RUMOR: Apocalypse To Have Major Role In Fox’s New X-MEN Universe

Unleash The Fanboy isn't exactly the site you associate with breaking huge scoops, but nevertheless they make a bold claim. First off that they have a source within Fox studio, and that the source has revealed Fox's plan to bring the 5,000-year-old human mutant, Apocalypse, to the big screen.

This is what she said:
“He’s definitely a big part of Fox’s whole plan for a big X-Men universe with spin-off movies. The Avengers really is the template here”

Will he show up in Days Of Future Past?
“I won’t say too much about that. You’ll just have to wait and see”


Although, this info may seem old compare to Bleeding Cool's interview with Bryan Singer last March. At that point Singer was asked about the gray skinned mutant with blue lips being Days Of Futures Past and replied nervously, "I can’t tell you…" When pressed further he tried to deflect the questions with, "This is how it gets started, when somebody starts piecing the little bits together…."




X-Men: Days Of Future Past will be directed by Bryan Singer ("Usual Suspects"), the cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, January Jones, Sean Cassidy, Álex González, Jason Flemyng, Zoe Kravitz, Lucas Till, Nicholas Hault, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. The film will hit theaters July 18, 2014.

Makes sense with an X-FORCE movie on the loom. I expect the original timeline to change into The Age of Apocalypse timeline, replacing the future events of Days of Future Past.

He will probably be the behind the scene villian like how THANOS currently is in the MCU.

@SuperDude001 They are only using it because of story set up. It's the same with comics you have these solo issues then bring it all together in one super team comic. There's no other way to do a story that connects I mean are you [frick]ing stupid, yes they are making money but we are also getting movies we've been wanting since Xmen adn Spider Man took off.

My guess: he's gonna be to the FOX-universe same that Thanos is to MCU.

as much as i want to see apocalypse on the big screen,its not very original is it.

marvel studios creates a shared universe which will feature thanos at some point.

fox announce shared universe with possibly apocalypse playing a big part of it.

if warner pulls its finger out of its arse,we may see a cinematic universe & i bet they go for darkseid as the main villain.

not every cinematic universe is gonna be as successful as what marvel studios has pulled off,unless they come up with some originality.

Apocalypse has the best lines in comic books! He's just epic!

This may be out of the box thinking, but I always thought Djimon Hounsou would be awesome for Apocalypse!

@Marvel72.
100% agree. But who can blame the other studios for trying? Marvel has a winning formula. What other studios have done in the past was mediocre at best. Who can ignore the sheer size, patience & potential that Marvel has shown by creating their cinematic universe. Fox and DC HAVE to go the same route because everything else they've tried has failed in comparison.

Have them change the original timeline into a potential Age of Apocalypse one. End DOFP with a teaser of Apocalypse, and then make him the main villian of the sequel. In between they could make a First Class sequel introducing young versions of Scott and Jean with Mr. Siniestro as the villian. Maybe make Apocalypse have a presence in X-Force. The thing with introducing time-travel and multiple timelines is that it opens a lot of exciting possibilities.

I shudder at the thought of what Singer will do with Apocalypse. Still, its at least a bit encouraging.

Fox execs, without an original idea in their peabrains, are ripping off Joss Whedon's brilliant idea to make Thanos the big bad in the MCU by finally doing the same with Apocalypse.

The more news that has broken lately I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe they are actually trying to make their own mold of movie. Something for the adults & less the kids? Hmmmm
