X-Men: First Class was set in the 1960’s.
X-Men: Days of Future Past got groovy in the 1970’s.
X-Men: Apocalypse will be totally 1980’s.
Producer Simon Kinberg says he and director Bryan Singer are enjoying writing the sequel with that time period.
“We’re having a lot of fun with the idea of the 80s. It’s a decade that Bryan and I both grew up in and so the music, the style, the aesthetic, the legacy of 80s movies is something we’re really having fun with,” Kinberg told Collider.
The box office success of Days of Future Past could have an impact on how big this next adventure could be.
“There are some very big set pieces. I don’t know what the budget’s gonna be because we’re still a ways away from budgeting the film, but I can say that Fox has a lot of creative confidence in the team that made Days of Future Past—myself, Bryan, Lauren Shuler Donner, Hutch Parker. All of those people are coming back so in terms of a sandbox they’re definitely giving us a lot of room to play creatively and take chances the way that we took some chances on Days of Future Past, and do some radical things just as I think we did some radical things in Days of Future Past.”
X-Men: Apocalypse arrives May 27, 2016.
X-Men: Days of Future Past arrives October 14, 2014.
