Days of future past timeline12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, it’s this same pro-mutant perspective that leads a cult to discover the existence of Apocalypse, and resurrect him in 1983. It also has the effect of exposing the existence of mutants to the entire world at an earlier point in the timeline, and over the next 10 years actually leads to a fair amount of acceptance for them within society. At the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Mystique doesn’t kill Bolivar Trask in 1973, and stops a devastating war-and-Sentinel-filled future from ever coming to pass… but this isn’t the only consequence of that event. When looked at from a cause-and-effect point of view, this does make a fair amount of sense. Maybe that will be the plot of the next one! Maybe we just came up with it right here! How do I explain it? Well, maybe see another movie, we’ll figure that out. ![]() So I look at the conclusion of the last movie, and I look at Apocalypse’s arrival as yet another disruption in the timeline that we’ve come familiar with over the history of the films. Then there’s the disruption of time, which enables us to have a lot of freedom in future films.But my feeling is, there’s also theories in physics, quantum physics, about parallel timelines. We play with time in Days of Future Past in a sense where there’s immutability of time – which is time kind of gathering itself after being disrupted. The filmmaker didn’t give me a straight yes or no answer, but instead basically explained that Apocalypse’s return in the upcoming movie is a monumental event that both only takes place on the new timeline, and actually distances it from the old timeline. I recently posed this very query to director Bryan Singer, who explained with using theories in quantum physics that the resurrection of the titular villain in X-Men: Apocalypse is a first-time event. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Singer at the X-Men: Apocalypse junket in London, England and right out the gate I asked about whether or not the original X-Men timeline ever saw the return of The First Mutant. ![]()
