Apocalypse POST-Apocolypse: which cast for future movies?

[Tymminator]

I had assumed that once this prequel trilogy was done, any new Fox X-movies would be done by the new kids/cast, but there are plenty of people who think the Old School cast from the OT will return.

What do you think? Yes? No? A combo of the two?

 

[BeholdMe]

A combo for the two would be great but i don't think many if any of the OT will show up in many movies except as cameos. I think the new breed is with the new young team and that's who they are moving forward with

This is basically what I was going to say as well. t:

Well when it comes to this question i think we can only go by what we have heard and apart from stewart being in wolverine 3 (New colossus in deadpool probably doesn't count) We haven't actually heard anything that sounds like that they would go back to the Original cast while if you listen to Bryan Singer he often talks like after apocalypse there is still story to tell with the new cast and lets be honest many have had doubts they hired the likes of up and coming talent Tye,Turner and kodi for just one movie anyway so it seems like more evidence is pointing to the new younger cast

 

[kineticist]

Why would they introduce an entirely new cast and not continue to use them? OT cast is more than likely done.

Agreed with this 100%. But a lot of posters think the franchise won't survive without the OT cast.

 

[Duran Man]

Young Cyclops and co. for the main X-Men films.

 

[marvelrobbins]

after wolverine solo film hits come march 3 2017 the original cast is likely done.possable exception to this is if new mutants is set in present with Patrick stewart as xavier and a couple of others in small roles as teachers.

when DOFP "Rebooted" timeline erasing much of original cast's films that was
big tipoff where they were going with future films.

I firmly believe it's only a matter of time before wolverine is recast with
younger cast.due to apocalypse being set in 1983 they can go one or 2 films before doing that.

honestly the only relvence original trilogy has anymore is those films are partly
needed to setup the time travel missiong In DOFP.but,besides that not much
relvence to present X-Men cinematic universe.Bryan singer may keep a few things that are his vision.

 

[Mars123]

I'd like to see some new cast, a OT, maybe a combo! I basically want my cake and eat it

 

[kasjan]

Mix, we need some time travels.

Great minds think alike lol

Yes to this.

 

[magneto23]

Phase the OT out completely with Wolverine 3. Move forward with young cast. Just keep Fassbender and JLaw out of the picture for a while. The ONLY time travel hook ups should be between this new cast and X-Force/Cable/New Mutants. That's it. DOFP gave us clean slate to work with. 40 years story time. You want a present day setting? X-Force/Deadpool/potentially New Mutants are there for you.

 

[Tilapia]

I would just go directly to New mutants and X-Force with more time travel.

I don't think Xavier should have showed up at the end of DoFP. I would have adapted Age of Apocalypse with Magneto running the school from 1983 on, even though I wouldn't have shown Magneto in the new 2023 or whenever they resumed the future in DoFP. That would have closed the books on the Charles/Eric love story. Then pick up with X-Force with Jean/Cyke in charge.

In fact, instead of signing McAvoy to 3-4 more films, I would just do another time travel story to keep the conclusion in DoFP open ended, possibly leading to Xavier's assassination and Magneto leading the X-Men in another film, before you retire his character as well.

 

[GuestStar2004]

They obviously had the option to do AOA after DOFP if they wanted but FOX and Co clearly didnt want to do it

And X-Men: apocalypse apparently takes some elements from AOA anyway as well as other comics so they ain't saving anything for later when it comes to this situation

When it comes to the OC my guess is that we will see 1 or 2 in up and coming spin offs at some point, probably not Jean,storm,cyclops or nightcrawler though

 

[SuperT]

Then pick up with X-Force with Jean/Cyke in charge.

No. Why in the world would an X-Force team have Jean and Cyclops on it? That team goes against everything they stand for as characters.

 

[Tilapia]

You can have a fission in their love story to keep it interesting. With Cyke blaming something like Xavier's death on Jean or someone else on the X-Men, and then forming an offshoot of the X-Men that does the dirty work. Maybe Cable is introduced as a time traveller just to give the team a veteran presence.

While I don't think they are taking the important arcs from AoA here per say, it was definitely a fitting option. But honestly, I don't see a McAvoy led team getting another trilogy, as much as I like where he has taken the character. This honestly could be a one shot movie and these characters don't appear for some time.

I just would have closed the books on Magneto and Xavier here. There is only so much more you can do with them. If they end up friends at the end of this, then that removes a lot of the 40 plus years of drama between them.

I'm pretty confident in saying the next major ensemble will involve Cable as a time traveler interacting with these mutants, at least some time within the next trilogy. So any direction is possible.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

If futures x-men movies will take place in 2010's or present we must bring back Patrick Stewart James Marsden etc !!

Sheridan, Turner are too Young .. they cant play Scott, Jean adult version alongside Iceman, Kitty, Colossus ....

What do you mean you don't see a McAvoy led team to get another trilogy are you speaking of the new young XMen or simply the FC cast.

I'm saying McAvoy's Xavier cannot anchor a major blockbuster franchise from a BO standpoint. Take Magneto and Jlaw out and you are screwed. It's a young talented cast they've assembled, but I don't think we can say it warrants another film series until the results are in for this film.

I think you can do it collectively with the right characters and villains. Cable and Gambit would be good characters to add. But while I think there is a good chance we see Cable and more time travel down the line, I'm not going to assume anything until we see what happens here first, and Wolverine 3.

A team of Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Quicksilver and potentially Angel and Psylocke and lord knows who else they can introduce can far outweigh the loss of Fassbender and JLaw in any future movies. They are both certainly draws but you underestimate the power of those classic characters being together on screen no matter who's playing them.

 

[marvelrobbins]

with lawrence and jackman gone the main X-Men films are likely to be set In past with a
Mcavoy lead team.Don't count your chickens befire they hatch On Fassbender leading.

You spend to much time banking on certain actors running the show

In the end if one or two actors are keeping people coming back then the audience really ain't getting into this whole X-Men thing after 6 movies

 

[GuestStar2004]

Going by the things Bryan singer has said it does sound like he has in mind to make more movies with the young cast and i am assuming FOX have been pushing to do the same so i don't think its much of a question really

its like when talk of the Fantastic 4 crossover was mentioned even though its doubtful they had anything officially planned out bryan singer pretty much said if the cross over happened it would involved "time" in some way which we can all assume probably means time travel and so i am assuming if there is ever a cross over it will be with the new cast and involve time travel

And its likely if they do a sequel with the new cast they will want it as 3 films

I highly disagree with this and yes McAvoy and the young certainly can anchor a film without Magneto or Mystique. When have people's fav characters onscreen (Storm,Psylocke,Pheonix,Cyclops,Nightcrawler,Jubilee,etc) it will do just fine because those are characters people want to see. Unless they do time travel they couldn't add Gambit or Cable, so yes I do think the franchise will be just fine and still sell very well with McAvoy.

 

[SuperT]

The Cable character is completely tied to time-travel, that's a huge part of his history so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he could pop up in a movie with the younger team.
