LMAO

No.

Havok is the (much more interesting and enjoyable) brother of Cyclops.

Blink isn't born for 40 more years.

I could go on but the point is they just pick and choose characters they like with no regard for how it all fits...

Just watched this flick finally. Pretty good


Nice course correction and basically a big middle finger to XMen 3

Have you read the comic? They do this multiple timeline shit all the time.

Yep. Marvel and DC both are setting up to do it again this year with Marvel's Secret Wars and DC's Convergence story lines.

I like that they're redoing it like this. I don't know alot about the actors, but they better make Cyclops look like a badass this time around instead of a pussy. Even though they reset the timeline, killing him and Professor X off in The Last Stand will always leave a shit taste in my mouth.

That, and how they just completely shit all over the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix story lines.

I said they should of just went the route that all that shit was in jeans head, she survived the water collapse and was in a coma, and the phoenix was trying to get out..

Still say Xavier is worlds greatest villain.. Just nobody knows it..

It'll be cool to see how they explore the Phoenix in this one trying to get out. I think if they left it out its be a huge disservice.

I probably should post this in the podcast thread, but all X-Men fans should listen to "Rachel and Miles Explain the X-Men."

****ing great podcast explaining all the intricacies of the X-Men storylines. It's really, really good. Hosts are entertaining and their commentary on the storylines is priceless. And informative.

Since there isn't a ****ing search function anymore.....I can't find the X-Men Apocalypse thread that keg started.

So I'll just put this here.

Nightcrawler is joining X-Men: Apocalypse and this time, he’s a bit younger. Director Bryan Singer announced Tuesday that Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, Let Me In) has been cast in the film as the agile mutant. He was previously seen in X2: X-Men United as played by Alan Cumming. Read more about Nightcrawler being in X-Men Apocalypse below.

So Smit-McPhee joins a growing cast to the Summer 2016 film which already has added Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan (Tree of Life) as Cyclops and Alexandra Shipp (Drumline: A New Beat) as Storm. Rose Byrne is also returning.

In the comics Nightcrawler is a complex guy — in fact he’s often the beating heart, and sometimes the moral center, of the X-Men. He’s even been a father figure to some younger mutants, helping out the very same newcomers to Xavier’s school who are initially put off by his appearance. He’s the group’s swashbuckling elf, a guy who isn’t really at home in the modern world. We saw only shades of that in the previous film version of the character, and hopefully Kodi Smit-McPhee will be able to find more of that character.

Here’s a recap of the film from a previous article:

X-Men: Apocalypse will be set in the 1980s. Turner, Sheridan, and Shipp are playing the younger versions of the superheroes played by Famke Janssen, James Marsden, and Halle Berry in the original X-Men trilogy. They join fellow franchise newcomer Oscar Isaac, who’s playing the titular villain Apocalypse. In addition, Channing Tatum is rumored, but not yet confirmed, to make his debut as Gambit.

The film also brings back the core cast from X-Men: First Class: James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast. Hugh Jackman is in talks to return as Wolverine.

X-Men: Apocalypse promises to close out the First Class trilogy with “mass destruction.” The character of Apocalypse is an “ancient” mutant born thousands of years ago. The storyline will also prominently feature Mystique and her relationships with Beast and Magneto. Simon Kinberg wrote the script based on a story by himself, Singer, Michael Dougherty, and Dan Harris.

X-Men: Apocalypse starts shooting this spring in Canada. It opens May 27, 2016.

Nightcrawler was my favorite X-Man when I was reading the comics. I didn't like the way he was portrayed in X2 so I hope they get it right this time.

He's always been one of my favorites as well. I think teleportation is the coolest mutation..

I actually loved him in X2. That opening sequence was amazing at the time.

My favorite was always Gambit. And now they're going to **** that up by giving the role to Channing Tatum.

What could possibly go wrong?

Jennifer Lawrence says 'X-Men: Apocalypse' will be her last film in the franchise.

The 24-year-old actress, who's starred as Raven/Mystique in the Marvel films, has revealed 'X-Men: Apocalypse' will mark the final time she appears in the role.

