Bryan Singer reveals via TWitter that X2 scribes Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris are back for 2016's "Apocalypse."
If X-Men: Days of Future Past looks as if Bryan Singer is getting the band back together, at least in front of the camera, its already slated 2016 follow-up, X-Men: Apocalypse, is prepared to bring the behind-the-camera talent that he assembled for X2 back into the fold as well.
Loving the use of Twitter as his way of unveiling new juicy info from the X-verse, Singer revealed in a Tweet early this morning that X2'sscripters Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris are reuniting with Singer and Days of Future Pastscribe Simon Kinberg for X-Men: Apocalypse. Writes Singer, “Late night X-Men: Apocalypsestory session. #SimonKingerg @DanimalHarris @Mike_Dougherty. It’s snowing in Egypt!”
Besides that helpful weather reporting, he also included this geek worthy image.
These two names should be well known by any superhero movie fan, as they wrote the screenplay for both the well-liked X2 for Singer, as well as scripted his take on the Man of Tomorrow, Superman Returns. Dougherty has also become something of a cult horror icon for writing and directing the new October classic Trick ‘r Treat, as well as its upcoming 2015 sequel.
Little is known about what Apocalypse is, but I imagine it will involve a big dude with an A on his belt. Just a hunch.
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23, 2014.
