The X-Men Cinematic Universe (General Discussion)

[DigificWriter]

Nothing in that article says anything about there not being a sequel to X-Men Apocalypse, nor is there anything in it that says that we're absolutely getting a New Mutants Trilogy.

The only thing that article tells us is that Josh Boone PITCHED New Mutants as a trilogy of stories and consequently has ideas in mind for 3 movies; it says nothing about whether or not he'll actually get to make all 3 of the films he's got story for.

 

[M.A.C.O.]

Considering most movies get trilogies nowadays (with some trilogies getting split into 4 parts), I imagine that's how it had to be pitched to the executives. Besides, Kinberg has said his Apocalypse sequel with be the Dark Phoenix Saga... again. This after he penned X3 and botched it there. Kinberg said he's currently writing a script with McAvoy, Fassbender and Lawrence in mind. Hoping that they'll return. Nothing has been made official and he's already messing up again. The Dark Phoenix Saga is about Jean and Scott.

Either way, shooting for the next X-Men film is set to begin in Spring 2017 in Montreal.

^ That's New Mutants though isn't it, not as in an X-Men movie with McAvoy and co.

First Class shifted focus, but never abandoned its roots, How do you explain Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn, and the extensive re-use of footage from the first X-Men?

I haven't seen First Class in probably a year or so, but I honestly cannot recall a single bit of re-used footage from the first movie.

The opening scene was a shot for shot remake of the opening of X-Men 1, with young Magneto losing his parents and first showing his powers.

Right, but that wasn't re-using footage from the first movie.

Right, but that wasn't re-using footage from the first movie.

Some of it very well could have been. When you see the very first shot, the angles of the background posts seems (along with every other angle of content in the frame) to match almost perfectly, as does the bending of the gate effect, and maybe a few other shots that don't show the new actors. I wish I had a way of showing them side by side here, though.

 

[Tosk]

Right, but that wasn't re-using footage from the first movie.

Yes it was. They only re-shot the bits that used the new actor for young Magneto. They even re-used Michael Kamen's score for the scene.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

Not that this will ever happen, but Jennifer Lawrence says she's willing to reprise Mystique... but in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie rather than an X-Men movie.

Vaughn was so meticulous as to get most of the same actors back, but it is not the actual footage from the first movie.

She was joking. Seriously. It's idiotic that people are treating an obvious joke as if it actually means something.

 

[Tosk]

Just a sampling. X-Men on the left, First Class on the right.

Granted, Vaughn and co. did a great job matching their new stuff to the old stuff. I previously undersold how much new footage there is. Any shot that showed Eric's face or those of his parents was re-shot.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

She was joking. Seriously. It's idiotic that people are treating an obvious joke as if it actually means something.

I was about 90% sure that Lawrence was joking about reprising Mystique in an MCU movie, but since I'd rather shove a fork in my head than watch MTV I could only go on reporting about her comments, and any joking tone she may have had wasn't conveyed in print.

 

[DigificWriter]

Even in the printed accounts of her comments, it's patently obvious that she was joking.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

I can't say that came across in the NME article I linked to.

 

[DigificWriter]

Then the writer(s) of that article used deceptive editing, which automatically discredits them.

FOX is working on an X-Men related show apparently set in the Cinematic Universe developed by Burn Notice creator, Matt Nix.

Not to be confused with Legion, which is not set in the cinematic universe.

Matt Nix said,
“Without getting into specifics that I’ll get murdered for, I would say that a fan of the movies — particularly the movies but also the comic books — would not be disoriented as to where this fits in the mythology. If you look at the movies that take place, they don’t all line up perfectly. So it’s not like I’m slavishly fitting myself into a particular slot [but] if you like that world and the world of the movies, there are definite nods to it, it definitely exists in the same general universe.”

 

[Turtletrekker]

The unnamed Matt Nix pilot will be directed by Bryan Singer.

New X-men movie will shoot this year, according to Sophie Turner. So that seems to put to rest any ideas about Fox giving up on the main x-men movies.

Upon recent reflection, I've come to the conclusion that Magneto is the true hero of the X-Men cinematic saga. I found his speech toward the end of DOFP to be quite moving and rousing. If I was a mutant being persecuted by homo sapiens for being different, I would also want to join him to "fight together in a brotherhood of our kind."

Am I right, or what?
