Earlier this week, a video
debuted that broke down all of the Easter Eggs and comic book references in
20th Century Fox's X-Men: Apocalypse, just days after it hit theaters. As this
superhero adventure heads into its second weekend in theaters, yet another
video has surfaced, showing fans what could have been. This video breaks down
some of the deleted scenes and alternate concepts that were ultimately
discarded before the movie hit theaters. Of course, there will be SPOILERS
below, so read on at your own risk.
This new video comes from
the Mr. Sunday Movies YouTube channel, which reveals a few scenes that may seem
familiar, for those who have been following the movie all the way through
production. Some of the first set photos released when production got under way
in Montreal revealed a group of young mutants coming out of a screening of the
1983 classic Return of the Jedi. While it wasn't seen in the movie itself,
there was an 80s montage that showed the mutants visiting a record store, which
featured a Dazzler Easter Egg, while Jubilee (Lana Condor) is seen showing off
her "sparkly powers." It should be noted that director Bryan Singer
has confirmed that most of Jubilee's scenes have been cut from the movie
altogether.
We also saw one of these
deleted scenes in one of the TV spots, where Nightcrawler gets a "brain
freeze." We also see an alternate design of Apocalypse, that was designed
by a company named Ironhead Studios, that ultimately wasn't chosen. This video
also reveals that, in earlier versions of the script, Professor X (James
McAvoy) was originally set to be the fourth Horseman, before they added
Psylocke (Olivia Munn) to the story. Mr. Sunday also breaks down Wolverine's
extended role, which we previously reported about, but it was cut because the
filmmakers thought it was taking away from Jennifer Lawrence's leadership role
as Mystique.
X-Men: Apocalypse took in
$65.7 million in its three-day opening weekend, and $79.8 million over the
four-day Memorial Day holiday. That mark was much lower than 2014's X-Men: Days
of Future Past, which opened with $90.8 million en route to $233.9 million
domestic, but it was higher than 2011's X-Men: First Class, which opened with
$55.1 million en route to a domestic total of $146.4 million. We'll have to
wait and see how X-Men: Apocalypse fares in its second weekend, where it goes
up against Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Me Before You.
After Wolverine 3 hits
theaters next year, we aren't quite sure what X-Men movie will debut next. 20th
Century Fox is getting ready to shoot Gambit later this year, with Deadpool 2
also rumored to shoot this fall. The studio is developing The New Mutants, and
producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed that the next X-Men movie will be set in
the 1990s, but there isn't much more we know about the future of this
franchise. While we wait for more details to come in, take a look at this video
that breaks down all of the deleted scenes and alternate concepts in X-Men:
Apocalypse. We're not sure these would have made the movie any better. But we
think Deadpool might have. Sadly. he's not mentioned here at all.
