‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel Titled ‘Days of Future Past’?
http://screenrant.com/x-men-first-cl...t-kofi-177114/
There is word circulating that 20th Century Fox has reached out to the MPAA to secure a title for the studio’s forthcoming sequel to X-Men: First Class - and if reported accurately, that title is going to send a tidal wave of geek freak-outs across the Interwebs. The title in question is “Days of Future Past” – which remains one of the most famous and celebrated X-Men storylines of all time. More interestingly, however: “Days of Future Past” was also a X-Men story that dealt with time travel and multiple timelines – meaning that director Matthew Vaughn and Fox could be (finally) trying to organize the convoluted continuity of the X-Men film franchise, using a tactic similar to what J.J. Abrams did with his Star Trek reboot. Here is the quote from AICN reporter “The Kidd,” which first kicked off this rumor: One of my little birds Weapon X recently dropped me some information that 20th Century Fox had recently registered the title DAYS OF FUTURE PAST with the MPAA Title Registration Bureau. The Bureau exists for studios and productions companies to stake their claims on certain titles that they intend to release and distribute, so that others can stray from using a similar title. The title “Days of Future Past” is taken from the two-issue Uncanny X-Men comic book storyline written in 1981 by legendary X-Men writer/artist team Chris Claremont and John Byrne. In the story, the X-Men are trying to stop the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (led by Mystique) from killing an anti-mutant political figure named Senator Robert Kelly. This pivotal event creates a separate timeline in which the X-Men fail to stop the Kelly assassination, and as a result, mutants are hunted, imprisoned and exterminated by humanity. One X-Man from that future dystopia manages to travel back in time and warn the present day X-Men, who ultimately stop the assassination (though the two timelines both remain in existence). The X-Men Battle Sentinels in 'Days of Future Past' Given where X-Men: First Class left things, it’s easy to see how “Days of Future Past” could be reconfigured to focus on Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and his Brotherhood going after a key political figure, and the X-Men team being visited by a dimension-hopping mutant to be forewarned of what happens if they don’t stop the assassins. “Days of Future Past” also had the mutant-killing Sentinel robots, an older version of Wolverine, etc. – all of which would be awesome to see onscreen (not to mention a Terminator-style future dystopia). A “DoFP” plot could also open the door for the franchise to introduce time-hopping X-Men like Bishop or Cable to the mix. In terms of the movies: “Days of Future Past” would give Vaughn and company a way to end all this continuity madness once and for all. If time travel and alternate timelines are successfully introduced into the X-Men movie universe, then that would be a perfect explanation for why the original X-Men trilogy (and Wolverine) have plot points that contradict First Class, while allowing all of the films to remain valid (unlike the ‘forget the past’ approach of the Spider-Man movie reboot). “Days of Future Past” is an awesome story on its own – and I for one would welcome anything that could straighten out the movie continuity in satisfactory fashion. First Class was tormented all through development for not being a clear prequel OR reboot, but instead some weird amalgamation of both. I think a lot of X-Men fans would agree with the sentiment that it’s time to clean house. J.J. Abrams successfully cleared away decades of Star Trek continuity when he spun-off a new timeline for his 2009 reboot, which allowed him the freedom to tell his own stories using familiar characters. Finally, introducing alternate timelines would give Fox many new options for how they approach their other upcoming X-Men films: including already-in-production sequel The Wolverine, and the already-planned X-Men 4. In fact, “First Class Continuity (FCC)” and/or “Original Trilogy Continuity (OTC)” could be terms we all start throwing around pretty soon. Comic book geekery at its best. X-Men: Days of Future Past - if that is indeed the title – will be in theaters on July 18th, 2014. Header Image by Deviant Art User “Wobblyone“. Source: AICN |

Such a terrible part in that movie. Storm was meh in the Xmen movies, but not as bad as Cyclops. GOD that pissed me off how they made him a bitch for three whole movies then just kill him off along with Professor X... just horrible.

heh, It felt like Cyclops only had about 15 minutes of screen time between the 3 movies.

