    They also overpowered Apocalypse right off the bat.
    I'm wondering if there will at least be a 10 minute prologue for Apocalypse's origin.

    One can hope at least.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I mean, they could TRY and do all the Stryfe, Four Horseman, Cable, and whatnot. But that seems too confusing for a 2 hour movie

    Nightcrawler looks great.

    Honestly I've never been a fan of the blue skin look in any of the movies - I think Mystique looks too much like a person covered in gobs and gobs of make up. Due mostly to it being an awful shade of blue that was chosen for the first movie, and they kept with it for consistency's sake.

    Movies or comics, I never really understood why a shapeshifting mutant would roll out in their blue skin anyways.

    I thought they covered that pretty well in First Class - to be in a shape other than her natural blue, constant concentration and effort are required.

    She can't possibly relax or be comfortable if she is in another form.

    Plus there was that whole, "embrace who you are" motto that Eric was trying to teach her in First Class. It's why she ended up befriending him in the first place.

    Yeah, it's more what duke said, really, which is the whole thing about her character. She can easily pass for normal and make life a lot easier for herself, but why should she?

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Thematically yes. The X-Men movies wear their gay equality message on their sleeves.

    But they do go out of their way to make it clear that even though she wants to appear normal it's not easy for her. There was a whole scene dedicated to showing how stress makes her start messing up and losing control.

    Looks like they may be going this route. Concept art. Not sure I like that Angel take.

    The modern-day end where you realize everything that happened between the 60s-to-now ultimately worked out okay for everyone, and the world didn't end at the hands of Apocalypse in the 80s.
    So a chance to re-do the Dark Phoenix saga would be out of the question?

    Wolverine 3 will be the last time Jackman plays Wolverine.

    "This will be my last one. It is my last time, It just felt like it was the right time to do it. And let’s be honest, 17 years. I never thought in a million years it would last, so I'm so grateful to the fans for the opportunity of playing it. I kind of have in my head what we’re going to do in this last one. It just feels like this is the perfect way to go out."

    When they recast him, they could avoid the obvious comparisons by casting someone closer to Logan's physique in the comics. Someone in the Bob Hoskins type.
