Days of Future Past 'X-men: DOFP' Official CAST Thread (announcements and discussion) - Part 2

[psylockolussus]

If you are trying to say that I don't know what I'm saying. Then you are entitled to your own opinion. And judging on your last few posts in this thread, you are not the best personhere to say that to me.

Pot meet kettle.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ I know exactly what I'm saying; you, on the other hand, keep trying to make an argument that makes no sense. That's not just my assessment; it's the assessment of several others as well.

 

[psylockolussus]

So should DOFP be seen as a prequel film like Origins/First Class because the OT is going to the past period like as if the events that will happen in the movie already happened in the past?

No.

It doesn't make sense to call DOFP as a prequel film just because majority of the scenes are in 1973 while in fact, the events that will happen in the movie and the things that the present X-Men will do in 1973 hasn't happened before.

No.

Actually, yes.

DoFP IS a prequel; it's ALSO a sequel (to both First Class AND the X-Trilogy).

 

[psylockolussus]

What will happen to the younger version of Magneto, Professor X, Beast and Mystique with people from the future intervening the events in their time period hasn't happened before unlike the events of First Class. Do you think the older version of Magneto, Professor X, Beast and Mystique met the 2010s X-Men in 1973? If no, then this film is not showing events that already happened in the past so it can't be a prequel film.

Anyway, I'm viewing this film in the point of view of the original cast.

Which makes no sense; this film is first and foremost a First Class sequel that will also serve as a sequel of sorts to the X-Trilogy... not the other way around.

 

[psylockolussus]

And like I said before, we will only know once we see the film and these are all speculations.

Anyway, this film could be a prequel film like First Class IF the older/OT version of Magneto, Beast, Professor X and Mystique did meet the 2010s X-Men in 1973.

 

[Majik1387]

This film is a sequel to both First Class and the original trilogy, not a prequel.

 

[Doc Ock]

This film is a sequel to both First Class and the original trilogy, not a prequel.

Which makes it just sound so awesome!

 

[Majik1387]

Agreed.

 

[mkilban2]

I understand your point but your logic is just wrong Psylockolussus. If someone is currently in 2013, and visiting a different time in the future or past, that isn't their present, their present is always 2013 moving forward in 24 hour increments. If Wolverine time travels from today to 2100 he's presently in the future but it's not the present in time, 2013 is.

Read the Age of Ultron series, its dealing with time travel, there's 2 versions of Wolverine in it, a present version and an alternate present version because he traveled to the past and altered the past, then traveled back to the present which became an alternate present where things happened differently. (don't want to give any spoilers so being vague.)

I don't think the DoFP will even use time travel like stated above, or even in Harry Potter where there's multiple versions of the same character at the same time. It's just confusing to audiences but there's always the past/the present/and the future. not the present, then the future present, or the past present. you can presently be in the future, but it's not the present timeline it's the future timeline you just happen to be there presently.

 

[mkilban2]

is it not a sequel to first class, but a prequel to the x-trilogy (that's attempting to alter that future from happening, or even a future that's further ahead than where x-3 ended.. maybe even post Wolverine?)

there;s just too many questions still.. I'm just taking this film as a sequel to First Class which happens to be my favorite so far, and anything else added in is just extra goodies.

 

[Majik1387]

It's not a prequel at all. It follows the events of First Class as well as following the events of X3; moving forward does not a prequel make.

Is the future stuff happening after X3 or during?.. then otherwise yes not a prequel, unless you're counting the fact that the past of DOFP is chronologically before the time of X3 as it being a prequel, but that's just grasping at straws lol.

Sequel to FC and Sequel to X3 if the future they go to is a time period after X3's conclusion.

 

[psylockolussus]

DOFP is set after X3 and I said that when I said why DOFP can't be a prequel.

Its been confirmed a long time ago that DOFP is set after X3.

 

[Majik1387]

All future stuff happens after X3.

There's future with Bishop, Blink, Prof X, Storm(or it could jut be a new costume?), etc.
Then there's modern day with original cast Jackman, Paquin, Page, Ashmore, etc; also some in future. However all their scenes are post-X3, aka not prequel.
And then there's past in the First Class 70s.

Look at it this way, just because Doc and Marty went further in the past in Back to the Future 3, did it make it a prequel to the first two? No. It was a continuation.

ah okay.. I'm not super up to speed on this movie, just knew the jist of it. So.. between those 3 timeframes which is said to have the most screentime? I'm hoping that the 70's class is the one that gets the majority of the time seeing as this is a sequel to First Class and that's what they should be focusing on, not focusing entirely on trying to fix screw ups from the past or whatever.

 

[Double B]

And when was this alleged three separate time periods confirmed?

The modern day/future stuff are the same period, surely?

 

[Sawyer]

lol @ all the assumptions flying around. The cake isn't even ****ing baked yet and you're all desperate to put the icing on.

 

[psylockolussus]

I think Majik got it wrong. He was assuming there's a modern day team with the OT cast and there's a separate future period where Prof X and the new characters belong to.

I think its just the FC cast (1973) and the modern day X-Men.

 

[DOFP]

And when was this alleged three separate time periods confirmed?

The modern day/future stuff are the same period, surely?

^^ I agree with you. whaaaaaa??

 

[X-Maniac]

I agree that it is not a prequel. If it was about the years from 1962 to 1973, before any time travel intervention, and if it didn't feature the future cast and time travelling, then it would be a prequel.

But it's about a dystopian future and a 1973 past that is altered when time traveller(s) arrive.

That, to me, is not a prequel.

If, somehow, the actions that take place in 1973 line the film up with the original trilogy and set things up for X1, then I would consider it a prequel

 

[marvelrobbins]

First off we have no Idea what year the trilogy took place.The future stuff takes place a few years after.Although at time the trilogy took place In the near future that was before they set first Class In 1962.

There Is likely to be 3 timeframes In film If reports of James Marsden on set are
accurate

1:Future that Is post trilogy and The Wolverine
2:1973 11 years after events of first Class
3:Future altered at end of film where both future with sentinles as well as
some events of Last Stand prevented

Any scene In 1973 before the time traveler or Travelers interfear can be called
prequel.

A fascinating quote from Hugh Jackman posted to Screenrant regarding the potential for an Avengers/X-Men mash up, including:

"one of the great things about this movie is that a lot of people from Marvel are here and it seems a lot more inclusive than it has been in the past. I don't know what's happening behind the scenes, but I think it is fantastic".

Jackman goes on to provide high praise for Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige. Is there a deal in the works to have more collaboration between the two studios going forward? Will Disney/Marvel be involved in putting an MCU-style marketing push together for DOFP? Could Jackman be the one to heal the apparent rift between Disney/Marvel and FOX? Stay tuned.

 

[Angamb]

Hugh's words made me think that something may be goin on.

"a lot more people from Marvel are here" and "a lot more inclusive"

interesting
