10 Last-Minute Predictions For X-Men: Apocalypse

10. Dark Phoenix Is Heavily Hinted At

The Prediction: Jean Grey becoming the Dark Phoenix in a future X-Men movie will be heavily implied through her interactions with Apocalypse in this movie.

Why It'll Happen: There's already a compelling theory out there that one of Apocalypse's Horsemen will be replaced by Jean Grey at some point in the film, and even if Apocalypse is able to manipulate her for just one single scene, it would provide a welcome window into the future potential for the character's iconic alter ego.

Why It Might Not: For one, the trailers seem to suggest that the Four Horsemen remain the same until at least the movie's climactic set-piece, and secondly, this could be too much to cram into one movie (even if it does run close to 150 minutes).

Dark Phoenix will almost certainly happen sometime down the line, but if Apocalypse's job is to establish a new trilogy of X-Men movies, then there's plenty of time to set that storyline up in the next film.
