X-Men: Apocalypse features one of Wolverine’s best scenes, but it’s unfortunately destined to be forgotten because of the project it’s in. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has been the core of the X-Men franchise since its start in 2000, and it’s no surprise that he’s a fan favorite because of his consistently stellar performances. The character has so many great moments throughout the franchise that it’s hard to keep track, but one of his best scenes is undoubtedly a brutal action sequence in X-Men: Apocalypse where the experiment Weapon X is let loose. 4i1s2f

The X-Menprequels may have depicted the famed Marvel mutants in dynamic narratives, but watching them in hindsight reveals some less favorable aspects that Marvel should be cautious of while preparing for the MCU's X-Men movie. The X-Men prequel series began with X-Men: First Class, which intended to depict the initial formation of the famed mutant heroes. This proved so popular that an entire movie franchise was established. While the X-Men prequels revitalized the franchise after the disappointing conclusion to the original trilogy, they were by no means perfect.

The titular villain from X-Men: Apocalypse is one of the worst-received in the franchise, yet some concept art from the film's production offers a more comic-accurate version. Apocalypse, or En Sabah Nur, is one of the villains of the prequel X-Men films. Played by Oscar Isaac in X-Men: Apocalypse, the character was considered one of the worst X-Men antagonists next to X-Men Origins: Wolverine's Deadpool, with both considered among the lower-ranked X-Men films despite promising casts.

Here's a guide to X-Men: Apocalypse's cast and characters, as the 2016 sequel has plenty of superheroes - and villains - to sort through. The X-Men series launched with the original movie in 2000 and came to an end with 2020 spin-off The New Mutants. While the quality of the individual X-Men movies could vary wildly, the films helped establish the popularity of comic book movies. X-Men: Apocalypse itself was the third chapter in the prequel series that began with 2011's First Class, which was followed by 2014's Days Of Future Past, Apocalypse and 2019's Dark Phoneix.

Today, big releases like the MCU's Thor: Love and Thunder use end-credit scenes to generate interest in future projects and interwoven storylines. What was once a rarity in the cinema world has now become a necessity for many franchises like Marvel, with end credits keeping audiences glued to their seats until the very last moments of a film.

Mutants have been officially introduced into the MCU with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This has led to conjecture about which mutants are going to fight alongside the X-Men. However, it's also led to fans wondering which mutants won't appear in the MCU.

The Evan Peters Quicksilver performance was one of the highlights Fox's X-Men movie franchise, and now he officially became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in WandaVision (sort of). Peters was "recast" in the role of Pietro Maximoff, the late twin brother of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). The MCU's Quicksilver was played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and he died inAvengers: Age of Ultron. The fact that there was a Quicksilver in the X-Men movies and in the MCU is due to the strange distribution of Marvel's character rights. Marvel's X-Men and mutant characters, were owned by Fox, not Disney, for years. This included Quicksilver, a mutant and the son of Magneto in the comics.  However, he was also an Avenger, and Marvel Studios retained the rights to the Avengers' lineup of characters when they started the MCU, and Quicksilver was no exception.

Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse may have included Stan Lee’s best cameo because it featured something that no other cameo ever did. Throughout his career, Stan Lee had many cameos in Marvel movies. For example, Stan’s first cameo in a cinematic Marvel movie was as a hot dog vendor in X-Men. He also appeared in various Spider-Man and Fantastic Four films along with every MCU movie until Avengers: Endgame. However, one of Stan’s best cameos was in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac explains he will not disown his role as the villain in the critical bomb X-Men: Apocalypse, but the actor has wished that the movie was better. Isaac has credits in some of the biggest franchises in Hollywood today such as Star Wars, the MCU with Moon Knight, Sony's Spider-Verse series, and Dune, but his first superhero film role occurred in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, the third film in Fox's X-Men prequel series.
