| ‘X2: X-Men United’ Writers Reunite For ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Story
While X-Men: Days of Future Past is ramping up for what will most surely be an amazing experience come May 2014, there is already momentum building for next X-Men film, X-Men: Apocalypse, which started earlier this month thanks to a tweet from director Bryan Singer announcing the film’s arrival in 2016. Now, Singer, who has used Twitter extensively to build hype and announcements for his projects, is once again using the social media platform to introduce us to the creative team who are plotting the story. In a tweet last night, Singer noted “Late night X-Men Apocalypse story session” and attached a photo which included Singer as well as Simon Kinberg, who wrote the X-Men: Days of Future Past screenplay, along with Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris, who wrote the screenplay for X2: X-Men United. Check out the tweet and photo below!

| Bryan Singer Reveals ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ For 2016
We haven’t even seen how X-Men: Days Of Future Past will do at the box office, but director Bryan Singer is already announcing the film’s sequel. In a recently released tweet, Singer hashtagged two words: #Xmen and #Apocalypse, which was followed by 2016. Pretty self-explanatory. We will be getting a film, possibly based on the Age of Apocalypse storyline to hit theaters in 2016. Like DOFP, AoA has a lot of time travel involved. In the ’90s animated series, Cable is one of the more prominent time travelers that goes up against Apocalypse. Considering how they use time travel in Singer’s version of DOFP, I wonder how they will explain how someone from a even more distant future travels back in time. The original story arc spanned various X-Men related titles, all featuring how the timelines have been altered by everyone’s actions.

In the comics, Kitty is the one who is sent back in time to warn the X-Men of the impending war against mutants. This left a few wondering, why make such a change, especially for an iconic story like “Days of Future Past.” Well writer Simon Kinberg took some time to offer an explanation as to why the decision was made, and you can read what he had to say below.
