Looks like no Apocalypse evolution in the film, well at least not of the Apocalypse figure I posted earlier.

Ironhead Studios Dishes On Their Unused Design For The Titular Villain Of X-MEN: APOCALYPSE


Adam Savage's (Mythbusters) Tested, caught up with Ironhead Studios founder Jose Fernandez who gave his reaction to seeing the design for Apocalypse that 20th Century Fox and Bryan Singer picked over his concept. "What happened was I actually in the running for the job. Another company won out the bid, so as bummed as I was because I really wanted to showcase what I could do, I actually did almost every, I worked with a designer to do almost every other costume in the film, so I had my hands full, so I was like okay."

to be fair the Spidey conversations has pretty much been populated in the MCU thread

not to mention that not much new in regards to the solo film yet other than Civil War character involvements so yah no discussion to be had there

this thread was pretty lively just a couple of days ago though
 
so munn was orginally the one who was offered the girlfriend role in deadpool.

she def made the right choice with x men no matter how the movie does

have been the star of Pretty Woman. Ferris Buller could have been played by Johnny Depp. Often, these "almost roles" are lamented as missed opportunities. But for Olivia Munn, not appearing opposite Ryan Reynolds in this year's hit film Deadpool was a conscious decision about the kind of roles she wants to take on.
She explained in an interview with American Way Magazine that she didn't want to play "the girlfriend" in the action film (that part went instead to Morena Baccarin).
Her next role, as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse, is more of the action-based part she was looking for. But X-Men: Apocalypse isn't the first time Munn has gotten to act in a superhero film. She also had a small role in Iron Man 2. The desire to play a strong, competent character is what draws Munn to certain roles. She discussed this with those behind X-Men: "I thought Psylocke was always one of the most lethal characters," she told American Way, "and I said, 'Yes, as long as you’re not using her to be the eye candy. She has really powerful abilities.'"
X-Men: Apocalypse is scheduled to be released on May 27.
 
I thought she was considered Omega level?

And downside of not taking the Deadpool role is less naked Munn and there might be a good chance this is her only run as the character.

While I hope she and a couple would survive, this flops and they cleaning house.. And to be honest I only really really care about fassbender and Oscar Isaac

I wish munn and Sansa the best

Even if it does flop (it won't) being Psylocke > Wade's girlfriend. If she happens to kill it they might push for a Psylocke film.
 
No way this movie will flop. Fox movies performs consistently. Well, outside of FF lol. They're just not going to kill it at the box office like CW will. Probably will gross a little less than Deadpool, on par with DoFP.

yah X-films are consistent and Foxes expectations are lower

Apocalypse is also riding off of Deadpool too, I'm there will be some carryover audience

Which should be a clue to fox that the movies are underachieving.. Deadpool's success was the worst thing that could happen for singer

I could see ignoring MCU films success or spidey's movies.. But if an in house film, esepcially a non-wolverine film doing that well.. I can't see them ignoring it

I could see them overlooking it if a wolverine movie did those numbers
 
The part about fox's expectations being lower is true. But they really shouldn't have the bar set so low. They can really compete with marvel studios if they get their mind right. Wish they had some of DC's ambition.
DC is...a mess...but they got goals.

Hopefully Deadpool setting records on a baby budget shows fox what they can do if they really try, and also when they hand the keys over to someone who gives a flying **** about a character..

See I think audiences are smarter when it comes to 'comic' movies..

The mindless entertainment or news stations are quick to say the bubble has burst on these type of movies when certain movies fail.. When we all know that isn't true

Movie goers are beyond supporting crap movies just because they are finally getting part of their childhood up there





ThingS don't play out for BVS the way it did if they make a better movie.. Singer/xmen close enough to being in the same boat.. And I don't think audiences will connect the two, especially when the studios lack of faith was a running joke in the movie
 
Definitely smart of her to choose being Psylocke. She gets to participate in fight scenes and rock a pretty well known costume and popular look of a character. Even if the movie is absolute crap or her character isn't used right, there will still be images of her looking cool.
 
but the thing is many liked DoFP, I get it that you hate it and many here dislike it so you think it's going to flop but it was well received by the general public and they are going in Apocalypse with the mindset that they liked DoFP and Deadpool

to them supporting DoFP isn't supporting a crappy movie, majority liked the film

there are always exceptions though, of course
 
Really depends.. Reynolds made it out on the other side of wolverine origins

f4 had some good casting choices (guy who played doom, cap and Ben).. All of amazing Spider-Man's casting is gone even though they had some good fits

I guess we'll see

I don't hate it.. It's meh to me.. Extremely disappointing, but meh

Which is sad given what they have.. I don't think it's bad like BVS or transformers movies

A group all of singer's xmen movies with the Thor movies, first cap and MOS.. All just meh

X-2 and SM2 were the pinnacle of Marvel.. Superhero movies before the MCU. Still, only a few are better than them. I think the biggest flaw of Singer's are his films just don't stand the test of times. His crappy CGI and effects look like **** after a certain amount of time.

I think things started looking better with the Wolverine (Until the final act at least) and DOFP. DOFP may not be exactly how you wanted it to be but that movie was dope. The sentinels were straight terror. I've actually had a couple of nightmares about them attacking lol. Great acting.

FWIW What X-MEN films lack in story and effects, they make up for in acting. Besides RDJ and Hiddleston in their roles, I don't think I've ever said "man, that was some great acting" in a MCU film. Hayley Atwell has been great too. But we know someone here doesn't appreciate her greatness........

Blade 2 is a marvel movie and far better than x2, also made before it

Please name the overwhelming list of actors with great performances in the xmen movies







And there are a ton of special effects movies from before and shortly after x2 that have aged like the fine wine.. As I've said numerous times like the first transformers, I was happy to get something initially

Now I have better options.. I would love to get greatness from all of em, but that ain't happening.. So you produce a good product usually, I'll blind buy.. You produce crap, well I can wait and see


If you're a female, if there's an option other than the love interest, you take it.

How has that worked out for the people who played sue storm, Jennifer garner and Halle berry anytime?

How are you gonna say Blade 2 and not say Blade? The original was far better than the second. And sorry, but I will not put Blade 2 up there with X-2 and SM2.

Some people get in their feelings when X-MEN is said to have been the movie to start the clash of superheroes instead of Blade but it's the truth. Blade was way different than the superhero films that we see. Blade was rated r and Blade wasn't mainstream neither. X-MEN was the first mainstream superheroes to make the jump which is why it is called the first. The superheroes films of today weren't molded by Blade, but by X-MEN. X-MEN led to Spider-Man which led to Batman which led to Iron Man and then the MCU.

Overwhelming actors in X-MEN films?

Patrick Stewart
Ian Mckellen
Anna Pacquin
Kelsey Grammar
Bruce Davison
Kevin Bacon
January Jones
Liev Schrieber
Peter Dinklage
Ellen Page
Oscar Isaac
James McAvoy
Oscar Isaac
Hugh Jackman

That's the people who've had roles in X-MEN movies. That's hella acting chops. MCU doesn't have that. I don't even think it's an argument on who has better actors in their films. Fox's issue has never been the acting. It's just everything else
 
I said great performances.. Not actors

Natalie Portman is in Thor, that don't really mean much.. Was also in Star Wars prequels.. Also got Hopkins in the Thor movies along with Elba and Rene Russo

And haven't watched original blade in a while

And the names you listed are their best lol.

Scenes in a movie? That's easy. Any Mags and Charles scene has more acting in it than all of the MCU.

Charles aka Wheels rolling in his wheelchair has more acting than the MCU
