Apocalypse The LUCAS TILL / ALEXANDER SUMMERS discussion thread - "We have to call him Havok"

[chamber-music]

Apocalypse or his followers could of grabbed Alex after Vietnam and messed with his DNA so that he does age.

 

[Lip]

he shouldve just been some random mutant, cuz that's basically what they've created

Speaking of which... Fox can create original characters, right?

I know X-23 was created for X-Men Evolution.

I know X-23 was created for X-Men Evolution.

I was certain she was created in the comics as Wolverines clone but due to her success she made her splash on Evolution among other things. Am I missing something?

 

[BMM]

She first appeared in X-Men: Evolution in the Summer of 2003 and then in the books in 2004.

Of the top of my head...

From X2:

Flea: kid that was playing around with the Sabretooth tiger exhibit in the museum scene at the beginning of X2, who Jean quickly tells to "Come on, Pay attention." He was also the kid that Cudmore's Colossus shows his drawing of Rogue and Bobby kissing. Not sure why they even bothered naming him, kid didn't show any powers

Jones: kid who can flip channels on the TV by blinking LOL

From X-men:

"Lily pond kid:" who everyone at the time thought was Quicksilver.

 

[psylockolussus]

They also created Amy in X-Men First Class.

Lucas interview:

MTV News: I heard you’re really good at impressions. Do you have a signature impression?
Till: The past couple days I’ve been trying to do James McAvoy and I can’t do it in front of him but everyone else has been saying it’s been really good. But I just lock up when you ask me to do it or when he does. But my James McAvoy one is pretty solid, that’s the one I’m working on, and one day I’ll do it for him, I guess.

MTV News: Speaking of “X-Men,” this the first time that we’ll see Havok and Cyclops on screen together. I was just wondering if you could talk a bit about what that brotherly dynamic is like.
Till: You know what, I’m probably not allowed to say too much, but I will say that Ty [Sheridan], I’ve actually always, I’ve wanted to work with Ty Sheridan, just because I don’t know, with Southern actors you always think you’re from the same place. Even if one is from Texas, one is from Georgia, you’re like, “oh, you’re just down the street, man.”

So, there’s always kind of a familial, brotherly feeling. Every time I work with real Southern actors… we immediately go into white trash and we just get along really well within one night, you know. I saw him in “Mud” and I thought he was killer. And then he kept popping up around, and I was like, “man, I really want to work with that kid.” And, then, what do you know, he’s playing my little brother now. And he’s my little brother’s age. So we get along pretty well. We just went to a hockey game. We were in a Canadians game. We got jerseys, it was pretty awesome.

MTV News: Can you tell us how central Havoc is in “Apocalypse”?
Till: No, I can’t, I can’t. Well I definitely, I won’t have less than one minute of screen time this time, which is good.

MTV News: This one’s got a lot of rocking ’80s fashion. Is there anything that you love wearing or anything you’ve been dreading wearing?
Till: Man, the ’80s were pretty wacky. You had some stuff that was just so rad and some stuff that was just so wrong. But I guess that can be said about any decade. I just remember not wanting like a suit with shoulder pads in it. I think that was my only request, and that’s about it.

MTV News: Did they listen to you?
Till: I can neither confirm nor deny.

MTV News: You’re very mysterious.
Till: That’s because there’s a guy with a loaded pistol smiling at me in the corner in a chair waiting for me to spoil the whole thing.

[psylockolussus]

Well I dont see how his role in this film will be smaller than what he got in Dofp so that was already a given.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Looking forward to seeing more of him and more of his powers, really hope he gets to unleash with them this time.

 

[jignat]

I thought Havok would be a Horseman , but it seems unlikely now.

Will he be part of the team or just a quick cameo type role like DOFP?

 

[fobi]

Hopefully he'll be part of the team because with that horseman line up, they'll need all the help they can get.

 

[dontpanic42]

Looking forward to see him part of the team as well as his dynamic with Scott.

 

[psylockolussus]

I thought Havok would be a Horseman , but it seems unlikely now.

Same here.

 

[chamber-music]

I saw him in the full trailer. Looks like he will be joining the rest of the X-Men. There is a first class reunion with Mystique, Moiria, Beast, Havok and Xavier.

[Loki882]

He's changed his hair as well it seems. Since they're finally re-introducing Scott in this film, NOT bringing Alex back would have been a big missed opportunity imo.

 

[Mars123]

I'm wondering whether he'd be like a teacher at the school, although he won't look it, he technically the right age to be teaching etc or unless he is muscle to fight apocalypse enter quicksilver also?!

 

[psylockolussus]

I can see him as a sports instructor. While Beast is a science, chemistry, biology and mathematics teacher. And Professor X teaches physics and ethics.

 

[Joaqenix]

Really glad Havok is back, just wishing he'd stopped for a haircut before his return. Hope he makes it through the movie. He definitely seems like one of the more expendable actors/characters if they want to kill off someone, which I imagine they will in a movie called Apocalypse. Would provide an emotional arc for Scott, etc.

 

[Altie]

I really hope they won't kill Alex as a cheap plot device to give "trauma" to Scott's storyline...

 

[GuestStar2004]

While i think Bryan and Co are totally capable of killing havok off my criticism would be that they already killed off 5 of the previous FC cast off screen in DOFP so havok does seem like the next most obviously expendable person because of that

then again i'd argue that ben hardy/archangel (if say the horseman turn on apocalypse) is pretty expendable because X-Men is like his first big break since leaving a british soap so it wouldn't be such a big shock if we never saw him again after this

and i have never seen bryan as someone who plays it safe and i don't think he will with apocalypse either. although i have heard someone say bryan isn't fond of killing off characters

Oh yeah, I'm sure Archangel is at risk of getting killed off too, but you have to assume someone from the good side might die. And if someone does, it'd probably be Havok. I hope not though, and Singer doesn't really seem fond of killing characters off, like you said.

 

[psylockolussus]

I cannot wait to see his X-Men costume if he has one!

The costuming in Tron Legacy really reminded me of Havok's costume in the comics.

 

[BeholdMe]

I liked the costumes in Tron as well it was black but had the neon colors to them so it was really awesome.

 

[psylockolussus]

Hmmm I liked that he's accompanying Xavier now! I hope he gets a costume gear too!
