A new deleted scene, however, reveals how Summers got the visor — and that he could have gotten it before the movie’s final battle.
After several X-Men movies that mostly featured modernized, understated costumes for the mutants, the makers of X-Men: Apocalypse decided to redesign the heroes’ appearance with outfits that more closely resembled the look in the original comics.
The deleted scene is certainly amusing enough, even though it ultimately had to be cut as Summers didn’t wear it in the movie’s climactic scenes.
The visor, however, is clearly not as fashionable as his preferred sunglasses, but as Beast explains, “I went for functionality over form.”
