Prof. Charles Xavier / Professor X

[edit]
  • [first lines] Mutants: born with extraordinary abilities, and yet still, they are children stumbling in the dark, searching for guidance. A gift can often be a curse. Give someone wings, and they may fly too close to the sun. Give them the power of prophecy, and they may live in fear of the future. Give them the greatest gift of all, powers beyond imagination, and they may think they are meant to rule the world.

Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto

[edit]
  • Listen to me, Nina. You and your mother will be fine, trust me.
  • My name isn't Erik Lehnsherr, My name is Magneto.

Raven Darkhölme / Mystique

[edit]
  • Lord Apocalypse, any minute now, We will start the war. But, you might wanna think that you're our leader.

En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse

[edit]
  • Elohim, Pushan, Ra – I've been called many names over many lifetimes. I am born of death. I was there to spark and fan the flame of man's awakening, to spin the wheel of civilization. And when the forest would grow rank and needed clearing for new growth, I was there to set it ablaze.
  • [to Magneto] You will reach down, my son, deep into the earth. Rip everything they've built from the ground. Wipe clean this world, and we will lead those that survive into a better one.
  • [having manipulated the launch of all nuclear weapons out into orbit] Always the same, and now all this. No more stones. No more spears. No more slings. No more swords. No more weapons! No more systems! No more! No more superpowers... So much faith in their tools, in their machines... You can fire your arrows from the Tower of Babel... BUT YOU CAN NEVER... STRIKE... GOD!!!!!

Dialogue

[edit]
[Alex Summers brings his brother Scott into the Xavier Institute, but a bandaged Scott bumps into Jean Grey.]
Jean Grey: [telepathically] Watch where you're going.
Scott Summers: [to Jean] I can't.
Alex Summers: [to Scott] Who are you talking to?
Jean: [referring to herself] Me.
Scott: What? I just heard you in my head.
Jean: I'm a telepath. I read minds.
Scott: Well, stay out of mine. I don't need some weird girl creeping around in there.
Jean: Don't worry, Scott. There's not much to see. [walks away]
Scott: [stunned at she calling him by name.] Hey, wait. I... I didn't tell you my name.
[Alex laughs.]
Jean: No, you didn't.
[Charles and Alex visit Moira]
Moira MacTaggert: Ever since the world found out about mutants in '73, there have been cults who see them as some kind of second coming or a sign of God. I was tracking one of them, they call themselves "Ashir En Sabah Nur". Named after an ancient being they believe to be the world's first.
Alex: "World's first..." what?
Moira: The world's first mutant.
Alex: I thought mutants didn't evolve till this century.
Moira: That's the common theory, yes, but these guys believe that the first mutant was born tens-of-thousands of years ago and they believe he will rise again. [shows the evidence] They've been searching ancient sites all around the world for clues. These hieroglyphs describe the specific set of powers greater than any man can possess.
Professor Charles Xavier: Do you think he lived in all that time?
Moira: Yes and no. They believe that he had the ability to transfer his consciousness from body to body and whenever he was close to death, he would just take on a new body. Some of these made with the bodies of mutants, enabling him to take their powers amassing various abilities over the years.
Charles: An all-powerful mutant?
Moira: Exactly. And wherever this being was, [shows the picture of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse] he always had four principle followers, disciples, protectors he would imbue with powers.
Alex: Like "the four horsemen... of the Apocalypse?" He got that one from the Bible?
Moira: Or the Bible got it from him? And wherever he ruled, eventually it would end in disaster. Cataclysm, some kind of... "Apocalypse".
Charles: The end of the world.
Ororo Munroe: Where are you from?
En Sabah Nur: A time before man lost his way.
Ororo Munroe: Well, welcome to the '80's.
En Sabah Nur: This world needs to be... [in Egyptian] purified.
Ororo: What?
En Sabah Nur: Saved.
Ororo: You can't save the world... just going around, killing people. There's laws. Systems in place for that kind of thing.
En Sabah Nur: [approaches Ororo] My child, why do you enslave yourself? [touches her]
Ororo: What are you doing?
En Sabah Nur: Making you stronger, my goddess! [imbues Ororo with power, turning her hair white.]
Mystique: Erik, Apocalypse will making a new down here.
Magneto: After what happened in Washington, I thought we're gonna come back to start the Brotherhood. I could always use to talk about but...
Mystique: Apocalypse wants henchmen, not soldiers.
Magneto: He thinks the best of people. He knows what is right.
Mystique: Correct?
Magneto: I think we should prepare for the worst. Maybe now you're back, you could help me stop the X-Men.
Mystique: We're here for revenge.
Magneto: [smiles] Right. As you wish...
Mystique: I think it might be some kind of revelation.
Magneto: Isn't it always...?
[at the rebuilt Xavier Institute]
Charles: The world's already begun rebuilding its arsenals.
Erik Lehnsherr: It's human nature, Charles.
Charles: I still have hope.
Erik: [chuckles] Oh, yes. "Hope".
Charles: I was right about Raven. I was even right about you.
Erik: What about the rest of the world? Doesn't it ever wake you up in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they'll come for you and your children.
Charles: It does, indeed.
Erik: What do you do when you wake up to that?
Charles: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul that comes to my school looking for trouble. [Erik nods.] You sure I can't convince you to stay?
Erik: [smiles] You're psychic, Charles. [begins to leave] You can convince me to do anything.
Charles : Goodbye, old friend.
Erik: Good luck, Professor. [leaves]

About X-Men: Apocalypse

[edit]
  • Oh. Hi, Japan! Deadpool here. Surprised? I just wanted to share with you my two cents on five things you may have missed in the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer. I know what you're thinking. 'An after credits scene for a trailer? I thought they only did that for movies', right? Well, not everyone makes it to the end of Fox movies. So, now we're doing it after trailers. Number One: This movie is set in the eighties and apparently, Apocalypse kicks Professor X's ass but forgetting to wake him up before he go-go. Number Two: Major plot twist. When Quicksilver discloses to Mystique that Magneto is his father and he's a fan of Canadian supergroup Rush. So many plot twists. Number Three: Fun fact. Psylocke is a hot looking girl using a super-powered katana and I'm a horrible-looking man using a katana. Twinsies! Number Four: Looks like they're introducing a Japanese mutant with ginsu knives coming out of his hands. Let's see how that goes. Number Five: This wasn't really in the trailer but important for you to know. The newest addition to the super-dysfunctional X-Men family, me, Deadpool comes out in Japan on June 1. I've definitely never felt power like this before. So, be there! June 1.
