Staying true to the comics

“I feel like we have been, the ’X-Men’ franchise, has been growing a little bit more into science fiction. I think ’Days of Future Past’ with time travel and the Sentinels took us into a slightly broader, more science fiction world than the films had occupied in the past. We felt like the movies were ready for something that was slightly more, let’s say, cosmic. Once we made the decision for Apocalypse to be the villain at the center of the movie, we wanted to be true to the comics, which are sort of, like you, say, not costume, but it’s not just a guy in a helmet. It is more cosmic.” (via Comic Book Movie)

So what does that mean for the future of the X-Men series?

First, it means that Apocalypse will stay true to the character’s comic book origins. Then it means that the above concept art actually depicts an alien spaceship, something that we haven’t seen until now in the X-Men Movie Universe. And from this on, the sky is the limit!
