We are just a month and change away from X-Men: Days of Future Past, so we better start talking about the next entry in the franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse.
In a recent interview to EW, director Bryan
Singer and co-writer and co-producer Simon Kinberg talked about their plans for
the next film, and revealed that they will be taking elements from the 90's
comic run, Age of Apocalypse, but “won’t
necessarily create an alternate universe, but there may be some swapping things
that I’m playing with.” This probably means that the time travel in
Days of Future will somehow change the reality of the story so it better fits
the changes they will be making for Apocalypse. Kinberg also adds that “From a
visual standpoint it actually may be a bigger movie than Days of Future
Past because there’ll be disaster movie imagery, like the title would
imply.” What? So it will be a 2012/X-Men movie?
About the connection between Days of Future Past
and Apocalypse, Singer says that there won't be any (or at least that's what
i'm reading). No cliffhangers, no hooks, no nothing. Strange right?
“You won’t feel at the end of the movie that it
set up Apocalypse. What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what
we’ll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen.
Apocalypse deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants
were? What would mutants think humans were? You’re dealing with gods and things
like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our
world?”
Singer also confirmed that James McAvoy's Charles Xavier, Michael
Fassbender's Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, and Nicholas
Hoult's Beast will return for Apocalypse, but adds a younger
Nightcrawler and Gambit.
"I'm excited because I want to start
introducing familiar characters at different ages and also explore the
'80s".
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens in 2D and 3D on
May 23rd, and X-Men: Apocalypse opens on May 27th, 2016.
