20th Century Fox are taking a big gamble with X-Men: Apocalypse. The last movie exceeded expectations at the box office, but if Bryan Singer's attempt to balance epic action with the introduction of a major new villain, several younger versions of familiar characters, and those who are returning from the First Class era fails, this movie could very well end up being more like The Last Stand than Days of Future Past! With any luck though, that won't be the case, and the new poster below certainly promises big things to come from the movie as Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen loom.
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
As well as returning cast members Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: Apocalypse will also introduce Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lana Condor, Oscar Isaac, Ben Hardy, Olivia Munn, and a number of others. The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016. What do you guys think of this tie-in promo for the movie? Sound off below...
