But he asked the A\/V gods if it was possible, and soon, the blood-soaked, expletive-laced trailer was playing again.<\/p>\n<p>It seems fitting for a movie 11 years in the making that Reynolds said was only greenlit because of the enthusiasm of the fans.<\/p>\n<p>The Marvel antihero, known for his salty language and off-humor, is given an origin story in this film, which comes out Feb. 12.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the main event of the Twentieth Century Fox presentation, which also included looks at &#8220;Fantastic Four,&#8221; the &#8220;Maze Runner&#8221; sequel and &#8220;Victor Frankenstein,&#8221; was &#8220;X-Men: Apocalypse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The veil was stripped away from the highly secretive film as director Bryan Singer revealed that it takes place 10 years after the events of &#8220;X-Men: Days of Future Past&#8221; in 1983.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px;\">\n<div style=\"overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:71.717172% 0 0 0;width:100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/480466482?et=labFiewEQzB9NEAsLbw02A&#038;viewMoreLink=on&#038;sig=jbgI4vyh81noZF7c2JA_QQiosUSXidMrEMPZE1WgNZk=&#038;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"426\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0;\">\n<div style=\"padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/480466482\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\">View image<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\">gettyimages.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is a world that has grown to accept mutants, mostly. But a mysterious and influential sect has risen that believes the mutants are gods.<\/p>\n<p>While Jennifer Lawrence said her character in this outing is more Raven than Mystique, Michael Fassbender stayed ambiguous about whether we&#8217;d be seeing Erik or Magneto.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s a guy who plays both sides. He&#8217;s always that kind of ambiguous villain,&#8221; said Fassbender. &#8220;When we meet him, he&#8217;s more of a simple guy, living a normal life. He&#8217;s hung up his cape and his evil ways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The footage also showed the first glimpse at Oscar Isaac&#8217;s villain Apocalypse and Sophie Turner&#8217;s young Jean Grey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;X-Men: Apocalypse&#8221; is only five weeks into shooting and will be released on May 27.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, &#8220;The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,&#8221; out Sept. 18, showcased a new trailer and an extended look at the new monster of the movie: the Cranks. In the film, they&#8217;re terrifying, slimy, zombielike creatures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a bit of a horror movie on our hands,&#8221; said director Wes Ball. &#8220;This movie is way bigger than the first one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dylan O&#8217;Brien said his protagonist Thomas is &#8220;for the first time feeling defeated and angry.&#8221; And new cast member Giancarlo Esposito said his character, Jorge, is just as explosive as his &#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221; character Gus Fring.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy also came out to talk about their film &#8220;Victor Frankenstein,&#8221; out Nov. 25. It&#8217;s inspired by Mary Shelley&#8217;s novel but told from Igor&#8217;s (Radcliffe) perspective. McAvoy said the film is about obsession, and the relationship between Igor and Victor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to pull him back from the edge of insanity. How do you stand up and tell someone they&#8217;re wrong when they&#8217;ve given you everything you have?&#8221; said Radcliffe.<\/p>\n<p>They also showed a clip of the terrifying moment the homunculus comes to life.<\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance were the cast and filmmakers of &#8220;Fantastic Four,&#8221; who premiered the final trailer for the film, out Aug. 7.<\/p>\n<p>Director Josh Trank said that he had not been to Comic-Con since he was 15.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I stopped coming because it became too Hollywood,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hardwick made sure to note the irony of his return for a big studio movie.<\/p>\n<p>The film tells the story of the &#8220;tragic origin&#8221; of the four friends who are mutated after an encounter in an alternate universe and given life-altering powers.<\/p>\n<p>To play the genius Reed Richards, who becomes Mr. Fantastic, Miles Teller said that Trank would give him books, &#8220;like `Quantum Physics for Dummies.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toby Kebbell, who plays Doctor Doom, said his character is &#8220;the best villain of all time in a comic book ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a very cool film,&#8221; said Teller. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just people blowing things up.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View image | gettyimages.com SAN DIEGO &#8212; Screams and cheers are cheap at Comic-Con, but the energy stepped up a &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":55345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-entertainment","mauthors-lindsey-bahr","mauthors-the-associated-press1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
