Director(?) Bryan Singer Talks X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

Since Bryan Singer announced X-Men: Apocalypse via Twitter late last year, there have been several rumors surrounding the Days of Future Past follow-up. However, besides the fact that Apocalypse won't just be an alien in the 2016 adaptation, there has been nothing really concrete; not even the credible reports that Singer is returning to direct. “I’m co-writing the story and I’m producing it,” he told Entertainment Weekly recently. “I’m negotiating to direct. We’re in the process. We’re trying to figure it out, schedules. My desire would be to direct it.” Basically, he's directing.

The most persistent rumor for X-Men: Apocalypse is that it will be set up in the final moments of Days of Future Past, but Bryan Singer suggests that, too, isn't final. “I’m still deciding that,” he says. “Something that happens in this movie causes what’s going to happen in that movie.” Without revealing any major plot points, Singer does hint that Apocalypse will “address historical mutant-cy, meaning the deep past, mutant origins and things like that. It’s something that’s always intrigued me when we think about our Gods and our history and miracles and powers.”



After X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23, 2014, X-Men: Apocalypse will hit on May 26, 2016

I didn't expect a franchise like this to go back to the roots of the mutants. Days of Future Past looks like a good look, and hopefully it and this WILL a good look.

I wonder if they'll go as far back to The Celestials.

I hope X-Force and/or X-Factor is next after Apocalypse completes this prequel trilogy.

@mexicansuperman I'm still worried about how they can pull off DOFP without it collapsing on itself

Despite First Class and the Wolverine being totally badass and me being sure that Days of Future Past will blow doors on everyone I wish Marvel had the rights. Sam reason I want the FF rights to be transferred away from FOX in a couple months

Pretty sure the Celestials are at Marvel Studios. Who knows, they might be one of the grey areas.

LOL, so starting now, he isn't allowed to talk about the sequel until DOFP is in theaters.

I guess people on a comicbook movie site, DON'T WANT NEWS....

I used to respect Singer a lot waaaaaaaay back in the day....
but in recent years he acts more and more like the youngest child in the family that yells, screams, and breaks things just for attention's sake. (shakes head)

Every time Marvel releases news/info....
he does the same thing via the "lazy man's way" of "tweeting" something.... anything.

It just screams out load, "Look at what I did today! I'm relevant! Look at me!!"

All the while he takes himself too seriously...
and not the core material at his disposal all these years. :-/

@ Berserk

Fox can't use The Celestials. Marvel owns them. They will proably pop up in Guardians of the Galaxy. The closes thing to the Celestials that Fox owns is Galactus.

Your comment... WTF.

"but in recent years he acts more and more like the youngest child in the family that yells, screams, and breaks things just for attention's sake. (shakes head)"

What? What are you trying to get at when you say that?

"Every time Marvel releases news/info....
he does the same thing via the "lazy man's way" of "tweeting" something.... anything."


Again, it's funny how YOU, on a comic book movie site that deliverers news... Is mad that you're getting news.

It just screams out load, "Look at what I did today! I'm relevant! Look at me!!...All the while he takes himself too seriously...
and not the core material at his disposal all these years. :-/"


Hmmm...

And let the garbage begin... I cannot wait to see this fiasco play out. Singer and Fox are just scrambling to keep the X-men name... What a bunch of idiots. People stop paying to see Singer and company's Crap fest

MrCBM56 - 1/7/2014, 3:12 PM
If an article was posted right now, with Joss Whedon talking about Avengers 3, half of you would leap in joy. STFU and be happy you're getting news.

@MrCBM, this is a typical Marvel Zombie bitching about nothing. If 5 movies studios released a trailer on the same day Fox and Bryan Singer would be the only ones taking shit for it.

@ MrCBM56 & CaptainAmerica

You may be right to a degree but you can't really deny that Stinger is just trying to piggy back Marvel’s Hype. I mean it’s just so blatant.
