So the issue isn’t so much the romance — the X-Men stories are essentially super-powered soap operas and romantic entanglements have always been a big part of the comics and films — but what else might be sacrificed in order to keep Lawrence and Michael Fassbender as prominent players.

As for the rest of Apocalypse, we know the character who goes by the same name will make an appearance, and that the film will explore the earliest human mutants. Evan Peters will likely be back as Quicksilver, and we may see Channing Tatum as Gambit. X-Men: Apocalypse opens on May 27, 2016.
