My first post! :) Personally, I'm not shocked by this, although I wouldn't have minded seeing them again. Anyone else you hope does/n't return?

Idk how it would even work if they did show up. Isn't the movie set in the 80's?

Who knows at this point? I'm still trying to sort out what did/n't happen in the ~timeline since DoFP retconned some of the other movies. But yeah, it does seem like they'd still be looking somewhat young at the time that this movie is supposed to take place.

I wonder if they're going to try to pass Fassbender and McAvoy off like they're in their 50s? I hope not for shallow reasons but it'll be hilarious if there's 20 years in between First Class and Age of Apocalypse and they haven't aged at all.

I thought MF was like 40-something, and Google is telling me he's not even 40. LOL! Oops. :P So maybe it'd work for him. James McAvoy already looks a lot younger than Fassy IMO, and I can't see clean-shaven/bald helping with that.

Well then what is even the point?

I want a really moving scene between Charles and Erik. First Class had a ton while I found DOFP lacking.
