"And what about after the two origin films? The plot of the trilogy? ”

Sif asked eagerly.

The DV camera in Serena's hand, like old Logan's eyes on Sif , made her dare not slack off.

Jamie chose to keep silent at this time.

Sif reacted and immediately took out a contract from his satchel.

"It's still the old rule, one million for a script, plus the planning consultation fee for the entire mutant universe, it's also one million."

The attachment to the contract had been sent to the email address of Jamie's lawyer, Jimmy & Associates, before Sif came.

Jamie left the living room to call Jimmy, and after making sure that the other party had read the contract and that there were no problems, he went back to the living room and sat down.

By the way, he also brought a whiteboard from the study.

In front of Sif and the DV camera, Jamie wrote the titles of the two movies "Wolverine 1" and "X-Men: First Fight" in the middle of the whiteboard, and after vacating the position of the third movie title, he wrote the titles of "X-Men 1, 2, and 3" in the lower left corner of the whiteboard.

"I said at the beginning that the timeline of the "X-Men" trilogy is too late, and the plot is very complete, and the story of the racial contradiction between mutants and humans at the core of "X-Men" has been told, which means that under normal circumstances, the development of the mutant movie universe will end at this point."

Sif was about to speak, but Jamie raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't worry, since I have received a million dollars from you in consulting fees to plan the mutant cinematic universe, it will definitely not end in five movies."

As he spoke, Jamie picked up his pen and wrote the title of another movie underneath the "X-Men" trilogy.

X-Men 4: Days of Future Past

At the same time, the vacant slots under "Wolverine" and "X-Men: First Class" are also written with the same movie titles.

Under the quizzical gaze of Sif and Serena, who was holding a DV camera on the side, Jamie explained:

"The plot of "Days of Future Past" was connected to the "X-Men" trilogy at the beginning, of course, some small changes needed to be made to the plot of "X-Men 3", Professor X and Magneto were not killed by the blackened Jean Gray, but were seriously injured and unable to participate in the war."

Sif just shrugged at this.

Anyway, the "X-Men" trilogy has not officially started filming, but only individual plot details have been modified, and not all of them have been overturned and restarted.

In fact, if the "X-Men" trilogy can be kept, it has already met the expectations of the senior management of Weststar Pictures.

After all, the actors of the trilogy have all been selected, and even the contract has been signed, and if it is overturned, Weststar Pictures will face huge losses.

In the previous life, "X-Men 3" left a small easter egg after the feature film, and Professor X's consciousness was attached to his twin brother, who had become a vegetative person.

In layman's terms, Professor X took away his twin brother.

This also reflects the ambivalence of the producers at the time, on the one hand, they wanted to give the "X-Men" trilogy a real finale, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to resurrect Professor X, leaving room for filming a sequel.

This is the same as the current situation where Weststar Pictures does not want to give up the "X-Men" trilogy, and wants to follow the trend to build a mutant cinematic universe.

Jamie's voice continued to ring.

"After the end of the X-Men 3 war, mutants and humans did not coexist peacefully, on the contrary, humans developed sentinel robots that slaughtered mutants, and Professor X and Magneto teamed up to prevent the genocide of mutants by humans, and finally they came up with a solution."

"Using the Phantom Cat Kitty's special abilities, teleport Wolverine's consciousness back into his body in 1973, find the young Professor X and Magneto, and convince them to join forces to stop humans from developing Sentinel Robots."

"Eventually, they succeeded, and the sentry bots came to the door and slaughtered all the remaining mutants, and Professor X happily told the sentry bots who killed him before dying that they had won."

Speaking of which, Jamie took a special look at Sif and Serena with a DV camera.

"You must be wondering why future mutants have not escaped extinction since the Sentinel Project that began in 1973 has been stopped."

"This involves the theory of quantum physics, where Wolverine's consciousness goes back in time and prevents the development of the Sentinel Robot, thus splitting a new timeline that takes place in the old timeline."

"In this timeline, they can't change the fate of the mutants being exterminated, they can only go back to the past and split a new timeline so that the mutants can continue to survive."

