A few days back, X-Men: Apocalypse officially introduced their new Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm and now we have another addition! It isn't a new character that has been brought to Apocalypse, rather it's someone from the first movie of the trilogy. Someone who was signed for X-Men: First Class when the shooting of the movie had already begun!
Writer Simon Kinberg confirms to "˜Entertainment Weekly' that X-Men: Apocalypse is set to re-introduce the CIA agent we had seen in X-Men: First Class, Moira MacTaggert. The Australian actress Mary Rose Byrne will once again play the character that she calls "˜a woman in a man's world'.
Moira had her memory obliterated by Charles Xavier in the ending part of X-Men: First Class, which actually stood as the reason of her missing out the sequel venture, Days Of Future Past.
Moira In X-Men: Apocalypse Is Significant!
Kinberg claims that in spite of her absence in Days of Future Past, Rose Byrne's CIA agent is still "˜a significant character' in the upcoming X-Men venture. As a result of what happened to her in First Class, Moira will have no memories of the mutants and that they will be completely strangers to her when she gets her first meeting with them in Apocalypse.
Moira-Charles Relationship Digged Deeper!
We have seen Moira also as the love interest of James McAvoy's Charles Xavier. What about the relationship that they had? Will that see some light? The writer admits that Moira and Charles do have "˜a rich relationship' and that it will not be ignored in Apocalypse. The 27 May, 2016 X-Men movie will "˜mine more' into the relationship that they started to dig into in First Class.
Dazzler Might Be Introduced In Apocalypse!
X-Men: Apocalypse is set in the 1980s, the period that Kinberg claims to be close to his heart. He also claims that fans will be able to witness that when they watch the movie next year. Now, we have a very popular character from that decade in the comics, Dazzler. Will the disco club-kid mutant be introduced in the movie? Well, Kinberg doesn't deny! He responds with a "˜could happen' when asked! He adds that they are looking at the characters that would "˜fit into the period'.
