‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Trailer: Oscar Isaac Brings About The End Of The World
By Angie Han/March 17, 2016 6:20 am EST
Professor X (James McAvoy) continues fighting the good fight with his team of fledgling superheroes, including the young Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), while Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is enlisted as one of Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen. Watch the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer after the jump.
In terms of years, X-Men is the longest-running continuous superhero franchise we have right now — the first X-Men, released in 2000, predates even Spider-Man or Batman Begins. But X-Men: Apocalypse will be a turning point for the series. Not only does it close out the trilogy that started with X-Men: First Class, but it’ll be the last X-Men film for Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman (though he’s still got his solo movie coming up), and possibly some of their co-stars as well. At the same time, it introduces new versions of several characters we know and love including Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), and Angel (Ben Hardy). Perhaps it’s fitting that this film is the one that deals with a literal apocalypse.
X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27.
