At least 2 X-men appear in Deadpool just from the trailer. The mutant universe definitely overlaps.
That's what I meant, I just worded it badly. I was referring to the fact that it won't include MCU or Sony characters.

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.

This looks a little bit better. Still not really stoked about it, despite loving the X-Men. Not sure why, it just seems a bit bleh - too much like the worst parts of X-Men 3.

I get that vibe, too. There are just too many things being done wrong for this to be a good film.
Jubilee looks cute as a button. And yay, my favorite superhero and mancrush is back!!! I wonder how jacked he'll be this go around. God, I would love to be as vascular as him.
Spoiler:
Pretty sure he's on PEDs of some kind though
I have a bad feeling the plot is gonna suck something fierce. Too much Jennifer Lawrence and her bland voice. I'd rather not see her overrated self dominate the screen. How the hell are they supposed to beat the combo of Psylocke, Apocalypse, and Magneto? Seriously, who out of the X-Men except the Professor, maybe Jean Gray if she's lit enough, and maybe the Wolverine due to his healing factor and combat experience, have anything resembling a shot against those three?
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

I'm struggling to get interested in this film. Weird, when you consider that the franchise has been pretty decent so far, and the X-Men are my favourite comics superhero team. It sort of seems like it will be a decent film, but maybe that just isn't enough in the context of a world that has Deadpool's hilarious trailers, the incredibly tense Civil War trailers, and the weirdly terrible Batman vs Murderman (I kid, I kid) trailers to talk about?

Plus: Quicksilver is in it - so thats cool, lots of hot actresses - ditto, Psylocke - oh yeahh - the only thing better would have been Magik. Looks really good
Minus: Apoclaypse - one of my least fav villians -was hoping Magneto would kick his ass..........
Could be a good year for sups films with X-Men, Civil War and Suicide Squad..............

Especially in this current trilogy, the X-men movies seem to be something of a dark horse. First Class, The Wolverine, Days of Future Past have all come with minimal fanfare compared to Marvel and DC's offerings. They're all consistently brilliant, at this point they're a safe bet, which means they end up receiving far less attention than their competitors who still have something to prove or offer something 'new' (X-men have outlasted every other superhero franchise by several years now!) DOFP came out against Winter Soldier which blew people away, and Guardians which came out of nowhere to do the same, yet it's probably a better film than either (though they're all great), and now Apocalypse is being released is a 3-month period that has Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cap, Iron Man, Spidey in very close proximity... Wolverine aside, that's basically the A-list of comic book movie characters.
That said, I'm still looking forward to Apocalypse much more than Civil War... the latter will be great fun, I'm sure, and there's plenty to look forward to there, but Apocalypse is taking a proven and stellar cast from the last two movies, upping the ante of the whole thing, by the look of it it's going to be the X-men movie that most embraces the comic book heritage and style (though some blue and yellow costumes wouldn't have been amiss! It's the 80s, after all!)
Less enthused on this one as time wears on, but might see. I've no interest in seeing Civil War whatsoever.
Frankly none of them are making me giddy to see like Deadpool did or SS is doing.

Paradigm said it well. These movies are actually GOOD movies in this trilogy. The combination of an excellent stable of actors (even if you don't like Lawrence) and it being X-men and the directors/writers seeming to have a solid plan this time around has this as one of the movies I'm looking forward to this year. It's one that I KNOW is going to be good. I don't have to wonder or worry.
Unlike BvS, Spidey, and a multitude of other fantasy/sci-fi/hero movies this year.

So, the rumour has just come up that Taylor Swift has been cast in the film.
As Dazzler in a short easter egg during the film.
People point out that the as the film is set in the 80's, MTV... actually played music. So people are imagining some sort of segment where Jean Grey and/or Scott is watching her on TV.
