"X Men: Apocalypse," undoubtedly 20th Century Fox's most anticipated release has been reported wrapping up with pre-production an will begin shooting the film in April.
The movie has been receiving a lot of updates: Oscar Isaac of "A Most Violent Year" being cast as the movie's title villain; Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen not returning to their respective roles; the casting of the younger versions of Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey.
Writer for "Apocalpyse" Simon Kinberg recently spoke of the the possibility of an "X Men" versus "Fantastic Four" crossover film with Entertainment Weekly.
"We were doing something pretty radical with the tone of the movie." Still, the opportunity for a crossover is there," said the writer. "If we wanted to find a way to connect them to the X-Men, we could."
He also discussed the return of Dr. Moira McTaggert, the CIA agent played by actress Rose Byrne in 2011's "X Men: First Class."
"She's a significant character in the movie. We ended 'First Class' with Charles having wiped portions of her memory of her experience with the X-Men. They are, essentially, strangers to her when she meets them... It's certainly a rich relationship that we started to dig into in 'First Class', and would like to mine more in this one," said Kinberg.
Kinger touched on the timeline of the movie's, revealing that "Apocalypse" will take place in the 80's. When asked if the character "Dazzler," a character coincidentally introduced in the comic books in 1980 would be appearing in the upcoming film.
"That's the era that I grew up in. The music, the fashion, the videogames: We really want to integrate all of that in the movie, and have it infuse the movie with a different vibe... Could happen. We're certainly looking at mutants that would fit into the period."
"X Men: Apocalpyse" will premiere in theaters on May 27, 2016.
