I worry that they're overdoing it to the point that superhero movies will no longer be giant, box office draws. Once we hit Ant-Man territory, I think we could hit that point. A lot of people think Guardians of the Galaxy could be a financial disappointment too. I don't think Guardians will flop. Granted, it might not be a massive monetary success, however, it will generate some cash seeing it's the last film of the Phase 2 universe before Avengers: Age of Ultron. Plus it has a raccoon with a gun. That alone will sell people I think.

I doubt it will flop either, but with Iron Man 3 making $1.2 billion worldwide, Thor 2 making $644 million, and Cap 2 about to break the $700 million mark I would think anything less than $500 million would be a big disappointment for Marvel.

People have been worrying about the comic book movie craze crashing for a long time now, and yet year after year they continue to do great business. Personally, I'm just going to enjoy the ride for however long it lasts.

They've already said that much like Thanos teaser at the end of Avengers, that the actor doing the teaser at the end of DoFP as Apocalypse, won't be the 'real' guy come movie time.
That's good, cuz that dude was way small; though the display of power was awesome, and the En Sabah Nur chants were great.

About 20 years ago I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been perfect for Apocalypse based on his look from the comics and the 90s animated series.
But that was before Batman & Robin and he just looks too old now.
So I don't know who could play him now...

I'd almost say to CGI him, especially since he can shapeshift/control his molecules anyway, and just get an actor that can emote/has a great voice.

It's not the first time that the Rock (of the eternal shore?) has played an Egyptian character:

Is this supposed to be a First Class cast movie, or a sequel? Because with the way DoFP went, I kind of want to see the core X-Men team again.

So does that mean apocalypse is set to make his debut on post DOFP timeline and not the original pre DOFP timeline? Because in the first X-Men movie mutants were still not to well known and the public didn't fear them too much. Because I bet apocalypse is going to cause really big f***ing chaos people won't really forget about. I'd imagine all the destruction and TV cameras on DOFP mutants are very well known to the public. Speaking of which where was apocalypse hiding the entire time if my theory is correct

I wonder if Apocalypse being unleashed is a result of {Spoiler}{Spoiler}the timeline being altered in DOFP That would be kind of cool. I'm also curious to see who the X roster will be in this one. Since it's in the 80's maybe a young Storm, Cyclops and Jean?

In the books, periodically Apocalypse has to enter 'hibernation' states to heal up if he's been dealt horrific injuries etc. He's functionally immortal, but he can be killed. So it's altogether possible that he's spent thousands of years in such a state, and is only now 'coming back'.
