The 'new' X-Men universe is just so damn good.
I think they misfired a bit in Apocalypse but the casting and characters are still just outstanding. Sadly, this cast is starting to either age out or just get a little too damn famous so it will probably crater right about the time the Avengers universe does, but so long as Fassbender and McAvoy are in these, each one of them has a chance to be outstanding.

I guess there are multiple earths and dimensions and stuff now so I have no idea about anything that happened after the early 90s, but this is all right in my wheelhouse so I'm pretty damn excited to see it.

Taylor Kitsch played him, IIRC. Yeah, he's an interesting character but he's also such a tonal shift. And him and quicksilver are a bit of a redundancy in terms of lightening the mood. I just don't think they need him or could use him well without the movie feeling overstuffed.

Which X-Men movies qualify as "the new ones"?

The Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult movies.
I think those 4 are the exclusive through-put; they've been in each of them. And theoretically "Age of Future Past" did the same soft reboot for the previous movies (the Patrick Stewart ones) that the Chris Pine Star Trek reboot did with their 'Kelvin Timeline'. So Jean hasn't dropped a lake on Cyclops in this universe, etc....

I loved the first 2 but HATED Apocalypse. I'm sure I'll see it again but refused to re-watch since the theaters. The Apocalypse character was a shell of himself in the comics, and didn't seem like the movie overall really accomplished anything.
