X-Men: Days of Future Past screenwriter Simon Kinberg has been discussing the next film in the franchise, explaining that X-Men: Apocalypse will spend time focussing on the relationship between Mystique and Beast, and calling it the final part in a trilogy for this particular generation of mutants.
Speaking to Collider, Kinberg said “[X-Men: Apocalypse] is definitely the close of a trilogy for those First Class characters, which isn’t to say we won’t see them in future movies, hopefully we will, but it’s a completion of an arc for them. I think that the friendship between Erik and Charles, which has always been so integral to the franchise, is something we’re continuing to explore and hopefully deepen with Apocalypse.
"And the relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn’t have a lot of time to explore in Days of Future Past, so we’ll have an opportunity to do more of that in Apocalypse.”
And it sounds like Kinberg and director Bryan Singer have been putting a lot of thought into the character of Mystique and how she could become something of a focus for this movie.
“Part of what’s really interesting about Mystique’s character is that she is, in some ways, the child of both Erik and Charles” he explained. “She grew up with Charles and then sort of became a woman with Erik, so her being the cross-pollination, if you will, of those two philosophies and those two men is something we can explore in the movie too.”
X-Men: Apocalypse hits screens May 27, while the rest of Kinberg’s interview can be read over at Collider.
