The scene in the train station where a young boy smiles at Cyclops and he smiles back was unplanned. The boy was a huge X-Men fan, and Cyclops was his favorite. The scene originally called for Cyclops to look at the train schedule, but according to Bryan Singer the boy could not stop smiling at James Marsden. Finally, during one shot, Marsden just looked back at him and smiled, much to the boy’s delight. Bryan Singer liked the idea so much, he kept it in the film. (x)

Thanks for the new thread, Sarah!

We'll need some gifs of Tye, though.

We do

agreed

Anybody got title?

So if the X-universe is heading towards the future shown in Logan, what hope is there for all these young mutants shown in the First Class trilogy? I don't care how good the Logan film is, I don't want some doom and gloom future shoved on the end of the X-story. Just because Disney Marvel did it doesn't mean Fox has to.

I feel the story from First Class Trilogy can still be done

than let the kids from Logan growup to do more down the line

sum1 · 03-06-2017, 04:31 PM

Yeah, but it's all screwed up if the story ends with the X-Men all being killed off and mutants nearly going extinct. Kind of dampens the enthusiasm for the story when we have that hanging over it. We had this situation before when X-Men First Class had X3's future hanging over it, and they fixed it with Days of Future Past. The question is will they fix the Logan future the same way? My worry is they won't because Logan is a succss, unlike X3.

Yea that is the concern for sure

I wouldn't worry, sum1. Logan is based on the Old Man Logan comic, which is already a non-canon alternate future storyline.

I'm guessing that they'll incorporate Laura/X-23 into the present day X-Men as the new Wolverine at some point the way they did in the comics.

That sounds interesting

But will they incoprorate her as a little kid? That woud be kind of weird.

I could see them waiting/aging her

sum1 · 03-09-2017, 04:25 PM

What, putting the actress in some tube and making her get old fast?

**PhoenixRising** · 03-09-2017, 11:42 PM

I'm actually thinking of some kind of time-travel thing, to be honest.

I still ship Cyclops with Jean, but it'll be interesting to see the Scott/Laura dynamic from the comics in the movies.

Oh thanks for the comic pieces

I believe she's be in X-Force, and I also believe Cable will end up being a father figure to her.
