It may not be super-surprising but it's nice to have confirmation all the same: during the press rounds for X-Men: Apocalypse, writer-producer Simon Kinberg revealed that the next X-Men movie will in fact be set in the 1990s.

While Kinberg could in theory be talking about the aforementioned The New Mutants, this seems extremely unlikely, considering that the three prior X-Men movies have followed this decade-leaping pattern.

It'll be up to fans to speculate on what pop-culture touchstones a 90s-set X-Men movie could invite, and of course, who the team will end up fighting after presumably vanquishing Apocalypse in their upcoming adventure. Anything that inches us closer to reconvening with the X-Men in the present day seems like a good idea.
