No, no. I understand It most likely is a prequel that is canon to W:XO thru X3. Just me being a "fanboy," wanting a fresh take. That is all. Which that term in itself has somehow become derogitory. Let's face it, we're all "fanboys" in some form or another. How it became and is used as supposed insult is another story altogether.
But yeah. New director. New cast. New story set in a previous time. Might as well right? But oh well.
Like if this was my story with a slight reboot (and forgive me if I'm rambling), yet still adhering to the premise we've been given so far, I would still set this first film about the fallout of Charles and Erik with the end result still continuing their rivalry through out this whole series, like it has been, but at the end of the first film, I would also introduce a new threat on top of Magneto and The Brotherhood, like say The Hellfire Club and their obsession in acquiring the Phoenix Force (similar to what we saw in Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon.) That would be the premise for the 2nd movie. This somewhat already being a predominantly european cast, could even set some of the movie in the UK as well. Bring in characters for example like Sebastian Shaw, Selene, Stepford Cuckoos, Black Tom Cassidy, Banshee, some members of Excalibur, like Brian and Betsy Braddock, Meggan, etc. Again, characters that never really see the light of day in the X films (understandably so, since there's only been 4 of them.)
I'd essentially have Mr. Sinister be the main villain for the third movie as he has been the one pulling the strings orchestrating everything behind the scenes regarding the fallout of Charles and Erik with their takes on mutants and humans, the power struggle over the Phoenix Force, etc. All this without the character of Wolverine. But yeah. I don't know. It needs a lot more fleshing out, but you guys catch my drift right? Again, apologize if this post sounds like incoherent drivel.
