X-Men: Apocalypse Followup Will Take Place in the 1990s

As a reminder, X-Men: First Class took place in the 1960s, where the film introduced younger versions of several mutant players from the original present-day X-Men film trilogy.

X-Men franchise producer Simon Kinberg, who also co-wrote X-Men: Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, has continued to keep fans in the loop on the status of developing X-Men sequels/spinoffs, including the now-confirmed Deadpool 2 and the New Mutants film adaptation.

With this year’s X-Men: Apocalypse serving as the conclusion to the X-Men: First Class trilogy and Wolverine 3 set to bring the curtain down on Hugh Jackman’s run as the eponymous character in 2017, the X-Men movie franchise as a whole is on the verge of undergoing a significant overhaul.
