While the last X-Men movie posed a lot of questions for the future of the franchise, according to one of the writers of the next one, a few of them could be answered, but some may still be hanging in the air.

X-Men: Apocalypse writer Simon Kinberg did a Q&A on Yahoo! on Friday and answered a slew of questions on the next movie that has had details held under wraps so far.

On the relationship of Michael Fassbender's Magneto and James McAvoy's Professor Xavier at the end of Days of Future Past, Kinberg said the two still are friends but Magneto will always be Magneto in the end.

"At the end of the movie [Magneto] flies away without his helmet, with the implication that he'll go off and continue to be Magneto in some form, but not be able to hide it from Charles, who'll be able to read his mind and track him," Kinberg said.

"There's a truce of some kind between Charles and Magneto, but there's a part of Magneto that will always be the Magneto we know from the comics."

As for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Kinberg said a lot happens with the hero offscreen that we most likely won't see due to time constraints.

"We don't see it because he doesn't pop his claws at the end of the movie [but like with elements of the story] perhaps how he got his claws is different," he said. "But he lands ultimately in the same destination."

Finally, Kinberg talked about the connection between Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique and the possible inclusion of Nightcrawler into the series again.

"Since Azazel was killed, does this mean that Mystique gave birth to Nightcrawler in the time between 'First Class' and 'DOFP'? All I will say is that ten years transpired between 'First Class' and 'DOFP', so anything is possible," Kinberg said.

"She's a young woman in her 20s going on 30s... and I will leave it at that."

X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open in theaters on May 27, 2016.
