Simon Kinberg Explains X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST's After-Credits Scene

Like so many other Marvel movies, Bryan Singer's superb X-Men: Days of Future Past features an after-credits scene which teased what's to come. Simon Kinberg talks about the significance of it here, but if you haven't seen the movie, be warned that there are major spoilers ahead...

X-Men: Days of Future Past ends with a flashback to Ancient Egyptian times as we see a young boy building the pyramids with his mutant powers. His worshippers are all chanting "En Sabah Nur," and four horsemen look on in the background. Does this mean that the Apocalypse in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse will be a child? Nope. "The post-credit sequence is a tease into what will be the Apocalypse movie. Now the Apocalypse you see – that young boy – may not be the actor who plays the character in our movie," Kinberg explains in the video interview with IGN Movies above. "It’s a deep back story glimpse into the character, but our movie doesn’t take place in ancient Egypt and will likely not star a young boy Apocalypse." What did you guys think of the X-Men: Days of Future Past after-credits scene? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

Such a [frick]ing epic film. I'm still in awe. So fantastic. 10/10. My favorite CBM this year, beating TWS in a close one.

Seriously, great film.

If people don't remember it was a sign of royalty to look feminine in in ancient Egypt so that's why i assume he looks like a chick because that was the first the that popped in my head when i seen him

LOL wheres's Zauri? Didn't he say this would be the "Batman and Robin" of the X-men franchise?

LOL what an Ass-munch!

GetsugaTensho22 - 5/23/2014, 4:15 AM
He looked like a chick because he was a pubescent teenager wearing make-up that looked shiny under the sun. That's all.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/23/2014, 4:16 AM
@GetsugaTensho LMAO!! He even said the movie looked like a "made-for-TV" film -.-

I've watched the leaked scene and oh my, young Apocalypse looks exactly like Andrej Pejic

CherryBomb

I just love how they tie the X Men into big world events, it makes the universe that more believable.
FC - Cuban missile crisis
DOFP - Kennedy assassination
Apocalypse - the building of the pyramids

Singer had to sneak a young boy in the film somehow.
SuperCat
SuperCat - 5/23/2014, 4:36 AM
I thought it was a girl as well. Maybe Singer was going for an androgynous look for the character.
Kurne
Kurne - 5/23/2014, 4:39 AM
Wonder how big they'll make him.
CherryBomb
CherryBomb - 5/23/2014, 4:49 AM
Yeah, androgyny was very popular in Egypt, so I'm not surprised they went with a feminine looking Apocalypse.
Kind of adds to the mystery.

He also had his trademark "lipstick" that Apoc has, so that will have made him appear more feminine.

Did he have, urm, "the mouth"? Like, did the mouth resemble the classic ESN look? I'm watching this on Sunday, but I want to know now! ;)
CherryBomb
CherryBomb - 5/23/2014, 4:53 AM
I'm getting pissed off now, ha!
I've watched it 10 times and I'm like 99% sure it's the androgynous model Andrej Pejic!!!!
I'm dying to find out it I'm right :(

All the other studios are slowly but surely following marvels blueprint of after credits. I wonder why they didn't get that copy written.

Errrrm didn't Fox do it first with the post credits scene for X Men The Last Stand???
Kurne
Kurne - 5/23/2014, 5:18 AM
Blade was doing credit scenes before everyone.

SteveBosell - 5/23/2014, 5:19 AM
Wait. This is a dude?



Call me old fashioned but I prefer men to look like men and women to look like women. It saves people from awkward situations.

As for the after-credits scene, absolutely amazing. Even the lo-res YouTube version took my breath away.

The person who played En Sabah Nur was spot on, but of course some people on this site have never really picked up some comics.
