Apocalypse X-Men Apocalypse News and Discussion - Part 1

[Great Mind(s)]

Who from the Wire would you want to play who?

 

[Dayspring1]

Jackman hasn't been confirmed yet so who knows? You expect him to be there. How would he get the adamantium without the Stryker involvement? I don't like the idea of Magneto grafting some half ass metal scraps on him as a cheap plot device. I think they may need Stryker or some Weapons X mastermind that could give Wolverine the procedure.

Or maybe Mystique gets her own team together as others have mentioned. JLaw will probably command a lot of screen time so I could definitely see this. It would also raise more complications, with Xavier and his team, Mystique and her team, Magneto, and the Horseman of the Apocalypse. Obviously Apocalypse could easily give Wolverine the adamantium and make him War or Death. Mystique could also end up in that ring. Guess we just have to see.

Yeah, Wolverine has not been confirmed yet in anything I've seen.

Personally I like the idea of Mystique forming a team that is the genesis of X-Force. Call it the Mutant Liberation Front and have Cable as a member. As the film goes on, it becomes obvious that Cable has his own agenda and is just using the MLF to hunt Apocalypse. This doesn't sit well with Mystique and she and Cable become enemies as a result.

Something like that could be awesome.

Jackman likely isn't confirmed but it seems very likely he will be involved since wasn't it kinberg and one of the producers that said they are thinking of filming apocalypse and wolverine 3 back to back so jackman can keep his body build?

Also kinberg has said the ending to DOFP with mystique fishing Logan out as Stryker will be explained in apocalypse and it seems like the only way it can is if he is involved in some way

 

[Majik1387]

I really just see Mystique forming her own Brotherhood like shown in the comics. Before the movies, she and Magneto were never part of the same Brotherhood at any point.

 

[Mr.M]

Probably why they got rid of that timeline; amazing what one bad film can do to a franchise. Wonder what the next phase is going to be? X-Force could be a self contained trilogy if they wanted it, following new characters and happening earlier than it would have in the original timeline if at all.

James McAvoy to go bald this time:

"I'll be older in this one," McAvoy, who plays Professor Charles Xavier in the "X-Men" franchise, told host Alyona Minkovski. "[And] I think I'm losing my hair finally. And, yeah, that's kind of all I know."

"I got an email from the [producer/writer Simon Kinberg] who informed me he was getting dead excited about stuff, but he didn't want to divulge anything for a couple of weeks, so I really don't know," he said.

McAvoy also added that we can expect the 2016 film to be "fairly apocalyptic," which makes sense given that it's titled "X-Men: Apocalypse."

"It seems fairly global, if we're talking apocalypse," he hinted.

[Majik1387]

Lol, this reminds me that these days I barely say anything at all, I just report stuff. That's why we need more Apocalypse news.

It may be awhile till you have much to say.It could be november/december or even january/February till there is much to report on.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Given that he says he THINKS he will lose his hair don't think anyone should take this as fact, he could very well be assuming it should start happening by now or maybe he means it will happen at the end and mcavoy just gave away a big plot point

you have to remember he had a lot of hair in DOFP so it will depend on a lot of things really, since they didn't show any sign of thinning or hair loss in DOFP they will either have him noticeably show a sign of hair thinning in apocalypse, or noticeably start losing it rapidly with an excuse or he will lose it because of other means in apocalypse

But Is there really anyone who really thinks he can go from long flowing locks to bald in 10 years? I mean maybe they could say it was using cerebro over the years that did it but Seems like when they gave him the hippy look in DOFP it was likely discussed with an idea in mind to how he would lose his hair

 

[Majik1387]

Maybe he just decided to start shaving his head because he likes it.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I am sure mcavoy has probably expected hair loss with every film he has done (he shaved his head for FC before being told they wanted him to have hair), then he probably expect signs of hair loss for DOFP and then they said no you are getting the Jesus look this time

I think its fair to say we can expect something from apocalypse to do with his hair but After all the effort to give him more and more hair by each film you probably would expect a good enough excuse for losing his hair, I mean he will be in his mid 40s I assume in apocalypse

If he is bald in apocalypse from the start with no excuse apart from age I think the logic in that would be hilarious

 

[Majik1387]

He was a 'druggie' in the 70s, and majority if not all of them had long hair hence his longer hair in DoFP.

Same here Im ready for some more news about this movie.

 

[GuestStar2004]

If he does have hair in apocalypse there will be a lot of confused people since all the headlines seem to be taking this as fact

 

[xrs13]

He may have hair for a while at the beginning and then lose it.

Let the Manips Begin!!!

 

[JP]

While it makes sense for him to finally go bald, with this film being the conclusion of his 3-film arc, James HAS indeed expressed a desire to go bald in every film since FC.

 

[psylockolussus]

I really hope they make him bald in the film!

 

[hoy-small-fry]

I hope he does go bald, but as the result of something. It can't just be hair loss
