While attending Toronto’s International Film Festival, DEADPOOL<\/a>, X-MEN:APOCALYPSE<\/a> and GAMBIT<\/a> producer Simon Kinberg<\/strong> told MTV<\/a> that each film (all releasing in 2016) along with 2017’s WOLVERINE<\/a> finale and the in-development NEW MUTANTS<\/a> naturally takes place within the same universe, at different points in the new timeline created by the history-altering events of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThe idea is that we\u2019ve sort of reset the timeline after \u2019Days of Future Past\u2019 in some ways, and if not erased, certainly allowed for change from \u2019X1,\u2019 \u20192,\u2019 \u20193,\u2019 everything from \u2019Days of Future Past\u2019 forward, 1973, everything we set now becomes canon,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the \u2019Gambit\u2019 movie, the \u2019Deadpool\u2019 movie, will exist in a world that acknowledges whatever happened in \u2019Days of Future Past\u2019 and moving forward. Doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll always interact with those characters, obviously, it\u2019s not like every movie has all the characters, but they all have to exist within the same rules.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be interplay between different characters in different movies.\u201d<\/p>\n Kinberg says he keeps track of every film within new continuity logic by using a couple methods.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t have it up on a wall, but I have it on my computer, and I have it sort of tattooed on my brain now too,\u201d he bsaid. \u201cNothing external, so that if I get knocked over the head, no one can read it. It\u2019s literally behind my eyelids. But yeah, we have a clear sense of the directions we want to take them in and in my my mind at least, how we could start to cross-pollinate sort of with those characters that have their standalone movies.\u201d<\/p>\n X-Men is a shared cinematic universe within itself, containing several characters and teams that can each carry their own films with sequels crossovers. <\/p>\n
