Well, they could just put Idris Elba as Mr Sinister in a single-scene post-credits stinger in Apocalypse teasing for the next movie, where he gets to be the 'main' villain.

Credits end, shows misc footage of Jean Grey, then footage of Cyclops. Screen pans out to show a shadowed figure watching the footage.
 
It's definitely a Singer design, look at all that black leather.

Although it's possible there's some purpler on the front? Ah, who am I kidding...
 
I feel conflicted because I want Wolverine to be
one of the four horsemen
, but I also don't want Jackman's last stint in the role
to be as a villain...
 
I wonder how Stinger is going to shit all over Cyclops in this movie? He'll probably have Wolverine time travel again so he can have sex with Scott's mother in front of him.
 
Singer is a mark for both Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. It's weird that he hasn't even tried to get these fuckers into outer space yet. It's right there. Days of Future Past is giving you carte blanche to be weird if you want. Get weird. Stick em in outer-space with Scott's swinger dad and Xavier's weird birdlady girlfriend.

Now you're talking. Though, in this X-verse I think Havok rather than Corsair is apparently Scott's father? Maybe Alex could be the much older brother to Scott in the FC/DoFP timeline and Chris is still father to both of them? I have no idea.

Are we setting up an X-Force movie? Deadpool, Wolverine, Fantomex, Archangel, Psylocke, kicking ass and taking no names at all.

I want this so bad, but I have this stinking feeling they want to to the other team. So, Cable, Domino, etc.

They have to be brothers. DOFP was in the 70s and this is in the 80s; Alex has ten years on Scott at best.

But yeah, on the age thing, I'm pretty sure it's just that the timeline being toyed with means certain couples met much earlier and the kids were convinced earlier. I still kinda hope throw Dazzler in the mix given the setting.

This is an intensely annoying attitude. First, because Marvel Studios is by no means a paragon of quality. Second, because X2 and First Class are both much better than X1, and better than anything MAHVEL BAYBEE has shat out.*

*Sole exception remains The Avengers.

those 3 are all better than The Avengers

As far as I can tell there's as large as a 20-year difference between Alex and Scott's ages in the movies. FC took place in 1962, and DoFP took place in 1973. Apocalypse will be roughly 10 years after DoFP, so that puts about twenty years between FC and Apocalypse. IIRC Alex was in his late teens in FC, while an 18-year-old actor has been cast as Scott for Apocalypse. It's quite possible that in the film universe Alex will be Scott's father.

I don't care either way, but right now I don't see any reason to rule out the father-son angle. It would certainly be a bold move

Oh right, my mistake. I forgot all about Havok being in FC, hahaha!

The 1980s have transformed into a steampunk future?

Or steampunk past. Look at the female vendor on the bottom floor. Reminds me of those cigarette girls from the 1920s or so that you see in clubs. Steampunk 1980s with a mixture of early 20th Century style, as well as the melange of 1950s, 1960s and 1970s style(which, admittedly, the 80s kinda did with certain trends and retro-music love), this movie looks like it might be a spiritual successor to Streets of Fire! That would make this a TOTALLY 80s MOVIE!!!
 
Archangel was my fav character from the cartoon. Excited to see this story play out (and not in the bullshit Last Stand way) on the big screen.

Having an X-Force movie with him, Deadpool, Psylocke, etc would be even better!
 
Somebody said Psylock ?

Bryan Singer Confirms Lucas Till Will Return as Havok for X-Men: Apocalypse

Director Bryan Singer has taken to Twitter to reveal that X-Men: First Class and “Days of Future Past” star Lucas Till is set to return as Havoc for the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. An interesting point to note is that Till will share the screen with Tye Sheridan, who plays the young Cyclops in the film, marking the first time the two brother characters have appeared in the same film in the franchise’s history. Given the age difference in the two, however, it’s possible they may not be related as they are in the source material.

Rewatched DofP for the first time since the theater today.

I actually enjoyed it even more this time around. Kinberg's script actually wasn't quite as bad as I remembered either. Some good stuff in there.
Excited for Apocalypse. Think it'll be best superhero-flick next year.
 
Oscar Isaac talks Apocalypse:

"Without giving anything away, the recruitment of the Four Horsemen is very cool," the actor enthused. "It's very interesting the way that he does that. You know the idea of - the way that cult leaders do - they find people that are in need of something and try to fulfill that thing in them - as it relates to every one of the Horseman."

When asked what this character would be revealing Isaac replied, "On an individual level he's able to reveal the true power of his Horsemen and what's true to them. And I think to reveal the weakness - how weak we've become. Because this is an ancient entity. So to come to - I think 1983 - and say, 'How did the world become so weak? How did we allow ourselves to become to weak and to enslave ourselves.' I think that's where he's coming from."

no doubt, the music was great. displays of power were entertaining and i enjoyed mcavoy's xavier most of all. plus after enduring the shit of wolverine origins and x3 that ending was so good. seeing wolverine walk around the school was :phew

oscar isaac interview sounding interesting, i'm glad he seems to be taking the character seriously and likely will give him some depth.

Funny, I did the same thing the other day. I was worried that the film wouldn't hold up as well on the second viewing, but I liked it even more.

As compared to how awful J-Law has been this series.

I didn't want to make an LTTP thread, but I saw Days of Future Past for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it. There were some really great setpieces, music was incredible, and Fassbender and McAvoy were really strong, McAvoy more so.

Movie belongs to Quicksilver, though. He stole every scene he was in and I hated that he was such a minor character. I hope they up his screen time for Apocalypse. The time travel element was a bit difficult to follow at first, especially because it negated a lot of the whole "Butterfly effect" problems associated with time travel. I mean, Logan, Xavier, and McCoy could fuck as much shit up as they wanted as long as they stopped Raven from doing whatever. That's pretty simple time travel.
