Why is Ben not in X-Men Apocalypse


Why didn't Ben play Angel in the newest X-Men movie? He was replaced by Ben Hardy. Unless it's a new character and not related to the other one (I haven't seen the new movie yet). Do you think it was scheduling conflicts?

Days of Future Past erased the events of X Men Origins, 1, 2 and 3. The new timeline has a different Deadpool and different Angel. In the new timeline, Angel is in the 1980s, not the 2000s, whereas Deadpool is the opposite.

Night crawler is also younger.

Oh, I get it now. Thanks. I forgot how messed up the timeline really is.

Also he was awful as Angel. Didn't represent the character at all, was more of a wuss than anything.

Its turn out to be in his favour that movie was garbage.