Speaking at the premiere of her latest film 'Serena', Jennifer was asked about the upcoming 'X-Men' movie, to which she told MTV News: ''It is my last one, actually.''

By contrast, Jennifer's ex-boyfriend and 'X-Men' co-star Nicholas Hoult recently revealed he'd like to continue with the franchise, even though he's only committed to one more movie.

He said: ''This is the last one I'm signed up for.

''The first one did so well and [X-Men: Days of Future Past] got received so brilliantly. I have a good time playing [Beast] so I'd keep making them.''

Meanwhile, Jennifer's 'Serena' co-star Bradley Cooper recently confessed she made fun of him during her sex scenes for their new movie.

The pair have previously worked on 'American Hustle' and 'Silver Linings Playbook', but that didn't curb the awkwardness, according to the Hollywood star.

He shared: ''You never know how it's going to be. But for us, we laughed most of the time.''

And then Jennifer quipped: ''I pointed and laughed.''

Guess it's a good thing Mystique is a shape shifter. Pretty much anyone could play her.

Yep any attractive bitch who's 5'8" or over.

Sophie Turner as Jean Grey? I like it.

Olivia Munn will appear as Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse." :thumb:

http://variety.com/2015/film/news/x-...st-1201471471/

Not sure about her acting, but they nailed it from a hotness perspective.

Absolutely.

And I was a big fan of the original Psylocke character.

Her decision to "save" the X-Men led to the X men reboot and one of the coolest Wolverine stories out there.

Rogue Cut is out with 17 additional minutes.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ast-rogue-cut/

Uh, she can definitely act. She was one of the highlights of The Newsroom, which included some pretty damn good actors. She was an absolute standout.

Did anyone see the Apocalypse pics that were making their rounds? If that design makes it to the final cut I'll slit someone's throat.

This?

http://i62.tinypic.com/2hhd9af.jpg

He looks like a damn supervillain from a Power Rangers movie.

Dr. Ooze

Hahahah.

Apparently i'm not the only one who thinks so....

I love how random 5'6" henchwoman is taller than him. Apocalypse should be like 7 feet tall. I mean, he can change his size at will but his base size should be pretty huge.

Yeah, but that scowl. LMAO...

Doesn't exactly exude "Most powerful being in the galaxy" does it?

He looks like someone just told him some horrible news

Olivia Munn's crotchular region leaves a lot to be desired. It looks like she slapped on her grandmother's favorite pair of panties.

He looks ****ing stupid.

They just need to scrap everything above the neck. The costume and musculature aren't too bad. They definitely need to make him bigger, 6'6" at the very least, and maybe a little less purple, more blue.

‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel Titled ‘Days of Future Past’?
 

And get rid of that neck roll. I'm having flashbacks of early 2000s Mike Alstott. Is dude a ****ing linebacker or a celestial technology-amped mutant hellbent on taking over the world?

Yeah her costume isn't flattering.

Never know though, these could be pre-CGI pics? Maybe once some lighting goes in it'll look a bit different.

Munn is the least of my worries. They could throw her in a burka and I'd still find a way to fap to her.

Evidently the suit cannot contain her crotch...

Apocalypse looks like a villain from Ghostbusters 4

How can they look at that and say, yeah, job well done, gentlemen?

I'm hardly knitpicky with the whole it's gotta look like the comics version, but you can't go out of your way to make the 1st response when everyone sees your main villain that's supposed to be an epic character be to chuckle and laugh at his rediculousness.

Could this be some old rudimentary version of him from centuries ago, and they're keeping his present day incarnation under wraps?

It baffles me, because DoFP did a lot to get the franchise ship righted, to then turn around and blow this of all things.

I don't get why they didn't use the lip lines. It's his defining visual feature, you could have nothing but the lip lines and it'd look like Apocalypse. This design is like if they put Wolverine in a yellow spandex suit but left off the mutton chops.

Should of went with Mr. Sinister.

You can't have Mr. Sinister without Apocalypse.

