The X-Men Apocalypse cast would include the "older" Professor X, if reports are to be believed.
Stewart dropped a bombshell when he suggested that his character may not survive Days of Future Past and yet could return for X-Men: Apocalypse regardless.
In an interview with MTV, Stewart hinted that the older Professor X may not live through this latest X-movie.
When asked about the potential for his reprising the role for Apocalypse, he said:
"I don't see why not. That is one of the blessings about fantasy and science fiction. You're never really dead. I would love to come back and do some more."
Is Stewart referring to his character's apparent death in The Last Stand, or suggesting that the older Xavier dies at some point during X-Men Days of Future Past? Either way, it sound like he feels confident that his involvement will continue past DoFP. But how far? Stewart went on to say:
"There might be something else. A little bird has whispered that there might be something 'X-Men'-related."
"Something 'X-Men'-related" just might refer to the as-yet unspecified Marvel-based project Fox is releasing on July 13, 2018. We know that we're getting Wolverine 3 in 2017, though - could Stewart be appearing in that? Could the 2018 release be the X-Force movie written by Jeff Wadlow or the Gambit solo film which could star Channing Tatum?
And continuing on with X-Men: Apocalypse, Mister Sinister has been hinted at by director Bryan Singer as a villain in "X-Men: Apocalypse."
"You won't feel at the end of ["Days of Future Past"] that it set up 'Apocalypse'. What it does is it sets up possibilities," said Singer to EW.
"But what we'll discover in 'Apocalypse' is that events in this movie made that happen. 'Apocalypse' deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants were? What would mutants think humans were? You're dealing with gods and things like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our world?"
What this means is that Mister Sinister will be simply one villain of the many for Apocalypse, before the reveal of the titular character, Apocalypse. If Mister Sinister isn't enough to sell you in on X-Men Apocalypse, Channing Tatum is in talks to play Gambit in the movie!
