“The final chapter of the trilogy”, we can read on the poster of X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006, the third adventure of the famous mutants in the cinema, presented as the last, but eventually will be followed by many prequel episodes.

• As we discover the ending to this sci-fi gem, we wonder how viewers managed to wait 4 years for a sequel.

The final chapter of the trilogy

In this feature film by Brett Ratner, Marvel’s superheroes face a new threat and a terrifying dilemma when they develop a “cure” to strip them of their powers.

This third film (which has an average audience rating of 3,298 stars on AlloCiné) was received rather harshly upon its theatrical release and is often considered less successful than its predecessors. The X-Men saga is probably still remembered.

If you have never seen The Last Stand, I suggest you do not continue reading this article to preserve the surprise.

Magneto loses his powers

In the final part of the feature film, a violent battle breaks out on the island of Alcatraz between Magneto’s army, which is trying at all costs to get rid of the human-developed anti-mutant vaccine, and the X-Men who are trying. to stop them.

At the moment, while leading the army into battle, Magneto is hit by a syringe of serum that was injected into the monster and, therefore, instantly loses his power, which allowed him to create magnetic fields around all things in nature.

Detached from the extraordinary abilities that made him a great conqueror, the “Master of Magnetism” suddenly becomes Eric Lensherr again, a simple, weakened and tired old man.

A real heartbreak for all the fans who have followed him through the three feature films. However, a few minutes later, seconds before the end of the movie, a small glimmer of hope returns to their faces.

A stunning final blow

Indeed, in the last shot of the piece, we see Magneto sitting alone in a public garden before a game of chess, in memory of the games he played against his archenemy, Charles Xavier. Slowly, as the camera pans around him, the character’s hand approaches the opposing queen. A piece of metal rolls imperceptibly across the screen before the end credits roll.

Did Magneto really lose his powers? did he find them Has it succeeded in combating the effects of the vaccine? Is he already plotting his revenge? So many questions that this mysterious sequence amazingly managed to raise in every viewer’s mind.
