Simon Kinberg on the X-Men Universe

Posted by Jeff Labels: , , ,

In an interview with IGN at the Star Wars Celebration Simon Kinberg, Writer and Producer on several X-Men films spoke about the future of the X-Men Universe.


That has the same kind of integration. It's a smaller group. All of the films [Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse and Gambit] are aware of each other. I know what's happening in each story, of each of the movies and they certainly acknowledge each other. Things that happen in one film are acknowledged by the other movies. The result of the aftermath of [X-Men:] Apocalypse is something that will impact the course of history in the world in much the same way that the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past did. From 1973 forward, the world knew about mutants. A mutant took a football stadium and dropped it on the White House. That's not the history we were raised on. So, instead of ignoring it, all of the movies that come after that in the timeline acknowledge it and embrace it, and it becomes part of the complicated reality of X-Men history on film. The films are all going to be informed by one another.
