10 Things You Need To Know About X-Men: Apocalypse

4. The Movie Will Be Written By Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris & Michael Dougherty

We often tend to forget about the writers associated with bringing comic book movies to the big screen, sending out most of our praise to the directors, just assuming that they wrote the scripts. Not in this case. Though Bryan Singer is certainly the man tasked with bringing X-Men: Apocalypse to the big screen in all its glory, the script will be written by three other people: Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris, and Michael Dougherty. What makes these guys the right men for the job, you wonder? Well, Kinberg is well-associated with the X-Men movies, having produced First Class, and having written the script for Days of Future Past. Meanwhile, Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty wrote the screenplay for X-Men 2 (and Superman Returns, would you believe?). Which means that, yes, this makes one hell of a screenwriting team... and we expect great things.
