Apocalypse X-Men Apocalypse News and Discussion

Not open for further replies.
Nice to finally hear at least something from production on the future of this franchise in that Kinberg video.

Really would love it if the next movies after Apocalypse focused on younger Jean, Cykes and Scott!
 
Kind of hard to have OT sequel since the ending of DOFP effectly reboots series by erasing OT.

It would have been better if they ended DOFP In 1973 without showing new future.It wouldn't give anyone false hope of seeing the OT cast again apart from Hugh Jackman.

If Gambit solo film Is mystry Fox marvel 2018 film there Is 90% chance there won't be anything else done with Original cast with exception of Jackman.

It defently sounds like they may be going into Magneto's personal life in Apocalypse.

If X-force Is ever made it will be done almost certinly In timeframe of X-men films.A Gambit solo film would almost certinly be set In 1980's

Since the stars of series now are James Mcavoy,Michael Fassbender,and Jennifer Lawrence with Hugh jackman those will be top ones they will try to get for next full X-Men film after Apocalypse.From Kinberg's Interview and Jackman backing away from earlier comments best to stop trying to predict when he will leave franchise.Besides he's only connection between OT and FC Trilogys.While they can live without fassbender and Lawrence they need Mcavoy.They aren't casting Channing tatum as Gambit and not have him be
major character In franchise.

By Kinberg's comments they aren't planing a re-do of dark Phoenix.He earlier said the famke Janssen jean at end of DOFP never became Phoenix.Well that may mean dark Phoenix and not devolping stronger powers as she did In X2.

Kinberg said again the plan is for Bryan Singer to direct Apocalypse but realisticly Apocalypse could be his last film at least as director.Apocalypse will be fourth X-Men film he directed.That's a impressive amount for a franchise even though the first 2 are now not very Important to series since it was "rebooted" In DOFP
 
How long do we have until the Fox panel? Just hoping they'll announce SOMETHING X-Men related.

Believe its around 4. Tatum is gonna get Gambit questions asked more then anything through the day so hopefully at the least we get get confirmation on a Gambit film with a release Date.

Anything Deadpool, X-Force, Gambit, or the mystery movie would be awesome. Fox's panel line up seems a lil dull right now minus Kigsmen so fingers crossed they will surprise X fans with what they want to hear.

This is really the place to do that and Fox can grab the announcement buzz before everyone else. With the success of DOFP time to show that confidence.
 
Yeah at the very least we'll get some new quotes from Kinberg and Tatum.
 
The fact they have a 2 hour panel gives me hope that there will be some surprises in there to do with X-Men because as def said, it does look dull

With no Apes or F4, I would really think something X related has to go down with what they have in the works. Their Wondercon panel had a stronger lineup this year.

Really tough to tell, but would love for Fox to throw out the first wave of big surprises. Those poor fans in the Hall H line deserve it more then anything.
 
Agreed. If they don't give us something it'll be a giant waste of time to even be there.
 
4 hours or so to go. :o


In other news, one of Singer's lawsuits was dismissed. One more to go before he's in the clear, so to speak.
 
The lawsuit claiming he had forced himself on anoymas actor at UK premiere of Superman returns was dismissed.

The one filled by Egan which has been falling apart remains.

The fact he has been regurly tweeting again was a sign him and his lawyer felt good about their chances.
 
With X-Men Days of Future Past being the juggernaut that it was I'd like to see them finally greenlight Deadpool at SDCC.

That being said I can understand if they wish to focus on X-Men now that they've got the franchise back into the mainstream and not go down the path that could lead to another slump like with Origins

Origins flat out sucked. Just make a good movie and problem solved. No more excuses when they announced a script, Actor and Director for the past 5 years. Either make it or say it's cancelled.

Yeah, it's a tough gamble waiting even if anything was announced. Can waste your whole day there and not get in. To get in and see nothing Superhero can be just as disappointing.

Ryan Reynolds as Lauren shueller DOnner's choice for lead may make them nevous
even through Deadpool can be made fairly cheap.In past they have had discussed doing a 50 million budget Deadpool film.

They may want to put deadpool as well as Gambit in full X-Men film first.

Which is honestly nothing. There's little risk here to be honest with that low of a budget. They should have confidence with Deadpool at this point between his own popularity and the extremely lesser known properties out there that have made that cash. If they don't now then the studio will continue to lag till someone grows a pair.

Just say it's delayed or whatever. Deadpool fans are pissed more at the fact they can't make up their mind and send mixed messages. Every other Marvel property is getting made right now or has already.

Simon Kinberg talks a bit more about the Four Horsemen
A quick question about the X-Men: Apocolypse. Are the Four Horsemen based on mutants we have seen before or will they be new ones?

I cannot answer you question, but they are ones we have seen before if you have read the comics. I cannot answer that. I know the answer to it, but we are still in the formal stages of figuring that out. But in truth, like everything you are developing a TV show or a movie, it could change. So I wouldn’t want to tell you one thing, and then six months from now you read somebody getting cast, oh because some focus group told them that this character was no good and it really is things change. Especially in Days of Future Past, the Quicksilver character was a young Juggernaut. When Bryan [Singer] came on, he thought the Juggeranut has already been exploited, and he didn’t think it was fresh enough. We went down the list of who is another mutant that could help Magneto escape in that sequence that could be a new visual, and he got excited about Quicksilver, because he saw this high speed photography that he wanted to use, and that became the kitchen sequence. That’s high speed photography is based on youtube clips that Bryan had seen. You just may never know, and that was a late game decision to cast young Juggernaut. There will be Four Horsemen I can tell you that.
 
So comics eh? Who do we got...

Death: Angel, Wolverine, Gambit, or Banshee.
Famine: Sunfire, Autmn Rolfson
Pestilence: Sinister, Polaris, Plague
War: Gazer, Abraham Kieros

Or if they go Uncanny X-Force.

Ichiusimi, Jeb Lee, Decimus Furius or Psylocke

He also mentioned the cartoons in an earlier interview, so I wouldn't count out those possibilities either.
 
So it could be any of them but put in any of the roles. So I am thinking

Gambit, wolverine, sinister and Banshee/Polaris... (Good enough reason for Magneto and Quicksilver to get involved?)

It's basically the same besides Evolution which I think I remember had Storm, Prof X and Magneto as Horsemen.

Edit: and Mystique

Yep. Evolution had Storm, Xavier, Magneto and Mystique.
 
There Is also Abyss and Holocaust from Age of APocalypse too.

WOlverine is prime candiate.

I have heard speculation they might play homage to Onslaught by having Xavier
turned into horseman.

It may be sping or summer 2015 tell they reveal or it gets leaked who are
the horseman.

What I mean is they've got the audience back and a might not want to risk a introducing a new spin-off that could harm that
