X-Rants: Pos-X-ibilities

So Mystique was supposed to assassinate Senator Kelly in the original storyline but since Bryan Singer killed Senator Kelly off in "X-Men" -- transformed into a mutant by Magneto and turned into a pile of slime in front of Storm --- the person Mystique is supposed to assassinate is replaced by Bolivar Trask. I know Trask appeared in "The Last Stand" but like I said in my earlier post, the damage done by Brett Ratner is not part of this timeline so... forget Bill Duke. Anyway, as most fans would have already known, whilst creating the Sentinels, Trask also created Master Mold, the only Sentinel with the ability to speak. With the introduction of Trask and those anorexic super-Sentinels, perhaps Bryan Singer might be doing one with an anorexic Master Mold in the future?

"Captain America: The Winter Soilder

Those of you saw the end credits to "Captain America: The Winter Soilders" would have already seen Quicksilver and his twin sister (Wanda/Scarlet Witch), which both are set to appear in next year's "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

In "Days of Future Past", Quicksilver made a quick less-than-15-minutes appearance. (Known in the movie as Peter Maximoff.) While rescuing Magneto from prison, Peter mentioned that his mother "used to know" someone who has the same abilities, little did he know that Magneto actually is his father. I really love to see how future movies are going to deal with this, since rights to "Avengers" and "X-Men" are currently being held by different studios and Quicksilver is played by different actors. Also, now that Bryan Singer has set such a high standard for the character (which is already gaining praises and a growing fan base), one could only hope that Joss Whedon does the character justice or he's gonna get badly trashed.

"Days of Future Past"

In the "Days of Future Past", Peter was shown sitting with a little girl, while they watch Magneto wreck the White House on TV and almost killing Nixon. Now, we all know that the girl couldn't possibly be Wanda because she is supposed to be his twin. Could she be some random kid, or is the girl Bryan Singer's idea of introducing an alternate Wanda?

Havok, who was first featured in "First Class", returns in a scene where Mystique rescues a group of mutants from a military camp, which was shown in "Days of Future Past" as well as the post-credit scene in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".

Havok in "Days of Future Past"

Who is Havok? His name is Alexander Summers. He is also the younger brother of Scott Summers (Cyclops). As the rescue scene in "First Class" and "Days of Future Past" was set in the 70s and Cyclops doesn't come along for at least another 20 years, let's hope that they don't try to turn Havok into his father. However, if this character were to be adapted as Cyclops' elder brother instead then that would be a whole different ball game. With two out of three of the Summers brothers introduced, this will open up possibilities for a spin-off storyline on the Shi'ar Empire, which would play out very well should Bryan Singer decided to tell the accurate version of the "Phoenix Saga". (Again, not the load of crap Brett Ratner fed us in "The Last Stand".)

Blink in "Days of Future Past"

Blink, who should be playing a major role in "Age of Apocalypse", is also introduced in "Days of Future Past". (I say "should" cause for all we know Bryan Singer might replace her character's story with Wolverine again and make the "Age of Apocalypse" another Wolverine-centered movie!) Apart from the Apocalypse arc, Blink also has a role to play in the "Phalanx Covenant". With actress Fan Bing Bing's five-movie deal with the studio, return of Havok and Cyclops revived, looks like there might be a high chance that the "Phalanx Covenant" will be adapted for the big screen. Of course, that would also mean a high possibility for the return of the Phoenix! If we will be seeing more of the Phoenix, does this mean that Bryan Singer will retell the "Phoenix Saga" now that he has given a middle finger to "The Last Stand"? (Yes, I know the possibility of them retelling the "Phoenix Saga" is super slim but I just can't let this go! It really sucks to see the whole Phoenix arc getting screwed over by Ratner and gang!)

"Day of Future Past" Post credit scene

At the end of the movie, we see that a pyramid, which supposedly holds the Lazarus Chamber, is being built by En Sabah Nur (you can hear his name being chanted by the worshipers) and the four horsemen of Apocalypse is shown at a distance. In the comics and animated series, we know that the horsemen are mutants Apocalypse "recuits" to serve him. A few notable horsemen include Angel (Warren Worthington), Mr. Sinister, Cyclops and even Wolverine! Will Bryan Singer put Wolverine up to the task again? Since he can regenerate and regain his memories at the end of the battle and all that shit. (~*roll eyes*~) Or will Mr. Sinister be introduced as one of the horsemen?

Everything is doned with a fresh start after the events in "Days of Future Past" and I guess it's safe to say that things are finally back to "normal" after the damage done by Ratner and gang were undone. Jean Grey and Cyclops are back together, Kelsey Grammer is blue again, and Kitty Pryde is hinted to be together with Colossus, instead of having another 'X-Men On Ice' moment with Bobby Drake. With Channing Tatum recently cast as Gambit and the Four Horsemen introduced, does this mean that we're finally going to see the death of Iceman and Gambit could finally get together with Rogue?! OMFG, yay!!!!

The one and only shot with Rogue in "Days of Future Past"

Speaking of Rogue, Anna Paquin's name was shown in the end credits but Rogue was nowhere to be seen throughout the movie. Apparently her scenes were snipped to ease the flow but you could still catch a glimpse of her in a shot towards the end of the movie getting together with Bobby Drake. Well, let's just say that she's like Winona Ryder in "Star Trek", only with lesser screen time.
