I know, this one seems a bit out there. What's the liklihood that Kinberg and Singer would have an Apocalypse movie lead into an Apocalypse movie? But hear me out for a second...
So, looking at some of the rumors floating around out there, there is this one:
http://ift.tt/1HNw7XW
Which talks about how, supposedly, Ian McKellan's Magneto, Halle Berry's Storm and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine will be in the X-Men Apocalypse movie. Maybe some, if not all of these will end up being just cameos, but honestly, other than Wolverine, I don't think anyone was expecting to see McKellan or Berry in this story.
So, this rumor got me thinking. Why only these three? Sure, the rumor also includes a Gambit cameo, but I was expecting that, but the main issue here is the use of some OT cast.
Knowing that this story is likely to be focused on McAvoy's Professor X, Lawrence's Mystique and Fassbender's Magneto (and I guess Hoult's Beast) resolving their relationships, or whatever, I was very surprised by this possibility.
So, why would they include these OT cast members?
What storyline would work for just these OT cast members?
Maybe in the end other OT cast members will be worked into the story, but for now I'm basing this discussion on the rumor of Berry, McKellan and Jackman making an appearance.
So, the fact that this will be Berry's Storm and Fassbender's Magneto almost automatically means a scene from the future (from the point of view of 1983). This scene could end up being anytime between say 2000 and 2030, based on the ages of the actor/actress in question.
So again, why would they have a "future" scene with just Magneto, Storm and possibly Wolverine?
And this got me thinking of one of my favorite animated series stories, "One Man's Worth!".
In this story Wolverine (actually, Weapon X) is not in love with Jean Grey, which is refreshing since in many ways that's been done every which way from Sunday at this point. But instead, he's married to Storm. And this is a future, dystopian Apocalypse controlled world.
In this Age of Apocalypse inspired story, Charles, in the past, was killed off (I believe it was by Fitzroy), which caused a change to the timeline and allowed Apocalypse to come into power.
The story started with a scene where Wolverine and his wife, Storm, were running through this dystopian Apocalypse controlled world trying to reach "the Leader", who turned out to be Magneto.
Now I know it's really hard to believe that they would go from an Apocalypse movie to another Apocalypse movie, but here are some things to think about...
- They could change it so the villain isn't necessarily Apocalypse, but instead someone like Nimrod, or maybe just Fitzroy, or Selene.
- Or maybe this upcoming Apocalypse movie will focus more on the Horseman (Archangel) and lead into a future Apocalypse movie.
- It could introduce some new characters, including Selene (involved with Fitzroy in the story), Shard and Forge:
- It's a good story that could give the OT cast one last hurrah! It would also allow for the re-use of Bishop, Warpath and Blink.
- We've never seen Storm with a true mohawk!
- Seeing Wolverine in love with someone other than Jean could be interesting.
- It could be focused on Wolverine's relationship, making it a possible Wolverine 3 story.
- Some of the OT cast are aging out, so timing is crucial, meaning, it's either now or never!
- It could mean that at the end of this Apocalypse movie McAvoy's Charles sacrifices himself to prevent something, like the death of Fassbender's Eric, which then leads to this story. That would be a very interesting way to end this movie!
I know this concept is farfetched, I mean, it's not like Singer has ever thought about having Hugh's Wolverine and Berry's Storm in a relationship:
Again, this is one of the only stories that I can think of where the main characters would match McKellan, Berry and Jackman.
Or are there other stories that would use an older Wolverine, Magneto and Storm that I'm not thinking of. Let's keep it respectful, but are there any other pro points that I didn't list, and what would be the cons of them doing this?