Sif had eyes shining and blurted out:

"This allows the story to start all over again in 1973, and at the same time perfectly solves the problem that the new story and the current X-Men trilogy cannot coexist."

"Jamie, you're such a genius!"

Seeing Sif looking at her boyfriend so excitedly and adoringly, Serena suddenly felt a little taken aback and deliberately diverted the topic.

"So I'm a little impatient about what's going on in the new timeline."

Jamie sells a deal to his girlfriend and says that this time the X-Men will face a very terrifying enemy.

At this point, Sif suddenly spoke.

"What about Deadpool? If we can, we'd like to add Deadpool to the new timeline of the mutant cinematic universe as well. ”

After saying that, she looked at Jamie expectantly.

"Is that okay?"

This slightly ambiguous gaze made Serena more and more unhappy, and she replied directly for her boyfriend:

"The plot of 'Deadpool' is completely separate from the story of 'X-Men', and if I'm not mistaken, it was a request from Westar Pictures at the time."

"And in the "Wolverine" origin movie, Deadpool has been killed by Wolverine as a villain."

Sif retorted point by point:

"The plot of "X-Men 3" can be modified, and the plot of "Wolverine" can also be modified."

"And it's actually okay not to modify it, the experience after 1973 in "Wolverine" is a story that takes place in the old timeline, "Reversal of the Future" opens a new timeline, and it makes sense that Deadpool's related plot will change."

"Most importantly, if the story of 'Deadpool' can successfully join the mutant universe, Weststar Pictures is willing to pay Jamie an additional half a million dollars in consulting fees."

Add money and that's no problem.

Serena interjects to stop Sif from continuing to "wink" at Jamie.

Now that her goal has been achieved, she has also turned back into the quiet cameraman she used to be, and has returned the decision to her boyfriend.

"No problem, Deadpool's story can be set in a new timeline, with some X-Men crossovers."

As he spoke, Jamie picked up his pen and wrote the titles of the three movies "Deadpool 1", "Deadpool 2", and "X-Men: Apocalypse" on the right side of the whiteboard, parallel to the "X-Men" trilogy.

Explain as you write.

At the end of the story of "Deadpool 2", Deadpool took the time and space travel device of the villain cable, traveled to different timelines in the past, saved his wife and teammates, and traveled to the timeline of "Wolverine" by the way, and killed the defeated Deadpool who was gagged before Wolverine.

Before leaving, he specially said hello to Wolverine, saying that he was just coming to clean up the timeline.

There is also a highlight in the time-traveling easter egg at the end of "Deadpool 2" in the previous life, that is, Deadpool travels to a certain timeline and shoots Ryan Reynolds who is reading the script of "Green Lantern" with one shot.

In this life, when writing the script of "Deadpool 1", Jamie also recommended Ryan Reynolds to Weststar Pictures, but because Westar did not move forward with the project for a long time, the matter came to an end.

And at the moment, Ryan Reynolds has not yet played "Green Lantern", so this easter egg can only be abandoned.

However, it is important for Deadpool to take the cable time-travel device, and Jamie plans to use this to lure out the big boss of Apocalypse.

As Deadpool travels through different timelines, he discovers that for most of the timelines, the X-Men encounter an extremely terrifying enemy, Apocalypse.

After returning to the normal timeline, Deadpool tells Professor X the news.

At the same time, Jamie also made some detailed changes to the story of "X-Men: Apocalypse", the most important of which was the deletion of the character of Jeangree.

In his previous life, the casting of Jean Gray in "X-Men: Apocalypse" was very unpleasant, and the bad ending of "Dark Phoenix" made Jamie's impression of this character very bad.

Especially the biggest slot in the plot of "X-Men: Apocalypse", the last X-Men and Apocalypse Armageddon.

Professor X fights Apocalypse in the Consciousness World, and Magneto fights the other X-Men and Apocalypse in reality.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and in the end, Jean Gray burst out with the power of the phoenix, and in one fell swoop, he killed the apocalypse that other mutants couldn't beat for half a day.

Although in the comic book setting, Dark Phoenix does have the strength of an instantaneous apocalypse, but the movie is very mentally retarded when it is filmed like this.

