X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Is The Culmination of a Trilogy
The first trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse is rumored to be attached to Ridley Scott’s The Martian. While we wait for the first trailer to be released ,we have some words from producer Simon Kinberg regarding the film and how it fits win the rest of the franchise. This is what he told Collider in a recent interview:
"It delivers on the dramatic story and emotion of the last two movies. It feels like the culmination of the four main characters really — McAvoy, Fassbender, Nic Hoult, and Jen [Lawrence]. And it’s a bigger movie in both physical scale and I would say emotional stakes too because it is the culmination of this mini trilogy of stories."
After X-Men: Apocalypse is released, who knows what director Bryan Singer or 20th Century Fox have planned. You can expect the franchise to definitely keep rolling forward, though. I assume if this is the culmination of these four characters, the next set of films will focus on the younger generation of mutants such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, and more.
