Bryan Singer Debunks Worrying X-MEN Rumor; "Apocalypse Is Not An Alien"

Perhaps in an effort to put the minds of worried comic book fans everywhere at ease, X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer has taken to Twitter to briefly debunk recent reports which made it sound as if the titular villain of X-Men: Apocalypse would be alien in origin...

Last week, a report surfaced claiming that the after-credits scene of X-Men: Days of Future Past would feature - stop reading now if you don't want to know - an "alien form" crashing to Earth from the night's sky, seemingly possessing Magneto in the process. Since then, worried fans have been wondering whether this means that the time travelling mutant would be alien in origin, but X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer has taken to Twitter to kill that sort of speculation before it can even get properly started. Does this also mean the description is false? Stay tuned...

Not an X-Men fan so I don't know. Aren't stories with Apocalype like their best stories. Does anyone have a problem with them just tossing Apocalypse in this universe so soon?

@Taydee They've had 5 or 6 movies so far. I wouldn't call this "soon".

@nomis I would argue with you. But even though I believe Singer's X Men movies are really good movies, I can understand why fans would be upset with them.

Still. This just seems to soon imo. At least Thanos is going to have 2 teases before he comes full fledge.

It never said he was an "alien" in the first place, it said he looked like he had an "alien form" because you know Apocalypse doesn't resemble your usual "mutant" and in fact does look like an "alien".

When the source says "possessing Magneto", is it possible that they mean Apocalypse makes him into one of his four horsemen? Plus, in the comics, doesn't Apocalypse (who is from ancient Egypt) arrive in the present through the use of alien technology stolen from Kang The Conqueror or something?

He could have just said the whole description was fake but he didn't. He just said Apocalypse wont be a alien so....
SpiderRanger
SpiderRanger - 12/9/2013, 1:06 PM
Isn't it quite obvious, that during the events of "Days of future past" some kind of time hole will be created, thus allowing Apocalypse to flee ancient Egypt and coming to out time...!?

Cable, Cyclops, Gambit and Archangel HAVE to fight Apocalypse.

If this doesnt happen....... well, I really dont believe this wont happen.

2016. X-Men: Apocalypse

2018: X-Men: Rise and Fall of Apocalypse.

or whatever they wanna call them. But we need TWO PARTS of this epic saga

They have been mentioning the fantastic four will be teaming up with the xmen in the future

Thank God. It's interesting that he doesn't say the Magneto part is false or if the crash landing part is false too. mmmmmmm

This movie will be badass! Singer will do Apoc justice. And @scorpion, how is Singer a hack? He didn't kill Cyclops or Jean!!!

Told you. Now he just needs to clarification on the whole Merging thing. Like I said people took a second hand description, and took every word of it out of context. I said from the beginning that what might be seen as Merging could be the making of a horseman. I don't know about you but magneto as a horseman would own, imo.

Like I said, I think FOX is trying hard to get a Thanos like character on the big screen before Thanos appears.lol

I want to see Mags, Wolvie, Angel and Cable be the Horsemen. That would kick ass.

Is there an announced release date for DoFP yet?

I think it's time we got young...

Cyclops
Jean
Storm
Beast

All on film together! :)

I'm already anticipated for the film after Apocalypse! Hope it is a two parter though. I have a feeling that X4 and X5 are DOFP and AOA. Singers pitched ideas for these films very long ago after The Last Stand was released.

And Truthfully I don't care if they do merge, as long as it's apoc alone in the final showdown versus everyone. He never just shows up and wreck shop, he uses flunkies to do his dirty work.
