Kinberg confirms that certain characters will obviously have to be recast, as they&#8217;ll have to appear much younger in the 1983 timeline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[X-Men: Apocalypse] really follows the stories of the &#8216;First Class&#8217; X-Men and the others of that generation of X-Men,&#8221; says Kinberg. &#8220;So in [in terms of the future X-Men returning for] future X-Men films, perhaps, but in &#8216;Apocalypse&#8217; it will really be the continuation of the past. If we included some of the original X-Men such as Storm, Jean, Scott and others in &#8216;Apocalypse&#8217; we would have to recast them because [it] takes place a good 20 years before <a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/films\/x-men\/\">X1<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;d be very hard to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Halle, Famke and Jimmy and others have done such wonderful jobs of bringing those characters to life and they&#8217;re so identified with the parts now, so it would be a toll-task,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;But I also would of said before &#8216;First Class&#8217; that there&#8217;d be no way we could find actors who could stand alongside Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart. I think we managed to with Michael and James finding their own interpretations of the characters [and] not doing an impersonation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So are we gonna have to recast? If some of those characters are in the movie, we would, so we&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apocalypse arrives in theaters May 27, 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.yahoo.com\/movies\/x-men-apocalypse-will-have-to-recast-storm-and-98222349391.html\" target=_blank><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26855\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/?attachment_id=26855\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/askkinberg.png?fit=798%2C444&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"798,444\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"askkinberg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/askkinberg.png?fit=640%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/askkinberg.png?resize=640%2C356&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"askkinberg\" width=\"640\" height=\"356\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/askkinberg.png?w=798&amp;ssl=1 798w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/askkinberg.png?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST writer Simon Kinberg was asked if the future mutants, such&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[60,15,5,43,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casting","category-crew-talk","category-video","category-x-men-apocalypse","category-x-men-days-of-future-past"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/LookingOn.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