Speaking of, has there been any mention of Cable?

In fairness, (generally speaking) comic book characters will always look better in print and this look would be pretty tough to pull off IRL.

http://cdn1-www.superherohype.com/as...se-header4.jpg

Should of? Should of?

You try to pass yourself as a smart guy but say "should of"?

:facepalm:

And plenty of older illustrations were similar to Singer's version but you can't please everyone, especially the hardcore fans.

So screw 'em.

Exactly. I expected something maybe more like...

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/...avewilkins.jpg

Already leaked legit information points to him being the primary villain in the upcoming Gambit movie.

How they can omit one of his defining physical features and skip the design of his mouth is a crime against humanity.

LMAO

Ivan Ooze!

Apparently Mohawk girl next to Apoc and Munn is a young Storm.

That dude looks like a mother****er that will rip your heart out through dick hole.

Which brings me to another point of annoyance, why is the dude's skin purple? It should be gray. His skin is always gray.

Yeah I can't think why they would make his skin purple. Off topic but on the next Wolverine Movie you think they might have omega red.

I'm not sure. I'd guess so. Omega Red is really the only main Wolverine villain we haven't seen on film yet.

I did read that Hugh Jackman is signed on for this new X-Men: Apocalypse and one more Wolverine spinoff and then he's done. It'll be interesting to see how they try and wrap it all up.

Yeah he has two more films left and I heard Jerry Seinfeld told Jackmen to call it quits on playing Wolverine.

http://www.people.com/people/mobile/...929367,00.html

Jackman isn't signed for Apocalypse. He's doing Old Man Logan and then he's done.

It's possible that he makes a cameo but even that's unlikely at this point.

Munn is Psylocke, the other girl is Storm.

Maybe this is more to the hardcore fan's liking?http://cdn2.denofgeek.us/sites/denof...?itok=y4q4LumR

Set pics don't necessarily mean anything.

Chill.

That outfit just looks weird on her.

I agree. She should be nude.

Always nude.

:thumb:

So it looks like they're digitally altering her costume. Guess there's not much else you can do. She already admitted that the costume wasn't keeping her covered. It keeps shifting and flashing her crotch. Hell, on the 1st day of shooting she went gung ho on one of the takes and completely blew out the crotch, tearing the latex.

Truer words have never been spoken, my friend. Never. Ever. In the history of mankind.

Considering that they're all wearing the color purple in that shot, it's pretty clear that it's set in a "blue" environment, whether it's inside or outside.

If they were wearing blue, they'd be invisible.

Too many people throw hissy fits over things they don't understand.

I was about to comment it will be fixed in post production.

I was only talking about how they altered the cut around the crotch. Much wider in the set shot. Which is why I brought up he teasing the beaver on set to begin with.

My comment had nothing to do with color or post adjustments to it. Simply that they had to adjust the costume because her who-ha can't be contained, but in order to cover her it looks like granny panties. Thus altering the cut ex post facto.

Pretty much what i figured. Movies like these are all about the post production. The costumes they wear are basically just a placeholder.

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at people complaining about the color and the height of Apocalypse.

VFX.

I hope they up his size or something, because right now he looks like cosplayer.

It looks better, but I'm still not sold. It's like they misunderstood what the iconic elements of the comics design were, and maintained the things they could have (and probably should have) changed.

Also blue is an odd choice for his skin color, since he's always had grey skin in the comics and they already have three other blue mutants in this movie.

I think Google search autocomplete says it all.

I typed in " Apocalypse looks " and here's what comes up as the most searched phrases through Google.

What the **** is this? An opinion? You can't have one of these here, bro.

Nice one, SheVirus!

LMAO SheVirus? What the balls is that?

It appears to me that your estrogen level has been elevated as of late. You've been complaining quite a bit, so I figured that was appropriate.

:D

Just ****in' with you, Bro.

😆

It's July, man. The unbridled optimism has been getting under my skin lately.

Don't worry, it will be dampened soon enough

yup he needs to be a foot taller with the mouth thing
not liking this
