That would be weirder than not making them twins in my book (despite being twins in Avengers universe, stupid companies can't work together). So...I think your piecing together is faulty. If the younger sister "Peter" (feth, it's Pietro, Singer!!) was holding had green hair, I'd agree with your thought. So I'm gonna say probably not.
Rogue was the focus of a future fight scene when she is freed from a prison camp or some such. Also, Wanda is still his twin, just upstairs. Their mother says something to the little girl like 'go bug your sister'.
These are all from Singer interviews, had I the link on hand I'd post it. Take your doubt elsewhere.
I misunderstood the Rogue part: I thought you meant she had a big part in the next movie. Was calling doubt on that. Apologies. Sleep deprivation is a bitch.
And to the other poster: Rogue is Mystique's adopted daughter. They share no blood. She is Nightcrawler's biological mother though: Azazel is his father. I wonder when they had time to get busy before he croaked.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Somehow I haven't read any of those storylines.

I seriously hope they make a way to do the AoA story on film somehow. The bloodshed of that should rival the future death scenes of DoFP, if not exceeds them. It's my favorite X-story of all times. Needless to say, I flipped gak when WatXM cancelled right before doing it on TV.

I can't see them doing a movie about changing the future by altering the past right after doing a movie about changing the future by altering the past.

Me neither. Apoc might steal some people from the future, but they won't re-do the last film with a different antagonist.
He's pulled other attempts to do over the world as well. I would guess they just have him trying to do over the world, and the X-Men go out to stop him.
Spoiler:
The fact he had the four horsemen shadowed out behind him, in the credits sequence at the end of the DoFP, to me says he's got all the antagonist's he needs.
Watched DoFP last night, and it was a good film, not as great as the Avengers in my mind, but I sadly see too many holes when watching the X-Men films these days, but in all it wasn't too bad when you consider what they had to work with. (Singer's script)
Quicksilver's scene was possibly the best bit of the film, and in the top three best superhero moments in any film for me, which is funny as Singer threw him in as a response to Whedon's announcement for Avengers. he can say all he likes that it wasn't the case, but other info that came to light since says otherwise.
Really liked Blink, and in general the story wasn't too bad. Although I still can't stand Berry as Storm, Rogue is going to annoy me until the do her right, not as the character she was briefly at the very start of her run and before she had any kind of popularity.
Can't fault either Magneto or Prof X in either time period, Hugh once again is fine as Wolverine although I agree with him and would love to see him face off against the Hulk, sadly its not going to happen.
In all, like First Class its a better effort than the original trilogy, but I'd much rather it reverts to Marvel Studios in the long run.

FInally saw it. A movie with almost all the male actors I really like.
Yet my American gothic boy pyscho steals the show as Quicksilver. I really liked that scene.
And Xavier's plane of course.
Blink was scrumptuous. We needed more Bishop.

I figured that when Wolverine 'woke up' he was still in the same 'time' or at least, a very similar time, as he was in the 'future past' era (as shown by the holographic tech being everywhere). So, Kitty Pryde etc could very well be teachers, or, at least, tutors hosting a class or two.
There's also nothing really stopping elements of The Wolverine (which I still haven't seen yet), or the other X-men films having happened, but perhaps not worked out 100% the same way, allowing them to fudge things but still keep broad strokes similar.
Incidentally, did Apocalypse look a bit... weedy to anyone else?

yeah, though, to be fair, at that point in time he would still be a child. A lot of his abilities are derived from Celestial tech as well, such as his Size Manipulation. (I think that one is tech based, i may be wrong though.)
