In The Godfather: Part II, Michael says to Connie, “The ink on your divorce isn’t dry yet, and you’re getting married?” I want to say something similar to Bryan Singer. The ink isn’t even dry on the X-Men: Days of Future Past script and you are already announcing X-Men: Apocalypse? Well, he just did. Today Singer tweeted, “#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016.”
Details are non-existent, obviously. However, comic book fans are speculating that it will be a loose adaptation of the Age of Apocalypse storyline. If so, it will have time travel, a villain named Apocalypse, alternate timelines, and the possible revival of Jean Grey and Cyclops.
So, for the comic book illiterate of us, this likely means more Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy, among other all-star cast members, which is nothing to complain about. I would prefer to think about one thing at a time, though and right now, X-Men: Days of Future Past is the only X-Men film I have room in my brain to anticipate.
