The latest installment in the X-Men movie franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse, just hit theaters and received countless good responses for its grandeur and ferocity.
1. Wolverine’s special appearance
Perhaps, Wolverine’s appearance in the movie will surprise the audience.
2. Some interesting `guest` characters
Before Nightcrawler appeared, Angel defeated The Blob, who was an evil character in the original story.
The Blob previously appeared in `X-Men Origins: Wolverine` played by Keven Durand
General William Stryker, an officer with a grudge against mutants, also appears in this part (played by Josh Helman, the actor’s character also appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past).
3. Four Horsemen of Apocalypse
In the comics, with the exception of Angel, Storm and Magneto never became the knights of Apocalypse.
Psylocke briefly became a knight, but at that time Archangel was the one who held the power of Apocalypse in the Dark Angel Saga.
Psylocke in the comics is a regular member of the X-Men and has never become evil.
4. Confirmed family relationships:
Finally, X-Men has confirmed Havok and Cyclops’ relationship as siblings like in the comics.
X-Men: Days of Future hinted that Quicksilver is Magneto’s son.
In addition, the lovely daughter Nina who was defeated by Magneto’s assassin is also the character Anya in the story.
In addition, there is another family in the X-Men movie universe: father Azazel, mother Mystique and their son Nightcrawler.
5. Costumes are designed closely to the original
No longer a black tone like the originals, the X-Men’s costumes are now colorful like the comics as well as the animated versions.
6. Some other interesting details
The informant character Caliban is originally a mutant in the comics.
When the group of young mutants walked out of the theater, Jean Gray said that `part 3 is always the worst`, Bryan Singer was implying that X-Men: The Last Stand ruined everything he had.
In a deleted scene from the film, Cyclops gives Jean Gray a Dazzlers album.
7. After Credits
The `bonus` video appears after the running text, revolving around a mysterious man (played by James Malloch) and his colleagues entering a laboratory room.
This makes die-hard fans of the series immediately think of Nathaniel Essex/Mister Sinister, the scientist who always supports Apocalypse every time he wakes up.
8. `Fire Phoenix` Jean Gray
The female mutant played by Sophie Turner is the `key` to help the X-Men team defeat Apocalypse, when Jean Gray’s Phoenix Force burst out and quickly turned the evil god into ash.
Phoenix Force also appeared in the first three X-Men parts, it is the reason why Jean Gray transformed into the evil personality Dark Phoenix.
