When it comes to character death onscreen--particularly in the comic book realm--recent films have been notorious for resurrections. X-Men is no exception with its very own Jean Grey and technically, Logan's healing capabilities.
Following the reboot for the franchise, X-Men has finally killed off a major character in the form of Alex Summers, younger brother of Scott Summers, and portrayed by Lucas Till.
As one of the main X-Men members since the First Class film, his death had marked a very different outcome when compared to the first batch of films. CinemaBlend talked to Till on what his thoughts were about his character's death.
"I thought it was really cool. I feel like people are always like 'Oh it's X-Men. It's X-Men you can always come back.' But I was like, 'No, I think it's cool that I died.'"
Perhaps one of the key scenes that actually made me feel a lot in X-Men Apocalypse is Havok's death. I've come to like Till's character in the time he was onscreen for all three reboot movies. And as much as his death was a sacrificial lamb of sorts, for me it feels like the death is as good as done.
But as always, the possibility of resurrection or unwitting survival due to mutant powers, Till also doesn't discount the possibility of seeing Havok come to life, especially since he wasn't seen physically dead onscreen.
Of course, a big chunk of that relies on any plans for the continuation of the franchise. As of the moment, the most that we're looking forward to in the X-Men cinematic universe is James Mangold's Logan, set for theaters on March 2.
