8 Burning Questions We Have After Watching X-Men: Apocalypse

X-Men: Apocalypse has now mutated into cinemas and has unfortunately received decidedly mixed reviews. While some are calling it the best movie in the franchise yet, others are singing a completely opposite tune and calling it one of the worst. One thing I think we can all agree on though is that the film does leave a lot of questions unanswered by the time the credits start to roll.

6) How Did Stryker Get Wolverine?

X-Men: Days of Future Past ended on an intriguing cliffhanger in which Wolverine was not captured by William Stryker, as per the established timeline, but by Mystique in disguise. This suggested several interesting avenues for the next film to explore. Instead, X-Men: Apocalypse ignores the cliffhanger and sticks to original continuity.

We know this because Cylops, Jean and Nightcrawler find Wolverine at Alkali Lake, having been captured by Stryker and given his adamantium skeleton. So when did this happen, and what did Mystique do with Wolverine once she got hold of him? Was she in league with Stryker? Did she simply let him go and Logan later ran into the colonel himself?

Maybe the Mystique in disguise as Stryker at the end of Future Past was actually Stryker in disguise as Mystique in disguise as Stryker?

Ugh, my head hurts just thinking about it.
