Thats the dire situation on the set ofX-Men: Apocalypseon this afternoon in late May.
Now it fits like a glove, she says, and starts to laugh.
But on day one I was like, Uh, guys, do we have a backup?

Sorry, I popped my crotch.'
Im going shopping, he deadpans.
How can you top not only those epic earnings but also the scope of that story line?
At the same time, it has concluding aspects of those previous stories.
Days of Future Past ended with Raven (a.k.a.
Mystique), Charles, and Erik Lehnsherr (a.k.a.
Hes believed to be the first mutant, whatever that means, Isaac says.
He is the creative-slash-destructive force of this earth.
Think of him as a god who does gut renovations.
Its a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction, Singer says.
Its one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling.
Thats why he needs special assistants in this process.
But his big get is Erik, who has been attempting to live a normal life in Poland.
Hes fallen in love and hes basically left his metal ways behind, Fassbender says.
Pretty quickly, though, his world is shattered and normal is no longer an option.
Apocalypse finds Erik at a low ebb and recruits him, Fassbender says.
(On the upside, Apocalypse gives his Four Horsemen individual makeovers branding really is everything!
so Magneto at least snares a sleek new suit out of the deal.)
This instigates a reunion between Raven and Charles, who has seen his school for extraordinary students flourish.
Hes not teaching anybody how to fight at the moment, McAvoy says.
Hes teaching people how to control their abilities so that they can work at a bank.
But of course this movie challenges all of that.
That last battle is going to be pretty insane, Isaac says.
I mean, its like freaking Apocalypse fighting all of the X-Men.
Singer, now 49, says that he never thought about stepping away, nor was he asked to.
I love working, he says.
This is what I love to do.
Making films is something Ive been doing since I was 13 years old.
The studio seemed to think so too.
The idea of anybody else directingApocalypsedidnt enter our minds, says producer Hutch Parker.
Now, though, the X-Men team may be losing one of its biggest stars.
I love working with Bryan, and I love these movies, she says.
Its just the paint.
Now Im almost 25 and Im like, I cant even pronounce this and thats going in my nose?
Im breathing that?'
But shes at least leaving a crack in the door as she exits.
There is hope, she says.
I dont want to not be asked.
In the meantime, its best not to ask the filmmakers about her possible departure.
Theyve got more pressing matters to deal with.
I just wanna finish this movie and then figure out the next one, Kinberg says.
But I do think about the next chapters of these stories.
My hope is we can bring these guys back.
And if they couldnt?
Then I would adjust.
Or, like a mutant, evolve.
