They'll be in the SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} movie, as licensed crossover cameos. Rather than teaming up with Deadpool and Wolverine, their appearances will be more for RuleOfFunny and be metatextual, with Wade reflecting on why he can't appear in the MCU. If not this, then at least you can expect [[PanderingToTheBase Deadpool making some off-handed references to the MCU, dealing with fans' crossover requests]].

In the flashback in the beginning of ''The Last Stand,'' Stewart's Charles Xavier is shown walking when he meets Jean Grey, meaning that he was still using the treatment for his spine. In ''X-Men: Apocalypse,'' MacAvoy's Xavier will be the one meeting Jean Grey, but he will be in a wheelchair since he stopped using the treatment in 1973 in the new timeline. He will still end up looking and sounding exactly like Patrick Stewart, as shown in the final scene of this movie, but just when he begins to look and sound exactly like him has been delayed since he has used less treatment for his spine than he did in the original timeline. Alternatively, it may be the decreased use of his powers and not the treatment itself that causes the side-effect.

** Like Armin of the ComicBookCast said, everything in this series is basically about Wolverine, so something like that isn't too far fetched.

Quite a bit more plausible than Fox planning (and hinting at) an MCU crossover right away. Due to the success of ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', I can definitely see Fox [[FollowTheLeader doing a really similar stinger]] with one of the biggest, baddest mo-fo's in the Marvel Universe - who they just happen to have the rights to. Probably to tease their ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' reboot.

** Besides both directors saying they aren't the same character, they obviously have different origins. DoFP!Quicksilver gained his powers at adolescence and lives with his family; AoU!Quicksilver received his from being experimented on. It would also mean that he lost a decade or two since Peter would have to have been born in the 50s or 60s and would be over 40 at minimum by the events of ''Age of Ultron''.

* Parts of X-III will be retconned and given an in universe explanation, mainly professor X's death and Rouge losing her powers as both have notable roles in the film, the latter's powers being mentioned . Jean Grey and Cyclops's deaths look to be kept canon.

Similar to [[Franchise/TheTerminator The Terminator]] series, the sentinels would (or did) become self-aware and eventually go rogue and start targeting all of humanity somewhat like a variation of Skynet. The adaptation system given to them allowed them to grow beyond their design specs and detect all of humanity as mutant gene carriers.

ChrisClaremont originally wanted Mystique to be Nightcrawler's father, but censors at the time wouldn't allow him to do that. The movie-verse can get away with it, and it would be easier to do that rather than have her get pregnant and abandon the baby without anyone knowing.

[[WMG: No one sees Trask as a little person.]]
To the characters in the film he appears simply as a "normal," if slightly short, human man. Only to outside observers (the audience) does he appear as a little person. This is supported by the script having been completed before PeterDinklage was cast and those involved with the film refused to change it to reflect the casting, because it would be irrelevant.

* If Wolverine is really married in the new timeline, his wife is Mariko. In that timeline, Jean is alive, negating the guilty feeling he originally had over her death, and in a relationship with Scott, making him feeel free to pursue another romantic interest. The events of ''The Wolverine'' [[InSpiteOfANail still took place]] except that he was found at Xavier Mansion instead of somewhere at the Yukon.

[[WMG: Secretary Trask won't hold any high power positions in the new timeline.]]
The taint of being related to a traitor who sold military secrets to foreigners will see to it.

* ComicBook/{{Magik}}: Well, she's nowhere to be seen in the movie so far. But the spin-off will not only about her but also her brother Colossus. It's about time that they give this GentleGiant a bigger role in X-Men movies. The plot can follow the similar pattern with the comics, in which Kitty is also involved (and of course, considering that she seems to be Colossus' girlfriend in the new timeline). Also, I find it interesting if X-Men films has another TokenEvilTeammate EvilBlonde.

[[WMG: The alterations to the timeline in DOFP lead to the rise of Apocalypse.]]
In the original timeline, the Sentinel program prevented Apocalypse from appearing in the 1980s. Perhaps he was in suspended animation gathering his strength after a previous defeat, and the Sentinels were able to locate and kill him while he was vulnerable, or Sentinels caught him by surprise while searching for followers/Horsemen and injured him so badly that it would be several decades before he would be able to move forward with his plans, so he wouldn't face the X-Men until after the original trilogy. Since Mystique did not kill Trask and the Sentinel program was halted, there was nothing to prevent Apocalypse from making his move in 1983.
