James McAvoy will undoubtedly be on to talk about X Men: Apocalyse where he is the young (and now properly bald) Professor X to Patrick Stewart’s older original.

I have mixed feelings about the X Men, I’m passingly familiar with the comic and I’ll agree that some of the movies are just awful (X2 anyone?) but others that people really hate like Wolverine don’t strike me as being all that bad. Maybe as a non-Fan I simply don’t understand how they represent a complete character betrayal. It’s mildly amusing to me that I didn’t get that Quicksilver in Age of Ultron is supposed to be the Quicksilver in Days of Future Past they didn’t seem at all the same. I though his slow-mo scenes in the X-Men version were quirky and amusing, his Avenger incarnation was simply an asshole for most of the film and then a tragic casualty. No, I didn’t see that coming, I was sure it would be Hawkeye, he had all the red shirt cliches working for him- last mission, nice family with another on the way, big plans for a quiet future on a farm.

Well, surprise.

Evidently Apocalypse will be a reprise of Days for Quicksilver (who still lives in his Mother’s basement) though I understand Cyclops might get some screen time after being practically invisible in the previous X Men entries.
