When it comes to comic-book clichés, there’s nothing mustier than the idea of an ancient Egyptian curse.

However, talking about deleted scenes, the X-Men producer gave some hope to fans as he mentioned a particular entertaining scene that could not make it to the movie but is there in the DVDs – where Nightcrawler starts break-dancing in the mall with a group of other performers.
X-Men: Apocalypse stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, and Rose Byrne. OH governor John Kasich could have served just as well. This is the ninth installment in the franchise and the fifth directed by Bryan Singer.
Who in the cast would you want to swap bodies with?
This is the latest big screen adventure for the two, after “X-Men: First Class” (2011) and “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (2014).
The X-Men may also have to deal with superhero burnout with audiences. Meanwhile Raven is trying to free Angel (Ben Hardy) and Kurt Wagner (Kodi Smit-McPhee) from an underground mutant flight club in East Berlin.
The standouts, in both character and performance, are Jean Gray and Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver (Evan Peters). “But it is a movie with way too much of everything except the things that should matter the most – novelty, creativity, and fun”.
It is in the aforementioned Polish woods that Erik has carved out a new, anonymous life, working in a factory and coming home to his loving wife and lovely child.
At times, “Apocalypse” can be great fun, even if it doesn’t know when to hand its vehicle keys to a friend and ask to be taken home. And while there are a few stirring visuals as various characters square off, it’s not almost as clever as “Captain America: Civil War”, while becoming mired in building-shattering effects that make “Man of Steel’s” carnage-filled climax seem positively restrained. What do we get for all the fuss?
Scott “Cyclops” Summers gets another origin story after being introduced in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which took place a decade earlier in the series’ timeline and still seems to be part of the canon. She has a love-thing going with Professor Xavier, although she doesn’t know it because he’s erased their romance from her memory. In addition, she is a skilled warrior who knows how to play with the sword.

Yes, it’s quite a crowd, and that’s not the half of it. Born Nathaniel Essex, he dates back to the 19th century in the comics and is a scientist and geneticist whose schemes typically involve experimenting on mutants in order to both ideal the human race and to extend his own life. I was thrilled when the first X-Men movie opened in 2000.
