X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Bryan Singer tweeted a sset design meeting at Mell’s studio in Montreal:

What can we see here?

• It’s a long, straight building, with what looks like an entrance on the side.
• The entrance itself is kinda reminiscent of the door to Xavier’s underground facilities in the past movies but it looks like there may be steps there.
• It also has the same kind of hard curved lines that seem to me made for shiny metal.
• The layout to the side looks like a topographical map, like this will be near a lake.

At first blush, I do think this is an X-Men facility, likely the one under the mansion, but since it’s a massive build it would have to be McAvoy’s set, which makes sense, Xavier had to build it sometime. However, the map makes it seem like this won’t be under anything but a free-standing structure.

So on second thought this could be the Brotherhood’s hideout. Magneto has to set up shop somewhere and there was talk this movie might be more about him and his side of things anyway.

Basically, I really can’t see them doing such a massive build on anything other than these two things.  Even looking at the original DOFP storyline and the original films they haven’t really built those size of sets for anything else. Single rooms, sure, but a complex that size? I mean, look at it, that’s like the length of a strip mall at least.

But, like all things, only time will tell.
