My guess is Magneto sacrifices himself for Charles this go around. Probably be good to do a contrast to the scenes where he watched him die in X3 and reflected a bullet to paralyze him FC. Magneto could have prevented both those incidents if he listened.

If he dies in battle with Magneto I think it would still have impact. Not so much the fact that he's dieing again, but the fate of old friends and rivals dieing together wth all they have been through can make for alot. The audience is probably most connected to that relationship with its growth through all the films. Could be another strong moment.

That would be an interesting way to do it

Might have forgot, but do we know if Prof X has to stay in a trance state for the time travel with Logan?

 

[xDOFPx]

We don't know anything about how the time travel works. But going by the clips it would suggest not.

 

[Antihero]

At the maximum,they should kill one major character(Future Magneto) and one minor character to show how dark the future is.I don't think many mutants should be killed.It may be good for DOFP but it will be bad for the future movies.

Cyclops was killed to show how unstable Phoenix was.It was a short term benefit.But it hurt X-Men in the long run.X-Men without it's traditional leader Cyclops doesn't sound good.Cyclops is essential for another reason too.His blandness makes Wolverine much more badass.Similar to how Will Turner's blandness made Jack Sparrow much more cooler.

 

[Antihero]

Past or future,killing Wolverine is stupid.

Agreed.The friendship/rivalry between Charles and Erik deserves a fitting end

 

[Ryudoz]

Honestly it doesn't really matter who is killed off in the future timeline portion because the impact is ultimately hollow. The whole point of changing the past to save the future is just that, changing the outcome of the future, meaning anyone killed in the future has a greater than excellent chance of being immediately resurrected once things are "fixed". To me, it would seem like a waste of time to highlight emotional moments by dying future characters when the whole result is to be changed by Logan's actions in the past. That is, unless, he fails. Which I would imagine has a less than zero percent chance of actually happening.

So kill 'em all off in the future I say. It would have the same impact as just a few or even nobody being killed off.

Magneto sacrificing himself for Bobby and Rogue to escape. Storm's death must be an emotional scene with Xavier holding her hand as she dies. Colossus is my favorite, I know he won't make it but I also don't want him to be the first to die in the first 5 minutes of the movie. Most likely Warpath, Blink, Sunspot will die. Bishop? I don't even know how much screen time he'll have. I can also see Bobby being the last to die and both Kitty and Rogue are by his side holding each hand.

If Storm is gonna die in the movie, its the one death scene that I'll be looking forward in the movie.t: And I just hope they pull it off very well. Though by the time Storm is killed, it will be odd to think that the fighting X-Men squad in X1 have all been killed except for Wolverine.

That would make for one powerful scene. Not one dry eye in the theater.

 

[def28]

Magnetos death, Wolverine's death or Bobby dying in front of Kitty (would be ****ed up) I think would get the audience most emotional. Bobby and Kitty are the only ones in a relationship future wise (at least that we know) so that's just begging for a tearjerker. The stronger the bond, the more powerful the death will be for audiences and to other characters.

 

[Dasher10]

I'd say Beast and Mystique should die early on in the present and everyone from the original timeline who never made it into the current film should be mentioned to be dead by the start of the film. Anyone who was dead by the end of X3 should stay dead with the exception of Xavier.

Then kill off Colossus, Rogue, Magneto, Storm and Iceman.

This A. allows X-Force to show a whole new timeline where Deadpool never had his mouth sown shut, Colossus never joined the X-Men, Cyclops and Jean never died and lived to father Cable and Psylocke was never killed by Jean, nor did she turn to crime.

B. Raises the stakes for Wolverine and Shadowcat to change everything from 1973 onward because if they don't, everyone will die.

 

[X-Maniac]

I find it amusing and a bit baffling that everyone wants death, death and more death.

When that happened in X3, the fans weren't too happy. In that movie, lest we forget, Scott, Xavier and then Jean died, and probably Juggernaut, Callisto, Psylocke and Arclight were obliterated on Alcatraz when Phoenix went nuts; Rogue and Mystique were cured.

There were people - and still are, on here - who didn't even want Jean to die, despite that being what happens in the comics.

So they have to be careful with these deaths. It could look like a repeat of the X3 deaths, and to see everyone resurrected at the end by the timeline changes could make the audience feel they've been manipulated, because the deaths weren't permanent after all. Also, if main characters die at the start of the film, the audience will know that they probably won't be staying dead because they are a main character.

 

[def28]

It's all cause of the story it's based on. It's in no way similar to X3. You will probably even see complaints if no one bites the dust here. If the future was gonna stay canon for the next three films without correction no one would be asking for any.This is Probably the only time something like this will be welcomed with comic fans. Which is pretty cool imo.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I say keep bishop and iceman alive and kill everyone off, its there last stand that matters

and i'm not just saying that because they are 2 of my favorite characters... ok i am

 

[def28]

The character I'm most worried about getting killed is Havok. If he's gone he aint coming back. Wanna see some sibling rivalry between him and Scott, as well as some better power display before he's toast

 

[kasjan]

It could look like a repeat of the X3 deaths, and to see everyone resurrected at the end by the timeline changes could make the audience feel they've been manipulated, because the deaths weren't permanent after all.

But it's essence of DOFP comic plot. Make a change in past to bring them alive in future. You can't compare it to X3 deaths.

 

[GuestStar2004]

they could kill off havok, but it would seem abit like a summers family trait that they are both expendable when you need to kill off a character

while they could kill off havok and use it to explain why xavier recruits scott which at the same time explains the relation

just have to see

 

[xDOFPx]

You have to go for who's expendable and who's necessary to the plan. That is why I think Professor X, Kitty, Rogue, Iceman and Wolverine are safe. We either know they're needed for the plan or it looks likely. All the others are potential cannon fodder walking around. And some will be there just to die for drama sake.

 

[def28]

How do we know Iceman is safer then Mags and Strom?

 

[GuestStar2004]

HE HAD BETTER BE SAFER!!! cough cough i mean yeah how do we know?

 

[xDOFPx]

How do we know Iceman is safer then Mags and Strom?

Because the clips we have would imply he survives later into the plot. That doesn't mean he won't die right before the future is changed, but I think he's safe for the majority of the plan at least. He looks like the only younger and capable male team member left standing. He is needed.

Magneto may not die but him sacrificing himself so the others can complete the plan would redeem his character. I think that's what they're after in DOFP.

 

[def28]

Because the clips we have would imply he survives later into the plot.

Not up to date with that. What are the scenes assuming it's later or he survives? I thought only Kitty, Rogue and Prof X are the required ones for the plan or plot points we know of.

 

[xDOFPx]

Not up to date with that. What are the scenes assuming it's later or he survives? I thought only Kitty and Prof X are the required ones for the plan or plot points we know of.

You can logically deduce the fact it's only Iceman and Magneto seen rescuing Rogue (plus Anna possibly not having filmed with Halle, Daniel and the new actors) means that it's later in the plot and not earlier otherwise Wolverine and Storm would have gone too. Plus if they are doing a little love triangle subplot with Rogue/Iceman/Kitty like the clip implied then that wouldn't come until probably later either, and it wouldn't be one scene and then he dies.

That's what I mean they imply he survives until later into the plot, and probably doesn't die at all. He may die, I just reckon there may not be time. Unless it's right before it's all altered anyway. I could be wrong on all this. I've just always had the feeling that he, Rogue, Kitty and Professor X definitely survive the action. You'd think Logan would have to survive because how else would the plan succeed. The others are all potentially expendable.
