Just like every Star Wars game or comic you've ever read (except for the adaptations.)
Um. That story was written before DOFP even came out. Given that DOFP directly references all the movies, even X3 and Wolverine: Origins... I'm pretty sure they are still part of the series.
Some Timey Whimey stuff happened. Scott is still alive. Jean is still alive. But since DOFP came out, none of the creators have said "yea those movies never happened." They've said basically, "some things have been kinda re-arranged". The X-Men still could have gone to Alkali lake, Jean could have still struggled with the Phoenix. Magento still could have attacked Alkatraz to get the cure. But not everything ended up the way it originally ended up. Not a big deal. No different then Marty McFly changing his life around a little through time travel. He still had the same parents, lived in the same town, on the same street, and had the same number of siblings.

It would appear that this creator essentially said it...
“We changed the timeline for everything that came after ‘DOFP’ – so ‘X-Men 1’, 2 and 3, even ‘The Wolverine’. So Jean was not killed in ‘Last Stand’, nor was Scott, and a whole lot of other things rippled…
But I suppose it's all dependent on interpretation (or hyperbole),
My hope is that Cyclops Will finally get his moment to shine in one of these movies for once. He's basically done nothing in all the movies he's been in. He's one of the most important members of the X-Men so please FOX finally treat him like one.
I blame the director. He had two whole movies with Cyclops and didn't do much. Sure, Ratner killed him off, but Ratner didn't write the movie and I find it hard to believe that was his decision alone, since one of the writers also helped write X2. They made Cyclops disposable.
I seem to recall that was, at least in part, Halley Berry's (or her people's) doing. She wanted more and better screen time (this being the same time when they were talking about spinning her Jinx character off from the James Bond movie where she appeared.
Ha! I remember that. I always wondered what happened to the Jinx spin-off.
(This was before I ever looked up behind-the-scenes Hollywood stuff on the internet)

You ever get the feeling that the people that start those kinds of stories are actually the publicists and managers for the actor/actress and not necessarily the studios?

He is?
It is funny for the bulk of my X-men reading from the mid 80s he was not even on the team anymore. So I am not one of those fans who thinks Cyclops needs a bigger role.

According to The Wrap, Chloe Moretz, Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld are being eyed for the role of Jean Grey, while Ben Hardy, Charlie Rowe and Timothee Chalamet are being considered for Scott Summers.
More unpleasant news, for some. It appears that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will be the only Professor X and Magneto around for this installment. Patrick Stewart confirmed that he and Ian McKellen are not expected to reprise their roles, even though Stewart had shown interest in doing so.
See his interview with Larry King on Yahoo! Movies where he explains. Looks like this, along with First Class and Days of Future Past are being considered a trilogy. I like that format and it makes a lot of sense. I just really like Stewart in the the role of Xavier.

I would've been more surprised if they were in it. I took the ending of DoFP as the original cast's curtain call (with the exception of Jackman).
We can't quite see if Apocalypse has the giant A on his belt. If it's there I'll forgive the rest of the costume. (As an aside, just realised that the classic X-Factor Apocalypse design is a man cosplaying as a Celestial, which makes perfect sense given his origin).

Selective reboot.

Days of Future Past was a rental and it was not very good
and this looks like a rental too
but I am going to Ant-Man TONIGHT!!!
On the positive side, Mohawk Storm!
I didn't like ASM, I dont need to view ASM2 in the theatre, rental, or FX to know the interpretation isn't for me.
