Many people are expecting the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” to have some strong implications for the franchise, and it’s no wonder that the producers have decided to keep it as one of the final installments in the “X-Men” film universe, as it’s rumored that it’s going to feature some very dramatic developments. It could possibly have certain moments that will shock fans and make them rethink everything they’ve seen in the films so far, but the exact details of how this will be done remain somewhat sketchy and unconfirmed.
In any case, we’ve recently seen an interview with Evan Peters who talked a bit about Quicksilver, the character he’s representing, and he revealed a few details about what fans might expect from him specifically. What he said hinted at a more emotional development of the plot, somewhat stronger than what we’re used to seeing in these films, and there might be some touching moments coming up in “Apocalypse” that may be a bit out of style for the franchise, but definitely something that fans should love.
Quicksilver is going to be on a search for his father in the new film, and this will be a main part of the plot, according to Peters. This might be taken one step further by the writers as they will likely want to explore some of the more interesting sides of the character’s personality, and it’s rumored that they might make some changes to his background in order to make him more intuitive for portrayal on the screen. That could include an alteration of the backstory with his father, but we’re not sure what the writers/producers might decide to do in this regard and how far they’re willing to take their changes to the character.
There are also some rumors that Quicksilver is going to have a more dubious position in the new film and his role as a force of good could be put under question at some points. Apparently, this could also lead to some conflicts with his father, and it would be interesting to see how the writers are going to resolve this disagreement between the characters. This could play into the rumors we mentioned above, the ones claiming that the backstory of the character could be altered a bit with regards to his relationship with his father, but we’ll have to wait until “Apocalypse” is out to see what the writers have done with the story.
Magneto is already an established character even in the film side of the franchise, and it’s interesting to see if the producers are willing to change his character in any significant way right now after so much has already been set up about him. It’s possible that they are also planning some major plot twist that will change his personality in some way, but that would be a bit of a hasty way to handle the plot and not something we would expect from this film.
There are many questions that the fans of “X-Men” have about the upcoming “Apocalypse”, and there is still some time to go before they can be answered. The film’s release date is already scheduled for May 2016 and that leaves plenty of time for speculation and discussions about its plot details. We expect that fans will get even more active in talking about the possible new developments as May approaches, and the months leading up to the film’s release should see various curious theories circulating around the Internet.
