In that film, Lawrence responds by transforming into Rebecca Romijn , a veteran of the original X-Men trilogy, but now it seems like getting older is the one thing Mystique will never do. And what of the three characters in the scene I named up top?
Alex Summers is at least 20 when we meet him in First Class , which means that his perma-twink portrayer Lucas Till is playing a something in Apocalypse , though he still looks a youthful 25 and even boasts a high-school-aged brother, Scott played by year-old Tye Sheridan. Yes, humanity will always hate and fear the X-Men, but maybe things would go a lot better if the mutants would just release their skin-care regimen. But still, it's yet another major plot contrivance. Rounding out the main trio, Michael Fassbender 's Magneto should not look as great as he does for someone who was a teenager during the holocaust.
The character was born in , which would make him 63 by the time of Dark Phoenix. Be honest: does Fassbender even look like someone who could pass as a year-old man? Other main characters include Beast, but Nicholas Hoult's character does have minor shape-shifting abilities that could work like Mystique's. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Adaptation Dye-Job : In the comics, he has been shown to have had white hair for the vast majority of his adult life, presumably as a side-effect of his mutation.
In the films, he's introduced with grey hair though only because, lacking Comic-Book Time , the screenwriters had to make him the realistic age of a Holocaust survivor and he has dark brown hair as a younger man in the prequels. In the films Erik Lehnsherr is his real name and the alias he uses is Henryk Gurzsky. To be fair though, Max Eisenhardt was not revealed as his true comic book name until the miniseries X-Men: Magneto Testament , long after the first X-Men movie was released in Affably Evil : With Xavier.
They still play chess games together a good 40 years into their conflict with each other. Hell, if you are on his side, he is rather chatty and friendly to you. As in most versions of X-Men, he and Xavier were very close friends who eventually found themselves on separate sides due to their ideological differences.
Anti-Hero : Played straight in Dark Phoenix , where he makes a point that the Phoenix is dangerous, but his methods involve injuring anyone who gets in his way as he tries to kill Jean. Subverted in X-Men: First Class and X2: X-Men United , where he seems to join the heroes against a common foe, but is ultimately revealed to have ulterior motives and turns against them in the end. Anti-Villain : Has an unquestionably sympathetic backstory and very good reason to believe that humans are out to eradicate the mutant race.
However, he is a dangerous individual with few limits on his devotion and what must be done to ensure the survival of his kind. Even his best and oldest friend isn't safe from his extreme methods and beliefs. He's come through a great deal, and isn't taking on single-handedly, or even with the help of his Brotherhood, society as a whole. He's joined up again with his old friend, Professor X, and together, they're going to try to move things forward.
Erik stopping Juggernaut : In chess, the pawns go first. They've learned. That's why the pawns go first. Erik: Honestly Charles, I don't know how you survived living in such hardship. Cyclops: Storm, fry him! But that still doesn't explain how the rest of the team have retained their youth over the years.
Take a look for yourself Although he's old enough to get a free bus pass, James McAvoy looks far too young for the part, resulting from the series hopscotching through time. Speaking of Professor X, the character first met Raven Darkholme when she was ten and he was twelve, establishing her birth year as , making the character roughly 58 years old in the latest instalment.
As said, this one's down to her shape-shifting abilities and is explained outright in the film when Hank examines Raven's cells, and tells her: "You gotta see this. Your genes are extraordinary, you know that? Your cells age at half the rate of a normal human. When you're 40, you'll still have the leucocytes of a teenager.
In fact, think back to First Class and we find out he's 14 during the wartime flashback in , meaning he's even older than his "old" buddy Xavier, making him 62 in the recent film. For someone who's had to endure the horrors of World War II, it doesn't seem to have taken its toll on the mutant leader. The Beast made a return for the epic conclusion to the series as the only other survivor of the original First Class of X-Men. His exact birth date is a little murky, but we know he came to be at some point in the '40s, making him somewhere in his early 50s in Dark Phoenix.
