X-Men: Apocalypse - Why You Shouldn't Miss This Marvelous Movie


After seeing all the X-Men films, you might surely want another installment, right? Well, brace yourself again to another electrifying X-Men Movie as it takes you to a time shifted forward 10 years after the events of the X-Men: Days of the Future Past. But whether or not this two-and-a-half hour-movie will make money is not the question among movie enthusiasts. A better question instead is, “Will it evolve or die”?

Thanks to Ayala Malls for making our experienced watching X-Men Apoalypse movie more exciting and worth remembering.


X-Men Apocalypse is the third film in the prequel trilogy which shifted 10 years after the events of the X-Men: Days of Future Past. It is a superhero extravaganza that discuss extreme traffic control issues resembling a bumper-car nightmare. While it features a jumbled sets of many characters, it also aims to shuffle multitude of mutants and other powerful characters into an exciting story of resurrected Gods who are ready to take on the world.

Is X-Men: Apocalypse worth to watch for? Well, there’s a lot of things to see in this movie. This includes the powerful god mutant dubbed as En Sabah Nur who was awakened after a hundred of years of dormancy to spread fear and disgust to the modern world with his nightmarish mission.


Meanwhile, the superheroes are set cool. New Scott Summers Students Tye Sheridan and Jena Grey will set out at first to control their superpowers. There’s Jennifer Lawrence, a blue-skinned mystique who’s on her quest to help endangered mutants. The superheroes will then find their way to defeat the super villain En Sabah Nur.

The characters are introduced with different pasts and powers while binding up a tonal variety that is not present to other superhero films. Another remarkable thing about X-Men: Apocalypse is that it has been augmented with rambunctious humour that will keep the audience energised and entertained all throughout the movie. If there’s one thing that this movie wants to tell, it’s that it does not need to have glowering heroes and repressed trauma victims to come up with an entertaining superhero story.

The setting has a lot of twists to show, too. According to trusted Hollywood movie reviews, a decade after Days of the Future Past, the plot is applauded not only due to its sporadic glimpse of a boom box but also because of the poofy hairstyles that you can’t afford to miss. The conflict arises when CIA agent Moira (Rose Byrne) accidentally awakens En Sabah Nur, who will then gather all the villain mutants to fulfill his mission of dominating the world. With his bid to ask Magneto to join his team, Charles Xavier including his students will then step into the scene.



While X-Men Apocalypse seems to be a throwback to a less sophisticated era, it presents a better series installments for X-Men fans. It prides its colourful sequence, diverse superpowers, convincing special effects, alluring portrayals of high-caliber Hollywood stars and an exciting resolution to conflicts. If you have been fascinated by the previous X-Men movies, Apocalypse surely got great reasons why you need to sit down inside the cinema house for more than two hours. a

The modern superhero movie is back, with a more enthralling story and riveting characters. You’ve waited a lot for the Apocalypse. X-Men movie makers always prepare more and more things for avid fan than ever. Now, will you miss another stirring X-Men movie?

What If Superheroes Had Part Time Jobs?

Superheroes also need money; besides they are just like us.  They need money for living, to buy food, to rent apartment, to purchase their costumes, to pay their bills, etc. Using their super powers, unique abilities and appeal, they could definitely get an extra money by applying as part timers.


I just found a post from MoviePilot that reveals the possible part time job of our all time favourite super heroes.

Chris Evans Weighs In On The Future Of Superhero Movies


The superhero genre is a big hit in Hollywood right now. Every year there are tons of superhero films being released. Just this year we saw the premiere of Marvel's second superhero team-up in Avengers: Age of Ultron and the last film in their Phase Two initiative – Ant-Man. There's also Fox's failed attempt at rebooting their other franchise besides the X-Men – Josh Trank's dark and gritty Fantastic Four. While some of these failed to impress the critics and the movie audiences, it's still another addition into the ever growing list of superhero films produced just this decade. Even more interesting, next year will be the release of a lot of big superhero films from popular properties such as Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool, and X-Men Apocalypse to list a few. While some might agree with Steven Spielberg that superhero films will go “the way of the western” (fade off in popularity), other artists are still optimistic about the future of the genre.


Chris Evans is one of these optimists. After all, he was a part of the rise of this genre when he played the Human Torch in 2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel. And right now he's starring in his third  solo film as Captain America, one of the most popular heroes from Marvel. He left the Civil War filming location recently to promote his directorial debut “Before We Go”, and in an interview with Collider he was asked about his thoughts on Spielberg's statement.

According to Evans, the improvement of technology is what drives the genre, as well as other types of films that makes use of this technological advancement:


“I certainly think that given the fact that technology has finally advanced, they’re always going to be looking for other films to match their technological accomplishments. Any film that can incorporate these larger-than-life characters and fantastical locations and plots, the technology wants to prove they can do it so whether it’s superhero film or fantasy in general, that’s going to surge for a while.”


He also stated that for the superhero genre to last longer, it has to be approached with something new to add to the table and keep reinventing the genre:


“In terms of superhero in general, existing properties that we know and love, it’s going to be a matter of the tone they strike. You could look at Jason Bourne as a superhero. You could take any superhero movie and if you ground it enough, if you make it real enough—that’s what I think [Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe and Anthony Russo] do really well. Certain superhero movies feel like “superhero movies.” Russo movies almost feel like human stories with a little bit of superhero sprinkled in. So you might get exhausted of the larger-than-life powers I suppose, but as long as the filmmakers keep on reinventing the flavor and the approach and the tone, audiences are going to still go.”

