Timelines be damned!

No matter what the events of X-Men: The Last Stand would have you believe, Angel (Warren Worthington III) will apparently appear in the ’80s setting of X-Men: Apocalypse somehow as not-a-baby. This change to the original movie timeline is pushing even our time travel suspension of disbelief—and we’re Doctor Who fans—but in this case, we’re going to allow it, considering Angel was a founding member of the X-Men. Hey, more original X-Men getting involved seems like a good use of time travel liberties, right? Way to go, Wolverine.
