Apocalypse Rose Byrne is BACK as Moira MacTaggert

[psylockolussus]

Its weird that she was missing at the panel.

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

Ok cool thanks.

 

[Super Jim]

So she'll still be with the CIA...

Yawn!

So are we to assume there has been no contact between she and Charles for the past 10 years and now she goes to him about this research that she's uncovered which shows an ancient mutant dude named Apocalypse?

Hopefully I'm wrong, but her character so far seems a bit forced!

 

[SuperT]

How do you know her character is forced?! We don't even know the plot of the movie, what's happened in the 10 years since DOFP or her importance.

 

[Super Jim]

We know things from ComicCon. We know that she's still in the CIA and that she brings this whole first mutant thing to Xavier.

To me, at least from what we've seen, I don't see why this is even needed in the movie. Again, maybe she'll serve another purpose, like a love interest for Chuck, but to have her just so she can say 'I've been tracking some ancient mutant' does, to me, come off as forced.

More like 20 years. Also, my money is on Charles going to her.

 

[Frankeh]

Why wasn't she in DOFP though? I never got that.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Because they hate me.

maybe that's this movie's "briefing scene", like DOFP's first temple scenes.

 

[Mystique's Leg]

Based on the trailer, she'll also be in the sub-basement and in the X-jet which I don't mind. She was decent in First Class and held her own among the mutants.

 

[psylockolussus]

Rose Byrne has appeared in a lot of commercially successful films since X-Men: First Class. Bridesmaids was more successful in America than First Class. and she probably already signed a 3-X-Men picture deal with Fox before... so those must have been a factor why she was brought back. I also think people liked her in the role.

 

[Golgo-13]

Yeah, I missed her in DoFP..although I see why they didn't use her. It would have been hard fitting her into the story.

 

[Loki882]

Agreed. Given how that story went, fitting her in would have been tough (plus the huge number of characters across TWO timelines). You know, if they're going to do the whole Charles/Moira thing here, then I hope that she at least finds out about the mind-wipe from FC and chews him out on what a **** move that was.

 

[psyonic]

Maybe Moira dies and Xavier unleashes his full power.. I know she was in X3 but DoFP changed things..some things after 1973 are different than what we know.

 

[Loki882]

No fridging please. This franchise has had enough issues with it's treatment of female characters as it is.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Maybe she doesn't find the Fountain of Youth in this timeline

From the looks of it, they all found it, none of them look aged.. 1963-1983. Charles looks younger than he did in 1973. Should have given Moira a few strands of grey lol

 

[Sithborg]

They stole it from Sakurai.

The crew obviously doesn't care if the characters don't age in the span of 20 years. Why even bother telling us its been 10 years since DOFP and 20 years since FC... if they aren't gonna make characters older.

 

[Loki882]

Because they know that most of the GA isn't going to notice, or care if they do.

 

[psylockolussus]

Then why even bother give dates, if the GA aren't gonna notice it. And the setting is quite noticeable that they are in the past...

Thats what I been saying.....Hank,Peitro,Magneto,Charles.....all look exactly the same as they did in 62 and 73, its becoming noticable at this point.

 

[Loki882]

Yeah, to people on the internet (which I doubt that they're all that concerned about). NO ONE that I've talked to otherwise has brought this "problem" up. As to why they give dates, because they wanted to use the Cuban Missile Crisis in FC (which was in 63), The Paris Peace Accords in DOFP (which was in 73), and I presume some other big historical even that happened in 83.

you dont think a dude in his 50s should looks atleast alittle bit older then what he was in his 20s?

 

[psylockolussus]

He should definitely look older.
