''First Class''.
* Pretty much confirmed. In mid-July 2015, FOX released the cast list on its [[http://www.foxmovies.com/movies/x-men-apocalypse official website]], and Creator/HughJackman's name is not included, so ''if'' Logan does appear, his screen time will be minimal.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Charles and Erik will reconcile by the end of the movie.]]
As stated in the previous entry, Professor X will apparently develop into a more aggressive character in comparison to PatrickStewart's portrayal, so perhaps the inverse will occur with Magneto. (If the Onslaught prediction is correct, then a small part of Xavier's psyche could embed itself within Lehnsherr.) The only thing that that keeps these old friends apart is their opposing ideologies, so if they both reach a middle ground of sorts, why wouldn't Erik stay by Charles' side?

Creator/JamesMcAvoy reveals at around the 3min 45sec mark of [[http://ca.ign.com/videos/2015/07/11/daniel-radcliffe-and-james-mcavoy-on-victor-frankenstein-ign-live-comic-con-2015 this interview]] that Professor X will be more violent by the end of ''Apocalypse'' than the character we knew from the original timeline. [=McAvoy=] then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaCLeFEe-ak&feature=youtu.be&t=0m52s mentions]] that he "beats the [swear word] out of [Creator/OscarIsaac] as Apocalypse." The merging of Professor X's and Magneto's minds and powers may be the only way Apocalypse can be defeated, and a remnant of Erik's psyche could remain within Charles, which changes his personality slightly (i.e. Xavier is less pacifistic).

Jennifer Lawrence has gone on record saying that this is the last time she'll play the character (possibly because she's not comfortable getting naked on set after her nudes were leaked), so it makes sense.

[[WMG: The next movie will be set in 1992 and be heavily influenced by the [[WesternAnimation/{{XMen}} 90's cartoon]].]]
Continuing on from the above WMG. Going by the mutants cast so far in this movie, it does seem very likely that ''Apocalypse'' will end with a team very similar to the line-up of the 90's animated series being formed.
* Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Beast and Jubilee are confirmed to be part of this movie and will definitely be X-men by the end of it.
* Even if he doesn't appear in ''Apocalypse'', Gambit is getting a solo film, so its very likely he will be in the next X-men movie.
* Wolverine may or may not appear in ''Apocalypse'' (and Hugh Jackman is believed to be retiring from the role after the next Wolverine solo film), but there's no reason why the character (whether played by Jackman, or recast) can't appear in the next X-men film.
* So, between the seven of these (and Professor X of course) we basically have the entire cast of the animated series, except for Rogue.

Which, in this continuity, is created by Apocalypse, with the intent of weeding out the "weak" mutants so that he can gather the "strong" as his personal army. This would be appropriate, given the film is set in the 80s and the Legacy virus was originally used as an allegory for AIDS.

Alternatively to the above guess, Scott will play a much bigger role, and as in his comic canon story he will be forced by the events of the film to develop from a scared, lonely kid with no self-worth to a skilled, tactical genius leader with no self-worth. His first appearance in the film will be the Jack Winters story and the entire sub-plot will lead to the next film being based around Mr Sinister.

Bryan Singer apparently ''really'' likes the character [[http://screenrant.com/x-men-apocalypse-gambit-nightcrawler/ and wants to do a younger version.]] Perhaps maybe just a cameo with young Kurt performing in a circus.

[[WMG: Cyclops will die AGAIN in the film]]
The actors wanted to play him are relative unknowns, unlike those wanted to play Jean and Storm, which may imply that he will be pushed aside again. The character also dies in the comic version of Age of Apocalypse and it wouldn't really be surprising if that was the one thing the directors keep from canon. The next film ''could'' be Search for Cyclops though.