Wow, for real?
----- http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/03/...st-apocalypse/ Now, speaking with Bleeding Cool, filmmaker Bryan Singer was asked if the villain Apocalypse would make an appearance. He responded: "I can't tell you…" Asked if realising the character of Apocalypse would require performance capture, a reportedly nervous Singer said: "This is how it gets started, when somebody starts piecing the little bits together…" In the comics Apocalypse is said to be the first mutant in history, born five millennium ago on another planet, and shows up throughout several periods in history. Could this be the character Peter Dinklage is portraying? ---- I've never read the comics but personally, I hate this kind of shit. It's what ruined "Highlander" and now it's going to ruin X-Men. ****. |

Yeah, time travel and immortality would just kill such a reality-bound concept like x-men.

As a kid I always loved Apocalypse. If he appears in this or is hinted about in this I imagine it will be to set up a future Avengers style film where everybody from the X-men cannon that can be exploited for cash come out to play.
edit: BTW it has always bothered me that his belt thingy as a huge "A" on it... being that he is from ancient egypt and all.

My question is, if Dinklage is playing him, then how small will they have to make Darkseid, so he can live inside of him.

I am ignoring the humor here and just going to say they will use that motion capture camera shit they used for avatar. Maybe they are going to set up Horsemen of Apocalypse??

I would love to see Apocalypse.. Unfortunately Michael Clarke Duncan died.. Would of been my casting choice.. It would be hard to pull on Apocalypse, I would want him live action and not CGI fully..
Again.. My plot for the stories if it were not Futures Past.. Xmen 4: Dawn of the Sentinels: Jean wakes up, the lake ****ed her up pretty good.. Prof X has been battlign the Phoenix inside of her. While she was out she was melding dream and current events in the real world.. Scott never died.. What did happen was Magneto getting freed from prison and the attacks on mankind. The antimutagen was still being devoloped by Angels dad and mutants who wanted the serum could take it. Rogue left to take it so she can bang iceman. With the added defiance of mutants not wanted to be forced to take the serum and Magnetos attacks. Congress initials the Sentinel Program. They start laying waste of innocent and guilty mutants equally. Xmen need to splinter into two groups, One group to shut down the sentinals and the other to talk to Magneto to stop. (cause xavier is still a sentimental bitch)(also, xavier is still the biggest villian in marvel history that know ones knows about.) Half way through the movie, rogue and angel of xmen vanish, and juggernaut and pyro of Magneto's crew. The xmen do not know about rogue vanishing, Angel is lost in battle. Sentinels, start to go haywire and attack humans also. Xmen regroup from their blue and gold groups to attack the Sentinel main base and its leader. As they are attacking, magneto joins in and a three way battle ensues. Eventually tide turns in the favor of the Sentinels.. They are wavering until a unseen force comes in and demolishes the Sentinel army quickly. The four horsemen have arrived, and beckoned the world to kneel before their demise under their ruler Apocalypse. movie ends, my plan with story would be just at 3hours, and extended dvd of 4 or more hours for the fan boys.

xmen 5: Apocalypse:
Xmen and Magneto realize who the horseman are in horror and retreat. Thanks to some new mutants that they had join in the previous movie they teleport out with blink and nightcrawler. Sentinel leader retreats and starts rebuilding. xmen and magento go into hiding. Magneto to asteroid M, and Xmen to Genoisha. The US, Mexico and Canada have been taken over by Apocalypse in a few months. New mutants of Bishop and Cable have given a plan on stopping Apocalypse. Info is relayed to Magneto, Take out Apocalypse lieutenants, while a stealth force goes against Apocalypse. Add some replaceable mutants that can be sacrificed during the battles. Summers and Cable go after Mr. Sinister to break the grasp on the horseman mind control. war: Juggernauth Death: Angel Famine: pyro Pestilence: Rogue Just my opinion.. |
