The storyline is set to alternate between the 1970’s, and a future-set post apocalyptic America in which Mutant stalking Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live hunted and afraid, or confined to internment camps. The 1970’s X-Men are forewarned of this dark future by a time-traveler who’s journeyed back in time to prevent the coming dystopia. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, and Daniel Cudmore return from X-Men: The Last Stand, while James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Lucas Till return from X-Men: First Class. Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Booboo Stewart, Fan Bingbing, Adan Canto, Evan Peters and Josh Helman round out the film's principal cast. Principal photography began in April 2013 in Montreal, Canada. Production wrapped August 17th 2013. The film was shot in 3D. It is the most expensive film ever shot in Canada, and the second most expensive film ever produced by 20th Century Fox. The movie is released May 23rd 2014. ▮ Press Fox Closes Deal For Bryan Singer To Direct Next ‘X-Men’ ▮ Trailers ▮ Media ...and just for fun... ▮ Websites IMDB Bryan Singer's Twitter  Last edited by Violent Delights; 03-16-2014 at 11:26 AM |

Carrying this over, in better quality...
 And a few more...   Plus, it looks like Wanda 'The Scarlet Witch' Maximoff will be making a little cameo.   Strictly speaking though, Pietro and Wanda are supposed to be twins (you'll see that In Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron), but seeing as Pietro has always treated Wanda as though she were his little sister, I'm fine with this. Not that it matters much... Bryan Singer Talks X-Men: Apocalypse The director debunks Magneto-as-Apocalypse rumour Quote:

It's a fascinating article. (Lots to go through)
What I found most interesting was that the story seems very much to be Matthew Vaughan's and Simon Kinberg's. The time-travel idea came from Singer, but it was Kinberg who said Days of Future Past, and it was Vaughan who said their time-traveler should be Wolverine. Vaughan set 1973 as the year, and it was both he and Kinberg who opted to include the Kennedy assassination into the film's back-story, and decided that all of the original X-Men - or at least as many as would fit - should be brought back into play. Singer seems to have had a great deal to do with shaping the screenplay alongside Kinberg, but the beats of the movie were laid in place before he took back the director's chair, and made it all his own again. Empire seem quite convinced that this will be the biggest X-Men movie of them all. That much at least, seems certain. But they go further, suggesting that it may indeed be the biggest superhero epic yet committed to the screen... __________________

Man I wanted to see Rogue because she is part of the core of Xmen. Its almost as bad as excluding Xavier from the movie but whatever. And in the movie Rogue wasn't as interesting as I saw in the comics and cartoon. She was suppose to be strong and badass, not useless and clueless.

Rogue in the movies first of all, is younger and indeed far less experienced than the Rogue of the 90’s cartoon series, or the comics. In a lot of ways X1 & 2 are her origin story, she doesn’t even become an X-(Wo)Man until the third act of the third movie, if then. In X1 she is just coming to terms with her mutation, and it is that which drives the character. In fact it was the nature of her mutation, and her youth which most interested Bryan Singer. From the beginning, Rogue assumes the role of the every-mutant, and conversely the mutant among the mutants. Her power is so potent an allegory for alienation and self-conscious anxiety that it must have been screaming out to be exploited cinematically when those guys set out to adapt the sprawling, and increasingly convoluted comic series into a streamlined, narrow-band movie. Indeed it was X-Men’s discovery of a very human and socio-political dimension to the world of super-heroics which set it apart from those that had preceded it. Those of us familiar with the source material know that it was always there, but there’s no denying that it caught the attention of filmmakers and film critics alike, and ignited an interest in the comicbook/superhero movie that has only grown stronger since. The sensitive, and human portrayal of Rogue had much to do with that. And while she might not have her super-strength or be able to fly, this Rogue is hardly weak, nor is she clueless. This is a girl who takes off to fend for herself following the emergence of a power which casts her as leech and pariah. A girl who forges a new life for herself despite the fear she must be holding inside her, and the knowledge that a normal existence will be forever denied her. The character gets short-shrift in the third movie, and that might be the root of the problem here. Rogue was on a trajectory towards becoming an integral and powerful X-Man – in fact it seems Days’ had intended to cast her very much in that light, until it became clear that the portion of the narrative which featured her was wholly superfluous and detrimental to pacing - X3 side-lined all that in favour of an ill-advised, and whisper-thin mutant-cure inspired sub-plot, designed to wrap her story up in an all too neat, and quite frankly insulting manner which left a sour note in the air. But there’s so many misjudgements in that movie, it’s almost better to disregard them going forward. Wipe them away with some economically phrased piece of exposition, and move on. Maybe in the future we’ll be treated to a boosting of her super-powers but as it stands, at least in terms of the first two X-Movies, Rogue is a fully realised character, self-possessed and strong-willed, with a streak of tragedy to her tale, and a lot of room for future development. There was at one point, talk of developing the X-Kids (Rogue, Ice-Man, COLLOSUS, Shadowcat etc.) into a stand-alone movie. Considering what Lauren Schuler-Donner has been saying about spin-offs and Fox’s desire to create a fully formed X-Verse for cinema, maybe that’s an idea that might make a comeback in some form or other. I suppose we’ll see…  __________________

Rebecca had that brilliant line in X1:
Quote:
That to me, is what they're exploring with Mystique in First Class. The little girl/young woman afraid to be herself, ashamed of who she is, and how she finally manages to accept her mutation. Her arc in Day's should be about how she goes from there, to militant pro-mutant activist, willing to do unspeakable things for her cause...  __________________

I still know why is Magneto attacking her in that scene we filmed, I get why he's attacking Beast, unless he's defending Mystique. I know she jumps of a window and get hurt |
