The Next X-MEN Film Confirmed To Be Set in The 1990s
With X-Men: First Class taking place in the 1960s, X-Men: Days of Future Past primarily taking place in the 1970s, and X-Men: Apocalypse being set in the 1980s, it was only safe to assume that the X-Men film after that would take place in the 1990s. Well, writer/producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed that in an interview with ComingSoon:
“The next one is set in the ’90s."
It's not specified whether this will be Bryan Singer's next X-Men film or Josh Boone's New Mutants movie. Who knows, maybe it will be both! I spent my teenage years in the '90s reading X-Men comics that featured that art of Jim Lee. There are so many great X-Men comics to come out of that era. On top of that, there was the fan-favorite animated series.
I freakin' loved the early '90s and I'm excited to see that era represented in film again —especially an X-Men film! It looks like they are going to get the style of the '80s right with Apocalypse, and it'll be fun to see how they play with the '90s.
