“X-Men: Apocalypse” is going to add a lot to the film side of the franchise, and it’s one of the clear signs of how massive the “X-Men” brand has become lately. There’s about a year left until it releases, and we’ve been regularly seeing various updates from the set that share small details about how the production has been going. It looks like it’s going to add an entire new layer of complexity to an already familiar formula, and we’re going to see various character coming back, while others will be introduced and some will be explored in even more detail than before.
Many fans have been particularly curious about the return of Magneto to the screen, and it’s been rumored that the character is not only going to be shown in all his glory, but we’re also going to learn various details about his backstory and personality as well. This is something that many people would apparently enjoy seeing, and the film is going to dig deep into what makes Magneto tick, if most of the rumors are to be believed.
And it sounds like for many fans, this is exactly what they wanted to see from another movie that features the iconic villain. A lot has been said about him in the comic books, but the film side of the X-Men universe has been a bit quieter about the character. Because of this, many fans seem convinced that it would do the X-Men cinematic universe a lot of good if more was said about Magneto in one of the future films.
Speaking of the comic books, a major source of worries for many fans seems to be the ability of the producers to stick to the original canon when making their films – this is an important point for many. Even though the films always tie their plots together nicely and make everything fit, it’s important to respect the roots of the franchise and ensure that fans who’ve been following the X-Men since the days of the comic books are left satisfied. Making even small changes to the general setup can often cause a lot of harm and ruin the impression that the film makes for fans, so the producers should be very careful.
The return of some mutants to the franchise has been a pleasant announcement for many, on the other hand. There are many characters that the films can explore which have been kept off the screen for some time, and this film could really refresh the franchise by bringing back some of the characters that have been missing for a while. Some of the more prominent names among the mutants have been confirmed to be coming back, and fans seem very excited about the overall setup of the cast as a whole. Of course, there could be more surprises coming that haven’t been announced yet, but we have no idea what the producers are planning for this installment in full details.
One thing is for sure though – this film is going to be an amazing entry into the “X-Men” series and it’s going to add a lot to the cinematic universe, especially in the way of elements that fans have wanted to see for a while. It’s important to keep exploring the cinematic universe of the X-Men as deeply as possible instead of sticking to the same concepts for multiple films, because there is a lot of potential to be explored in those films and the producers must prevent the films from getting too stale.
