X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST<\/a> writer Simon Kinberg<\/strong> told Superhero Hype<\/a> the follow up film X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a> will be larger in storytelling and scale. The movie’s title villain is grander than any previous X-Men villain on screen, and Kinberg explains the importance behind transitioning the character to the big screen.<\/p>\n

“We want to tell the Apocalypse story and there’s massive scale and scope to telling that story. There’s going to be set pieces that I suspect are going to be bigger than anything we’ve ever done in an X-Men movie before and he’s a great character. The biggest and funnest challenge of the Apocalypse movie to me is his character. How do you create a new villain for the X-Men world that is as good as any villain that’s come before, is compelling philosophically as Magneto, not just in his physical powers, but in his philosophical depth. ‘Apocalypse’ is going to be a fun movie to write and make.”<\/p>\n
