the xmen scene..


shouldn't it have been Patrick Stewart & Co as DP2 is set present day no? (then again Stewart was Prof X in the late 70s (XM Origins ending) and 80s (X3 opening) so its dosnt make sense for Prof X to look like McAvoy in Apocalypse either lol (and yes that's taking into account altered timelines)

The next X-Men movie is supposed to be set in the 90's with the same cast, meaning Xavier, Magneto, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, etc will suddenly age several years and look completely different. After not aging for the past 40 years, mind you.

I gave up trying to make sense of it a long time ago. It's better to consider the first three X-Men movies and the Wolverine films to be their own universe while the current X-Men flicks are another universe.

The X-Men films of the original trilogy state it takes place in a not so distant future of 2006.

reply

Right, so in 1991, Xavier looks to be in his 30's but in 2006, Xavier looks to be in his 60's?

reply

James McAvoy is 39. In 15 years he would only be 4 years younger than Stewart was when he first played Xavier. Not that big of an age gap.

reply

19 years is kind of big...just sayin👍

reply

Who taught you math? The age difference is 4, not 19.

reply

Jimmy is 39...in 15 years he will be 54....that will be 4 years prior to the age stew was when he portrayed X...58...

If you think there is only 4 years between 39 and 58...,you might want some lessons yourself...oh that's right...you just GOT schooled😮🔥🔥🔥

reply

Hm, I wonder when X-3 is supposed to take place? Beast looked like he was barely out of his teens in the 60's and remained that way throughout the decades until the 90's. Then he turned into a man in his 50's in a decade or possibly two.

Are you being serious? Do you not see your error?

reply

Unless there is an unknown variable located in another post...yeah...I am. Please illustrate the error.

reply

The point being made was that McAvoy as 1991 Xavier looks far younger than Stewart as 2006 Xavier, making people wonder how Professor X aged so drastically in 15 years. It was pointed out that McAvoy was 39 and Stewart 58, so adding 15 years to McAvoy's age would make him only 4 years younger than Stewart. So a 19-year actor age difference becomes a 4-year age difference when one is playing the same character 15 years earlier.

It's like the Obi Wan Kenobi paradox. How did he go from young and spry Ewan McGregor at the time of Luke's birth to decrepit Alec Guinness by the time Luke was 17 or 18?

reply

Well...that would be an unknown variable from another post wouldn't it? And had you not presented you case like an asshat...I would have most likely agreed...or at least understood it was a two part question postulated by nerds...my bad👍😉

Wade was an adult during the 70s in Origins so it should be in the 90s. Nothing explicitly states it’s in present time. And don’t say that modern technology is a hint because the X-Men world is not our world. They had giant robots in the early 70s and Legion has advance technology despite being in the 1970s.

reply

Patrick Stewart is too expensive. Or old. Take your pick.

reply

plus McAvoy and the rest were probably shooting Dark Phoenix at the time (in the house)

reply

Pfft... someone who still believes in physical sets. Lol!

reply

ready to be depressed? X3 was 12 years ago. That means there is practically an entire generation who thinks of McAvoy as Professor X and that Patrick Stewart was only in Logan to play an old James McAvoy.