It's like the Avengers went through all kinds of twists and turns against Thanos, but Captain Marvel fell from the sky and raised his hand to destroy Thanos, who had collected all six gems, which made people speechless.

The main reason for the setting of "Apocalypse" is that the screenwriter is lazy, or that the apocalypse was designed too strong in the front, which made it impossible to make up the back, so he could only sacrifice the power of the phoenix to destroy the apocalypse.

This also made the previous efforts of Professor X and Magneto to fight against the apocalypse useless.

Of course, to remove such an important role, Jamie must say hello to Sif in advance.

His explanation is that in the old timeline trilogy, Jean Gray has been blackened into the final villain and killed, and it will be boring to repeat this story and character setting in the new timeline.

Jamie's removal of Jean Gray from the story of Apocalypse also rewrites the ending.

In the new story, the new body coveted by Apocalypse is no longer Professor X, but Deadpool, who has an immortal body.

In the end, after everyone worked together and paid a heavy price, Apocalypse was finally defeated.

At the same time, Jamie also imitated the image of Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and changed the character setting of Apocalypse.

Apocalypse in the original story is a flattened villain labeled a tyrant who enslaves humanity.

Apocalypse in the new story has a noble goal of building an ideal world ruled by mutants.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are no longer manipulated by their minds, but willingly follow the Apocalypse to build a new world.

In the decisive battle, except for Magneto's rebellion, the other three Apocalypse Knights were all killed.

Eventually, Magneto was killed, and Professor X, who had lost his best friend, exploded and briefly controlled the Apocalypse before the others worked together to kill him.

In the process of introducing the plot, although Jamie did not say it explicitly, both Sif and Serena could clearly feel it.

The story of "Apocalypse" is at least a phased plot, if not the finale of the mutant universe.

After this, the old X-Men abdicated and the new X-Men took over.

Jamie picked up the pen and wrote the name of the last movie in the only remaining space at the bottom right of the whiteboard.

Wolverine: Mortal Strike

The story is set in the years after "Apocalypse", and humans are not grateful for the mutants who defeated the apocalypse and saved everyone from enslavement, but on the contrary, they become more and more jealous of mutants, and more strict mutant isolation and extermination measures are implemented.

The main combat power on the mutant side was exhausted in the Apocalypse War, Magneto died in battle, Professor X suffered a heavy brain injury, suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and often lost control of his superpowers.

Wolverine was also hit hard by the apocalypse before his death, and his self-healing ability was weakening day by day, so he could only live in seclusion on the U.S.-Mexico border, taking care of Professor X.

In the previous life, "Mortal Battle" was the most successful and highest-reputation in the X-Men series, and Jamie only optimized the story background to make it better connected with the plot of "Apocalypse".

The final ending is still the death of the older generation of mutants such as Wolverine and Professor X, and the appearance of the new generation of mutants.

In addition to the film's protagonist Laura Ginny as Wolverine's successor, Jamie also arranged for Magneto's daughter Polaris to appear.

And the foreshadowing has been laid in "Apocalypse".

Magneto's wife and daughter were killed, but only his wife really died, and his daughter luckily survived.

The story of the new generation of mutants will revolve around Laura and Polaris.

At this time, a total of ten movie names were left on the whiteboard.

Five parts of the old timeline, five parts of the new timeline.

According to the release rate of one movie a year, a complete ten-year plan for the mutant cinematic universe will be formed.

The result was completely beyond Sif expected, and it also made her feel that the million-dollar consulting fee was well spent.

The "X-Men" trilogy, which has already determined the actors, directors, and scripts, can still be retained, but the filming time will be postponed.

The only one who didn't need to be replaced was Wolverine.

In the old and new timelines, Wolverine is the core character throughout the plot, and the candidate for this role, Weststar Pictures has also selected Hugh Jackman to play it early.

Jamie has no objection to this, and also recommends "Ichmei" and "Law Shark" to Sif to play the young Professor X and Magneto.

Sif promised to focus on the two actors in the casting, and asked Jamie a question by the way.

"Wolverine and Magneto's successors in the new generation are all women, is there any special purpose for such an arrangement?"

2023 is coming to an end, I wish you all good health and all good things will meet in the new year! See you next year (^^●)
