X-Men films: where do we go from here?

[Relayer1]

I think they'll just do whatever serves the current movie plans. If they want certain characters they'll either already be at the school (with no explanation of how they got there) or they will be introduced during the movie. They only have to adhere to the continuity featured briefly at the very end of DOFP - anything else is immaterial.

It may come out that 'something similar' to the events of the other movies happened, but probably not - why complicate things for themselves ?

 

[Enterprise1701]

DOFP retconned everything that happended after 1973.

XMO - Happens in 1979
X-Men - Happens in 2005 (according to Singer)
X2 and X3 - Happen in 2006
The Wolverine - Happens in 2013
The Apocalyptic Future of DOFP - Happens in 2023.

All of the above have been retconned from existence. The only X-Men movie that could possibly still have happened is X1 since Rogue has her white streak of hair in the brief scene we see her in the Happy Future of 2023.

So the new timeline is thus:

X-Men First Class 1962
The 1973 timeline w/ the Mystique not killing Trask version of DOFP
Apocalypse which will be set in the 80's
Some version of X1 different or the same as the one from the original timeline
Happy Future of 2023 DOFP.

But consider that some of the events came about due to outside influences.

X3-- Worthington Industries still may have created the mutant cure, which may have caused Magneto to still attack Alcatraz. Without the events of X2 f'ing up Jean, the X-Men would have had a full complement to take down Magneto.

The Wolverine-- Logan's WW2 history is still intact, so therefore Yashida would still have sought out Logan when he was dying, thus intiiating the same chain of events. Logan may not have been a hermit in the Canadian wilderness, but otherwise...

I agree. Yes, the producers can pretty much throw out as much or as little of everything besides First Class and Days of Future Past, but X1 does not deserve that much more "still happened" than X2 and X3. After all, Wolverine is supposed to show up in X-Men: Apocalypse, which will presumably significantly alter the 1979 portions of Origins and therefore Wolverine meeting the X-men in X1. Meanwhile, well, Stryker's got to trouble the X-Men somehow in some X2 fashion, right? It's Stryker.

I have actually heard the same thing. Maybe it was in the script, but not in the dialogue? I've also heard that the man in the bed is actually played by Stewart, but my own observations on that have been inconclusive. Anyone have a big screen and X3 on Blu-Ray?

Seems like it will be X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool, Gambit, and possibly X-Force down the line.

X-Men / FF crossover ?

Unfortunately not, according to Fantastic Four's screenwriter. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Don-t-Expect-See-X-Men-Fantastic-Four-Reboot-42979.html

I'd rather not see a crossover of any kind from either of the franchises just yet anyways. There's a lot of stories left to tell.

 

[USS Firefly]

I agree, x-men don't need a crossover with FF

 

[Beagleman]

I definitely prefer movie X-Men in their own seperate universe.

As the article says, the continuity has reset since then.

Where there's a $ to be made...

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

I'm not much interested in another one-off solo outing, especially if Yukio isn't tagging along for pretty much all of it.

This! So this!
