From the beginning, we’ve heard that X-Men: Apocalypse would be all about the First Class cast. But apparently, the filmmakers are still saving some room for the original X-Men.
曾有传言称,《X战警:天启》(X-Men: Apocalypse)的主要演员将是《X战警:第一战》(X-Men:First Class)的原班人马;显然,制片方对该片的演员表还是有所保留。

In a new interview, writer Simon Kinberg confirmed that the classic cast would “certainly” be involved, albeit in supporting roles. Previously, only Hugh Jackman was expected to return. Hit the jump to read Kinberg’s comments.
在最近的一次访谈节目中,该片编剧西蒙·金伯格(Simon Kinberg)向粉丝们保证,《X战警》系列的几位主要演员“一定”会在《天启》中出现;而根据之前的消息,只有休·杰克曼(Hugh Jackman)会回归《天启》。

In contrast, here’s what Kinberg said about the X-Men: Apocalypse cast back in December.
不过在去年12月,他可不是这么说的:

[Apocalypse] really follows the ‘First Class’ cast. Meaning it is a sequel that will feature McAvoy, Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nic Hoult and that cast. It is not a sequel that would necessarily feature Ian, Patrick, Halle and the original cast. It would take place roughly between the past of ‘Days of Future Past’ and when ‘X-Men’ first started.
“《X战警:天启》将完全沿用《X战警:第一战》里的原班人马:詹姆斯·麦卡沃伊(James McAvoy)、迈克尔·法斯宾(Michael Fassbender)、詹妮弗·劳伦斯(Jennifer Lawrence)、尼古拉斯·霍尔特(Nicholas Hoult)等演员都将悉数回归;而之前在三部曲中登场的伊恩·麦克莱恩(Ian McKellen)、帕特里克·斯图尔特(Patrick Stewart)和哈莉·贝瑞(Halle Berry)就‘不一定'了。《天启》的时间点大概会设定在X教授(Professor X)成立X战警以后,电影《逆转未来》的主线情节发生之前。”

“Not necessarily” isn’t a flat-out “no,” but it’s pretty close. But that was before X-Men: Days of Future Past raked in $90 million on opening weekend and earned some of the best reviews of the franchise by bringing the old and new casts together.
“不一定”在当时看来几乎就是否定了,只是金伯格未曾料想《X战警:逆转未来》上映首周,票房就突破了9000万美元,而片中新老演员的精彩演绎更是为该片带来了极佳的口碑。

Kinberg doesn’t say which of the old X-Men stars he hopes to bring back, but he should have a lot of flexibility on that front. The events of X-Men: Days of Future Past actually (spoiler alert!) brought back some of the characters that had died in the original trilogy by altering the timeline.
金伯格最终还是没有透露他会沿用三部曲中的哪些演员,于是粉丝们又有的猜了。(前方轻微剧透,未看过《逆转未来》的亲请绕道)在《X战警:逆转未来》中,时间线在过去与未来之间不断切换,这使得一些在先前三部曲中已经死去的角色能够重返大银幕。

Moreover, the Age of Apocalypse storyline from the comics involves time travel and alternate universes. Assuming the filmmakers plan to go that route, it shouldn’t be too difficult to work in an excuse to bring back some of the classic X-Men, at least for cameos.
另外,在原著漫画《天启时代》中,时间旅行和平行空间的概念贯穿于整部作品,如果制片方仍然采用这两个概念的话,那么在电影中加入一些其他的经典角色——即便是配角,应该也不是什么难事。

In addition to the First Class team, X-Men: Apocalypse is also expected to feature appearances by Nightcrawler and Gambit. Channing Tatum is expected to play the latter. There’s no word yet on who’ll play the former (although he was portrayed by Alan Cumming in X2).
除了《X战警:第一战》中的角色外,夜行者(Nightcrawler,演员待定)和查宁·塔图姆(Channing Tatum)饰演的牌皇(Gambit)也将在《X战警:天启》中登场。
