Does the madness ever end? I am now writing FIVE screenplays ... the four I've mentioned in this blog before, and I'm now working on a screenplay for a fourth X-Men movie. Not that I have any hope of someone picking it up and it actually being turned into the fourth X-Men movie, but it's something I've been toying with for a little while anyway.
Been a huge X-Men fan since I was in middle school, and I thought it was high time Apocalypse and Sinister got their time on the silver screen. And yes, I realize he's actually Mr. Sinister, but for the purpose of the movie, I'm dropping the "Mr." because in a lot of people's eyes, the "Mr." part might seem really corny. So he's just Sinister.
Apocalypse as a villain is an obvious choice, and Sinister gives me a legitimate reason (and way) to bring back Cyclops and Jean. By bringing those two back and letting Sinister into the fray, I hope to have an X-Men film that won't focus seemingly only on Wolverine. He'll be in the movie, because X-fans the world over would kill me with their optic blasts and adamantium claws if he wasn't, but he won't be the focus this time.
Apocalypse will use Sinister in his scheme to take Magneto's message to the next step: not only human subservience and/or genocide, but a new world order in the truest sense ... since Apocalypse has been around since before ancient Egypt, he's had a while to enact grand schemes. Part of that would be the Legacy Virus, designed to wipe the world of mutants (and not in a nice, seemingly willing way the "cure" from X3 was). Sinister, on top of monkeying around with Cyke and Jean, will be Apocalypse's pawn in the whole thing.
Oh, yeah ... and what will become of the X-Men without Xavier? Or will they be without him ... ?
