Simon Kinberg spoke with Collider to discuss 'Apocalypse'. The producer revealed that in the upcoming film will continue to explore the relationship between Beast/Hank McCoy and Mystique:
"... I think that the friendship between Erik and Charles, which has always been so integral to the franchise, is something we're continuing to explore and hopefully deepen with Apocalypse. And the relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn't have a lot of time to explore in Days of Future Past, so we'll have an opportunity to do more of that in Apocalypse."
Kinberg has also revealed that the Four Horsemen, Apocalypse's brothers at arms are mutants Archangel, Exodus, Holocaust, and Selene.
The writer took to his Twitter and posted a message: "#Xmen #Apocalypse2016"
"I would say in terms of making any character decisions on 'Apocalypse' is, we set back the clock on 'Days of Future Past,' so a lot could have changed from that point in 1973 forward, meaning people could have been born earlier," Kinberg told MTV in a recent interview.
Archangel, who was played by Ben Foster in "X Men: The Last" is rumored to reprise the role in the new movie.
James McAvoy shed light on the future of his Character, in an interview with Huffpost Live. The "Wanted" actor didn't want to go into details in the forthcoming 'Apocalypse' movie:
"It seems fairly global, if we're talking 'Apocalypse.' Maybe it's just the character's name, but I think the nature of the movie is going to be fairly apocalyptic as well."
He also said that he might finally portray a Professor X sans the hair:
"I have no idea what's going on. I think I'm losing my hair finally... and yeah, that's kind of all I know."
Oscar Isaac has landed a major role in the upcoming movie, playing the role of the X Men's greatest enemy, Apocalypse. The actor, 35, has been steadily enjoying Hollywood success, with "A Most Violent Year" and landing another major gig in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
The X Men Apocalypse Movie will launch in May of 2016.
