The upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” is shaping up to be a bit of an emotional installment, definitely on a higher tone than previous entries in the franchise. That’s definitely something that could bring a fresh new angle to the “X-Men” universe and could even set a new trend for future films, making them more geared towards people who like an emotional viewing experience. At the same time, recent reports indicate that this mood is not just something fake going on in front of the audience, but it’s valid behind the scenes as well.
Bryan Singer, who is responsible for directing the film, talked about a special touching moment that him and the rest of the crew shared with Michael Fassbender recently, where Fassbender did something that moved everyone on the set deeply. We don’t know exactly what happened, but according to Singer, there were tears and a lot of emotion, and everyone was happy about what had happened.
And after that, Fassbender had to repeat his delivery for that scene and he apparently did it with the same excellence and level of professionalism as before, leaving everyone stunned and pleasantly surprised by his performance. It’s no secret that there is a lot of strong chemistry on that set, and hearing reports like this one is always inspiring to those who have been following the production of the film for a long time.
There is still some time to go before the film is released, and it will take a while until we have more specific details about it too. But in any case, the wait will most likely be worth it. The “X-Men” franchise has been going very strong lately, and this film could further drive its success and popularity up. The producers only need to be careful to avoid alienating long-term fans of their favorite characters, and other than that this film looks like it has everything needed for its success in the bag.
Of course, they will also need to put quite a bit of effort into its marketing to get the effect right completely, but that will come in due time. The hype that surrounds the production right now is definitely more than enough to get things running smoothly, and there is a lot of attention focused on “X-Men: Apocalypse” which makes it very likely that the final film isn’t even going to need a lot of advertising in order to get the kind of exposure it needs.
Meanwhile, some additional details about the plot have made their way to the public, although a lot about the film is still being kept under wraps, as can be expected. It would be interesting to see how the story plays out with regards to Magneto’s desire and attempts to take over the world, and the topic could be given a fresh new look by the producers if they do it right in this film. There is definitely a lot of attention focused on the potential implications of the plot, and the film can easily enjoy a great amount of discussion by fans if it gets these themes right.
In somewhat related news, the film franchise is now related to the M&M brand of candy, as part of a promotional campaign for both products. A special hashtag was even started for the occasion, and fans have been having fun on Twitter talking about the situation and sharing their opinions on the new film as well.
