Personally don't trust kinberg as far as I can throw him, especially after he attempted to blame everyone else for the last stand. Whedon said he wanted sw and as long before either film started up production. Even said themselves it was meant to be juggernaut breaking out magneto and then they changed it.

how are we going to get Angel to be in Apocalypse so that we can have Archangel as a horseman is the real question.

Didn't Helman and Collider already confirm Helman was cast as Jughead, but replaced as Stryker at the last minute (after Whedon's announcement) in favor of Quicksilver? Lol either way Simon, thanks for the update.

So they're going to bring quicksilver from the 70's to the present time? Haha...
Kurne

@TheBrotherhood

Apocalypse is going to be set in the 80's.

Which reminds me, considering Pietro is as young as - say 17 in this film, he'd be what, 47 in X2's time? 67 in DOFP's (future) time? Lol how old are Charles and Erik in the future?

Age of Ultron Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be more popular than the X-Men versions, simply because A) Its Marvel studios and B) They're being introduced in the Avengers. That's just a fact of life. The Avengers 'fandom' will make sure of that. It would be similar to CW Flash being more popular than the inevitable cinematic Flash.

Peters looks like Olsen's bro, Taylor-Johnson looks like Fassbender's son 0_o

@Kurne

Magneto seemed to be about 13-14 when he met Sebastian Shaw (to me at least) so he was probably 30-31 when he met Xavier & Mystique, 40ish in DOFP and since the future thing in DOFP is apparently 2023, I'd say Mags is over 90 when the future segments are happening.

I would only say to watch Origins to watch Liev Schreiber's performance.

Well thats gonna be some confusing shit they adding Quicksilver and Gambit all in different timelines so what will Quicksilver be on a walker and Gambit have Arthritis throwing cards because I dont see how they gonna fit with the other x-men they will probably ignore the timeline or say they arelike wolverine and age different GOTTA LOVE FOX SMH
Kurne

@ekrolo2

That sounds about right. I remember McAvoy and Fassbender saying Charles and Erik were in their late 20's in First Class. Sounded like bs so I ignored them :P But yes, assuming he's at least 31 in First Class, in DOFP (2023) he's about... 93.

McNyagano - 5/20/2014, 4:38 AM
Hell Yeah, he was awesome in DOFP! Just give him better clothing next time-.-
ekrolo2
ekrolo2 - 5/20/2014, 4:38 AM
@Alexander@shade

Apocalypse is based solely on the First Class people in the 80s, so no they wouldn't be too old. If they brought back the older cast (which they probably won't) then it would be an issue for both Pietro and Gambit.
ekrolo2
ekrolo2 - 5/20/2014, 4:43 AM
@Alexander

I believe it has a final scene with the future cast as a sort of send off to them, but the series as a whole will continue solely in the past.

One of Fox's biggest problems is costuming in their comic book movies. Nobody would have said "boo" if Quicksilver didn't look so damn stupid in that outfit. Fox has gotten one look right out of ALL their movies- MAGNETO Michael Fassbender.
Second place Beast X-Men Last Stand
Third Place Nightcrawler X2 (except there was no need for all those tattoos)

Everything else CRAP. They couldn't even give Cyclops decent visors.
X1- Sabretooth looked like cosplay
Storm always looks dumb in those wigs.
The very s&m gay-centric skin tight leather suits
And sorry but the future X-Men in DOFP look like a collection of cosplayers.

McNyagano - 5/20/2014, 4:50 AM
ekrolo is right:) As much as I dislike Wolverine and what they have done to the character in this franchise, he's the one I'm most excited to see in Apocalypse given what happens to his 70's younger self at the end of DOFP:O
