolverine 3 would take place then. As far as Apocalypse, the only thing I fully believe at this point is that his influence will extend beyond one film, whether past, present, or future.

And where does Fantastic Four fit into all of this? Are we still expecting this to be a shared universe? Does FF take place in the past or present? And further, which timeline? There seems to be an ever-increasing set of timelines now.

 

[SuperT]

Well yea, I think that's a given especially since X-Force is in development and Apocalypse has run ins with that team very regularly.

 

[The Guard]

Kudos to Singer for not letting this nonsensical rumor go on much longer. Do people really think there's going to be such an unsubtle credit sequence after DAYS OF FUTURE PAST? Singer's got more style then that. So does Kinberg.

If X-MEN: APOCALYPSE doesn't feature the original cast, it makes sense, just as it would in a certain storyline if it did.

I can't bring myself to feel bad about this, because in all likelihood, if we don't see the Cyclops, Storm and Jean we know, then we're probably going to see a second "Firsat Class" of young Cyclops, Jeans, Storm, Beast, etc in their first great test.

I wonder if Sinister and Apocalypse will have anything to do with Jean's evolution into Phoenix? That'd be a cool angle to use.

 

[BMM]

I'm curious as to what what Fox's plan is, as this is the last film everyone is signed for, as far as we know.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Maybe we should move on from the subject about the rumor ending and just wait and see, probably easier

 

[Cherry]

I theorize Apocalypse will center himself in the past when Magneto is at his physical peak and pull his horseman from past, present, and future in order to accomplish some major scheme. I also believe that some element in DOFP kickstarts Apocalypse's plans. For example, Kitty/Wolvie breaching the time vortex opens up Apocalypse's ability to jump through time (and maybe dimensions) and ignite a plan he has been devising for thousands of years. Maybe X-Force takes place in the far future, and they must travel through time and dimension to find and stop Apocalypse. The possibilities are endless.

I will be as disappointed as anyone if we never see the OT again, but let's please keep an open mind for now. There are many exciting directions they can go.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I want to see Bryan tweet the other magical words.

[blackout]"Apocalypse is not Magneto."[/blackout]

and

"I wouldn't rip off dialogue from Dracula."

My thoughts exactly.

I'd like them to.

I still don't get the logic that an X-Force, or any other X-Film for that matter, has to be set in the future after X-Men: Apocalypse.

I don't understand where it's coming from either other than wishful thinking from those who love the OT cast and detest the younger cast.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Now call me uneducated but what is the relevance in having Magneto himself transform into Apocalypse? Did this happen in a comic series that I'm not familiar with?

I thought Hoult, Lawrence, McAvoy and Fassbender were signed for three films?

 

[GuestStar2004]

Let's just wait and see what the film delivers, it could just mean they are 100% sure the FC will be involved, there names may be down for it but they haven't decided on who to get from the OT, it's very possible we just dunno what's happening yet

Or this could just be a starting point, let's just wait and see

 

[BMM]

I thought Hoult, Lawrence, McAvoy and Fassbender were signed for three films?

I mean after X-Men: Apocalypse. Recasting the roles of Cyclops, Jean, and Storm is an interesting idea, but does Fox think there's a good chance of re-signing the likes of Fassbender and McAvoy?

Mcavoy yes, Fassbender possibly, lawrence... hmm...

Magneto himself transform into Apocalypse?

Well, for a start, you should be using the spoiler tags, which I just put around the quoted post above. This may be true and some people don't want to know the details. So have respect for other posters on here.

Secondly, it did happen in X-Men: Evolution, apparently. I didn't see that episode, so I can't verify it.

 

[SuperT]

They must think so if Fassbender, McAvoy, Hoult and Lawrence are going to be in X-Men: Apocalypse.

I couldn't possibly see Fox dropping them, nor would it make any sense from a universe building standpoint, after it to move forward with the original cast for movies in 2016 and beyond.

 

[SuperT]

Now call me uneducated but what is the relevance in having [BLACKOUT]Magneto himself transform into Apocalypse?[/BLACKOUT] Did this happen in a comic series that I'm not familiar with?

Well, there was the X-Men Evolution episode where he used his power to change Magneto, Storm, Professor X and Mystique into his four horseman so it's happened before.

So it has happened where he's taken control and completely changed people.

 

[X-Maniac]

My thoughts are more to do with the timeline.

If - and we don't know this for certain - DoFP ends up re-setting the timeline to create the [BLACKOUT]rumoured happy ending and farewell to the OT cast[/BLACKOUT], then how will Apocalypse's arrival in the past mess with that?

 

[GuestStar2004]

i agree FOX were never gonna throw at least 3 of the FC actors away, they are getting better known by the year so they would be crazy to not at least take them up on a 3rd film

they could use this film as an origin to apocalypse and continue on for a few films involving him, its very possible, mcavoy has described his role as Xavier as charles xavier on a journey to reach his destiny, which i always assumed was creating the X-men
