As the last installment of the old X-Men trilogy, X-Men: Reverse Future changed the history and pattern of the entire X-Men series. Director Brian Singer boldly restarts the timeline while also leaving the audience with a mystery worth investigating: at the end of the film, the eyes of the villain Straker who salvaged Wolverine turn yellow, which means that this Straker is disguised as a witch.
This plot sparked countless speculations among fans, but it was never mentioned again in subsequent films, so it became an unsolved mystery. However, recently, director Singh posted an old photo of the X-Men crew in Instagram and explained why such an ending was left in the end.
In the caption, Singer says , " I have to admit that this shot was added near the end of the film , and I ended with this to show that The Shaped Woman had been secretly helping the mutants , and that she had helped Wolverine , and that continued until X-Men: Apocalypse" (It's not just the age of the apocalypse, because until next year's X-Men: Dark Phoenix, The Wonder Woman has been helping more young mutants.) ）
Singer's explanation shows that the Shaped Woman has been secretly helping the mutants in the changed timeline, and she rescues Wolverine. But if that's the case, Wolverine ends up being captured by the real Straker and replaced by the skeleton of the Edelman alloy?
However, the current timeline and problems of the X-Men universe are very many, and after solving one, many will emerge, so everyone will have a normal mentality and take a look.
