Speaking with Yahoo! last week, writer/producer Simon Kinberg talked about three characters that he wanted to add in Days of Future Past, but didn't get a shot to. The characters included Psylocke, Scarlet Witch and Cable.
"(Psylocke) is a fan favourite, and also a favourite of mine. We have a small part that she plays in 'Last Stand', and we talked about including her in 'DOFP' quite seriously actually. There was a version of the script she was in and we even auditioned some actors in Montreal. But we didn't feel there was enough of a part she would play in a movie that was already full of many, many mutants," Kinberg said.
"She has a cool power. I know Bryan thinks she's a neat character so there's certainly a chance she'll be in an 'X-Men' movie some day. Hopefully there'll be a lot of 'X-Men' movies and there's lot of mutants we're yet to fully explore onscreen, even if they've had cameos before. Now we're making more films there's a chance to dig deeper."
He also talked about Scarlet Witch who will also appear in Marvel's Avengers 2, as a character he wants to bring in to add to the family of Quicksilver in the film.
"When we made 'DOFP' there is a reference to her in the scene when they're at Quicksilver's house, but we ended up pulling it out because like a lot of things it had to be sacrificed for the main momentum of the film," Kinberg said.
"It's a character we all love, because everyone loves Quicksilver so much. The more we can do to explore his family, the better. So maybe."
Cable is an important character for this storyline in the comics, and it seems like he will finally appear in this next movie.
"We also talked about including him in 'DOFP'. I will say, we love the character, we'd love to find a place for him in these movies, but I cannot confirm or deny which characters will actually be in 'Apocalypse' until I read some spoilers!" Kinberg said.
