Days of Future Past Which X-Men Should die or be dead in DOFP?

[def28]

I see. I think the one who will actually be dead "for now" in the series by the end will be Wolverine. But we will see...I don't think anyone is "safe" as far as future characters though. Im sure a few will last longer.

I still think some will be automatically safe because they'd pivotal to the plot. Wolverine can't die because his mind is in the past, so unless he comes back before the future is altered and gets killed then I'd say he's safe. Kitty seems pivotal as well. Professor X already died once and it would be anti-climatic so I don't see them killing him a 2nd time. Iceman seems for certain to be in the plot later on, so he has a very good chance of surviving it all. Rogue as well seems to be a late comer and possibly pivotal.

Of course it doesn't matter who dies or doesn't as it will all be reversed. Those deaths won't count. But that doesn't mean some won't have been killed off screen in the altered future or the younger characters might not even have been born. I doubt that though as you'd think they'd want as many characters left around as possible for future sequel potential.

I expect there to be complications with Wolverine getting back into his future body. Which could be destroyed or incinerated near the conclusion. He's gonna risk everything to stop the future from happening so if a life or death decision has to be made Im sure he would take the latter to save the future. What would happen if he died in his past body? Wolverine has always been the safe character with now 6 X movies, so I think Singer may switch that up here come the end. We still don't know details on the consequences or rules with how this works. I'm sure Beast and Prof X will explain everything haha

If his past body dies then Wolverine is stuffed. There's no coming back from that. If his future body is destroyed while his mind is in the past, it wouldn't matter so long as the plan succeeded because that would get reversed. But it would mean his future consciousness would leave the past at the same time his body died. The question is how long does he have to be in the past for the plan to work?

Who cares, who dies or stay alive. When Logan makes change, everybody will gone (even those not killed by Sentinels) and will have new life, in new reality.

Even if thats the case, they still have to be careful who should they kill or not, especially if they want this movie to be the best X-Men movie. It could affect the story/quality of the movie

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.

I agree with you!

Now we know Wolverine can't die in past or future because if he does the plan can't succeed. His mind and body has to stay alive or it was all for nothing. So I'd say he is the safest character.

^I hope so.Killing Wolverine would be disastrous for the future movies

 

[xDOFPx]

Unless they literally kill him as he wakes up in the altered future then he can't die. The plot demands he lives, so I really doubt he's getting killed off. He will almost certainly be available to be used in sequels - if they want to.

 

[Antihero]

Is it possible to do a movie about Wolverine and co in exclusively in the altered future?

 

[xDOFPx]

Yes, I expect there will be an OT character sequel in the altered future. The producers have implied they intend one. We just have to wait and see if it happens.

An altered timeline means they can cherry pick the canon of OT.

^As long as Fox producing X-Men sequels/spinoffs,I don't mind.Just make sure Wolverine plays a part in it
