X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Director Finally Attempts To Address The Movie's Unresolved Plot Twist

X-Men: Days of Future Past ended with us learning that Wolverine had been rescued by Mystique posing as William Stryker but X-Men: Apocalyse failed to address that in any way. Now, Bryan Singer explains...

At the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Wolverine was skewered by Magneto and thrown into a river, seemingly left for dead. However, the movie ended with William Stryker rescuing him, something everyone assumed would result in Logan receiving his Adamantium skeleton. However, eagle-eyed moviegoers noticed that it wasn't Stryker at all; it was Mystique disguised as the comic book villain! 

It was a moment which left us with a lot of questions; would she be the one who turns Logan into Wolverine? Was she going to rescue him, thereby helping him to avoid becoming Stryker's 
Weapon X?

Unfortunately, X-Men: Apocalypse didn't offer any answers because while we saw that Logan hadn't managed to avoid his fate, there was no reference to what Mystique being disguised as Stryker meant. Now, Bryan Singer has taken to Instagram to attempt to explain what was going on in that scene and while it's not particularly satisfying, it does at least go some way in addressing the divisive scene.

Real reason: It's always gotta be about Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique.

@L0RDbuckethead - no dofp was a farewell to the original xmen crew. the yellow eyes is an easter egg for x1 as it ended with the senator having yellow eyes too.

It kinda IS addressed in Apocalypse tho.
Basically when Mystique saves Kurt, she tells him that she doesn't babysit anyone, her "job" is to save mutants and that's it, which is what happened in DOFP.

As for Logan's path, shit gets depressing for him, because this means that he was always meant to go down that ugly path full of pain for him.
I guess there weren't enough "ripples to change the tide" for him. :/

BTW i'm glad for that, sorry Logan. :P

@dracula - He was always my top choice for the MCU's Wolverine. Honestly, nobody else was even in my mind as he was so perfect for the role.

Someone else posted this earlier. It's such a good practical looking costume for Wolverine, I hope the MCU version gets a proper costume.
