Report: X-Men Apocalypse to focus on Magneto & Mystique Relationship

"Have you ever looked at a tiger and thought you ought to cover it up?"

Bryan Singer's original X-Men movies showed Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) were quite close (as did the third, but let's not talk about that one, okay?) and we began to see signs of that connection in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class and Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. Given the title of the next X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, it's more than obvious who the big bad is, but what about the other mutants? Well, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming movie is going to put a strong focus on their romance.

According to the report, the script is being "crafted around" this relationship and they want to put the dynamic "front and center." How do you feel about that, Viners? Do you think there's a lot of potential there or do you believe other characters should be receiving more of the spotlight?
