Quicksilver (Evan Peters) was a scene stealing smash in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The super fast mutant was recruited by Wolverine and Professor X to break Magneto out of prison in what might be the coolest scene in an X-movie since Nightcrawler’s White House attack.

 

In the comics Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Pietro and Wanda) are children of Magneto but left his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to become Avengers. Fans got their first look at the twins (Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Elizabeth Olsen of Godzilla) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and we’ll learn just how they differ from their comic book counterparts in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Back to Fox’s X-Men, Quicksilver dropped a line hinting that he may be the son of Magneto. In the film’s final moments Peter was holding a little girl – a sister perhaps? Continue reading POLARIS for X-MEN Movies?

The Sentinels were as chilling and relentless as longtime X-fans expected them to be in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

 

Director Bryan Singer and the X-Team showed us the original Sentinels as created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and the adaptable versions of the future. In an unique twist from comics lore, Trask used the shapeshifting genes of Mystique in order to make the robots adapt to any prey’s powers.

 

X-Men Apocalypse is the next movie in which the immortal first mutant will appear be the villain but is Team Fox X-Men finished with the Sentinels? Continue reading SENTINELS of X-MEN FUTURE?

X-Men: Days of Future Past opened to rave reviews and generated astonishing box-office results.

 

After uniting the cast of the original trilogy and X-Men: First Class in a time travel epic that introduced Sentinels – what will they do next?

Director Bryan Singer already revealed the next film is X-Men: Apocalypse so the post-credits sequence shouldn’t be a surprise but just to be safe here’s a…

For your consideration:

 

With a leading man in James McAvoy (Wanted, The Last King of Scotland) maybe it’s time to see some of the women in Professor X’s life in X-Men: Apocalypse or perhaps a spinoff starring Charles Xavier?

 

Dr. Moira Kinross MacTaggert is a great lost love and colleague but she’s was played briefly by Olivia Wilde in X-Men: The Last Stand. Moira was an America CIA operative played by Rose Byrne in X-Men: First Class. Perhaps Moira can have he telepathic blocked memories rekindled for a sequel that reunites her with Charles.