From what it seems like, future superhero films are already adding other elements to the mix. Marvel's attempt at a Spider-Man reboot will be akin to a John Hughes film, while David Ayer compared his Suicide Squad to the Dirty Dozen. Whether this will be successful in preventing it from going the way of the western or not, we'll have to wait and see. If Evans is right, then the genre might last longer. Chris Evans will likely be moving to the next filming location for Captain America: Civil War, which premieres to theaters on May 6, 2016.

Channing Tatum Officially Signed On For X-Men Spinoff 'Gambit'

          It's official, Channing Tatum is playing Gambit in an upcoming solo movie. This news comes after the rumors earlier this week that says Tatum was planning on leaving the project set for 2016, which was a huge surprise to fans since he recently appeared at Comic-Con with a Gambit shirt on the Fox panel. But now that he has officially signed on it's time to throw those rumors away.


            The news came from The Hollywood Reporter who confirmed that Channing Tatum is signed on to play Remy LeBeau in the X-Men spinoff. Although they also say that it actually did have some trouble along the way, as negotiations almost fell through between 20th Century Fox and Tatum. It should be noted that this project only came to be since Tatum publicly showed his love for the character and having known X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner also helped in his petition to play the part. Way back in 2013, when asked if he had a superhero in mind to play, he said that "I would like to play Gambit. Gambit is my favorite, because I'm from New Orleans, or around that area. My dad is from New Orleans and I'd love to do that." Just like what happened to Ryan Reynolds who is now leading in his own X-Men spinoff with 'Deadpool', development for this film would not have happened without the passion and interest that the actors have shown for their favorite characters.



            Now about his cameo as Gambit in X-Men: Apocalypse who is currently shooting on the filming location in Montreal, it's sad to say that he won't be appearing in the said X-Men film. This might be due to Fox wanting to give him a more proper introduction in the X-Men universe rather than a quick cameo in the already filled cast of the movie. Deadpool in the other hand has no news on the matter if he will be appearing there. With three movies next year, Fox does have a lot of work ahead of them so polishing the tiny details might be more important than showing cameos.

            Tatum hopes that his Gambit, a mutant with the ability to control kinetic energy, would be anchor to the entire franchise just as Wolverine did in the last 15 years. After Hugh Jackman's plans to leave the franchise, Fox would definitely want to find another bankable action star to headline their movies and Tatum looks like he could be that star.

Production for the movie is planned to begin this fall, with Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt attached to helm the movie. The filming location will be at New Orleans and casting for the film is currently ongoing. Tatum will produce and star in said film, hopefully having his Cajun accent perfected by the time they begin. With a script ready and a $150 million budget, Gambit looks to be another blockbuster by Fox. Gambit opens to theaters on October 7th, 2016.

Stan Lee Teases Different Kind of Cameo In X-Men Apocalypse

It's not a stretch to say that everyone knows Stan Lee. He was a co-creator of perhaps the most famous Marvel superhero of all time: Spider-Man. But over the years he's also helped in creating some of the most iconic characters in the Marvel comics, having served as a publisher for Marvel back in 1972 up to 1996. Since then he has become a producer in most of the Marvel films of 20th Century Fox, Sony, Universal or Marvel Studios.

Of course one of the most iconic things about Stan Lee is the fact that he appears for a cameo role in most of the Marvel movie adaptations that he has helped create, having appeared in more than 20 movies like Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man and more. It must be fun having him around with his creations in the filming location. He also makes frequent appearances in animated and live-action tv series. We recently saw him in Avengers: Age of Ultron and the latest Marvel film Ant-Man.

As a matter of fact, we will get another cameo from him soon since Lee has confirmed a cameo in Bryan Singer's X-Men Apocalypse. A fan asked Stan Lee about his favorite cameo during a Q&A in Comic-Con, and here's what he has to say.

"I really love them all," he states, before tells the fan that his next cameo might be his favorite. "I did a cameo for the next 'X-Men' movie," Lee said before someone whispers in his ear and stops him from saying more. Possibly since this cameo is off-limits to the audience. "When you say I'm not allowed, will I be arrested?" Lee said in jest.

"When you go see the next 'X-Men' movie when it comes out, and see my fantastic cameo, you will say, 'I remember he told me about it here," said Stan Lee. "It's a different cameo in that it has one additional thing in it. And if that doesn’t make you go see X-Men, I’m wasting my time."

It could be anyone's guess at this point on. No footage or clips has been leaked of Stan while he was on the filming location so it seems like the studio has put a tight seal on his cameo. With that in mind, this could mean that his appearance will play a more significant role in the film compared to his light-hearted short appearances that he has made in the previous Marvel films.  He could possibly be a mutant in this film.

Although this might not be that big of a deal, it should be noted that Stan Lee hasn't made a cameo in an X-Men movie ever since X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006 so it's just about time that he makes another appearance in the franchise. Considering that Singer calls this film the "true birth of X-Men", it would be fitting to have one of it's creators have an important role in the movie.

All we're left to for now is speculations as to what Stan Lee might portray. We'll have to wait until X-Men: Apocalypse opens to theaters on May 27, 2016.
