This article contains spoilers forX-Men: Apocalypse.
After all,Apocalypsehad loads of characters and continent-swapping action.
We pondered where the new movie leaves theX-Menfranchise at large, and how it teases potential spin-offs.
The spoilers begin after our trusty spoiler squirrel, Daphne… For now, though, Havok is dead until proven otherwise.
The fate of Ben Hardys Angel is a bit less obvious.
The main X-Men team have rarely looked this strong at the end of a movie.
This sets the stage for future movies in a rather obvious way.
The drug-addled Charles ofDays Of Future Pastis now a distant memory.
Fox is probably trying to sign McAvoy up for as many more movies as possible as we speak.
The same surely goes for Jennifer Lawrences Mystique.
If Lawrence is willing to keep returning, Fox would surely be glad to have her.
Michael Fassbenders Magneto didnt opt to join the X-Men or to hand himself in as hed mentioned earlier.
After some bantering with Charles at the end, Erik simply wanders off.
It feels like his arc is done, given his eventual turn against Apocalypse.
It all depends, rather dully, on how contract negotiations go.
After all, theFirst Classcast only signed up for a trilogy originally.
A suitcase emblazoned with the words Essex Corp, no less.
Interestingly, Essex became Sinister in the comics by forming an alliance with Apocalypse.
Its unclear exactly which film Mister Sinister will show up in.
And what would Sinister want with Logans blood anyway?
Is he planning to experiment with Wolvies bodily fluids in the hope of creating his own metal warrior?
Bryan Singer is already talking about bringing a female Wolverine clone called X-23 into the franchise.
What this means for the future of Wolverine remains to be seen.
Patrick Stewart will appear alongside Mr Jackman.
That, or someone will have to convince Jackman to sign up for yet more movies.
Once more, though, only time will tell what becomes of Wolverine afterApocalypse.
There could be something utterly random and unpredictable on the cards.
There was lots of wandering off in this film.
Logan wasnt the only one to run away without overtly-expressed motivation.
Magneto did the same thing, opting not to stay with Charles.
Angel didnt wander off, but was left ambiguously in a pile of rubble.
To me, all these moments felt like potential jumping-off points for spin-off stories.
Although squeezing him in couldve sparked a lot of online buzz, Deadpool didnt make any sort of appearance.
A young, powerless Wade Wilson was probably watchingVoltronand cracking wise during the 1980s-set events ofX-Men: Apocalypse.
There was also no mention of Gambit, The New Mutants or X-Force.
In the age of multiple post-credits-stings, this is something of a surprise.
But still, holding back as many details as possible about a movie is no bad thing.
Its quite nice, for now, knowing very little about these films.
X-Men: Apocalypse, then.
