Charles & Erik
Aug. 11th, 2015 09:54 amThere's been a rumor going around that X-Men: Apocalypse won't be James McAvoy & Michael Fassbender's last X-Men movie: link. IMO, that would be rocking awesome. I know that most people are all about Jean Grey and Storm and Gambit and whatnot and whonot, but I don't give a flying banana about any of these characters. Professor X and Magneto and the endless push and pull of their affection for each other vs their conviction is the only thing that interests me because I find the juxtaposition endlessly fascinating. So, if these two come back, thumbs up from me!

Also, I think they're afraid of alienating the fan boys.
Interestingly enough, when Comics Alliance creates a poll about who Magneto should end up with in his Last Days, Charles won by a landslide!
