A new batch of ten character posters advertising the film have arrived, offering close-ups on the film’s main characters. And yes, everyone is looking straight into your puny, human soul.
But let’s take a look at these posters. From left to right, there’s James McAvoy as Professor X, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, Oliva Munn as Psylocke, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Alexandra Shipp as Storm. Not receiving their own character posters (yet): Rose Byrne’s Moira MacTaggert, Lucas Till’s Havok, Ben Hardy’s Angel, Lana Condor’s Jubilee, and strangely enough, Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse.
Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
X-Men: Apocalypse opens on May 27, 2016. You can peruse all of the new posters in the gallery below.
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.
