There's been a lot of grumbling about the sheer amount of mutants that X-Men: Apocalypse appears to be cramming in, but fear not, because regardless of how many cameos the movie ends up featuring, the three who matter will be taking on well-deserved leading roles. "They’re as much a part
of the movie as our main cast," writer and producer Simon Kinberg says of Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, and Alexandra Shipp. "Scott is not yet the squeaky-clean leader. Storm is
a troubled character who is going down the wrong path in life. And Jean is complex, interesting and not fully mature. It’s fun to see someone struggling with their powers when you know one day they’ll become the most powerful person in the world." Director Bryan Singer meanwhile promises an X-Men movie very different to what's come before, and that's mostly down to the addition of Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse. "It’s a big monster of a movie. The stakes are so high and global and the villain
is so mythic. It’s definitely an X-Men movie, but it really feels different."
As well as returning cast members James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Ian McKellen, 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. That's one hell of a cast, huh? The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016.
