Latest X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Production Still Features A Mutant-Controlled Owl

Director Bryan Singer has shared yet another image from the set of X-Men: Apocalypse, and this is the oddest one yet. Will Alpha Flight member Snowbird feature in the film? Possibly... but that doesn't appear to be the situation here. Click on to see what you make of it...

After that mysterious image of a youngster in a forest clearing surrounded by armed soldier types, Bryan Singer has released another head scratcher from the X-Men: Apocalypse set. As the director explains himself in the accompanying text, this is a "mutant guided incoming owl" - so what can we glean from that? Well, as I mentioned in the tease, Canadian Alpha Flight member Snowbird can transform into a large white owl, but she wasn't a mutant in the comics and didn't actually control animals which is what seems to be happening here. Do any of the other characters from this movie fit that description? Speculate away in the usual place.


Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse also stars Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Lana Condor (Jubilee), Olivia Munn (Psylocke), Ben Hardy (Archangel), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), with Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), and Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse). The movie will hit theaters on May 27, 2016.

Snowbird is a goddess not a mutant, so not her.

I hope they keep the cardboard on a stick... stupid CGI ruins everything!

Especially FOX CGI.

if they introduce Alpha Flight in this movie, my head will explode. It's already jam-packed with too much.

Mystique is a Horseman, and her enhanced abilities by Apocalypse allows her to become animals

FOX doesn't have the balls to do to Alpha Flight. Or even mention them.

I don't get this movie. I really want to love this movie. I hope I will. But so far everything they announce/release confuses me instead of intrigues or excites me.

Snowbird? alpha flight spin-off confirmed!! OK... maybe not, but a lady can always hope.

done right, she and the rest of the gang would be awesome as [frick].

but isn't alpha flight part of the x-men u regardless of mutant or no?

100% confirmation would be appreciated.

and if it's her she better be a smokin' blonde with black eyes.

I'd let her turn into a white ferret and chase my trouser snake if ya know what I'm sayin

@omegadagr0dd it would be a full-circle moment if that happens with his final film, and I'd approve.

it looks like the fox-men is finally wisening up to the meu shared universe strategy and if apoc sets up stories like that... I'd be in heaven.
