Anyone know?
The reason why I ask is this: The next X-men movie (non-Wolverine Swan Song) is slated to take place in the 1990's. However - if the new 'cast' still looks noticeably younger than the cast that acted in the original X-Men, I think it will just make the whole thing look unrealistic?
However - if the next movie (storylines) takes place in say....1990, while X-Men I's storyline took place circa 2010-2015, then it makes things a bit more realistic in terms of how the characters looked/aged.

You're worried about the X-Men franchise looking realistic!?
Anywho, I believe the general rule is after the events of DOFP, we now have 2 timelines; one which has continued with Apocolpyse, the other is the original trilogy. So the Storm/Jean/Cyclops/etc. in the latest movie doesn't become the Equivalent from the original X-Men movie, i.e. Storm was born later/earlier in one time time compared to the other.
Doesn't explain how Havoc can be 20 years older than his brother and not appeared to have aged since the 1960s.
