The End Is Near In The First Trailer For X-MEN: APOCALYPSE!

Fifteen years in the making and with all other forthcoming developments aside, director Bryan Singer comes full circle for a film that will undoubtely ensue in the greatest battle our heroes have faced. The new trailer has officially arrived for X-Men: Apocalypse in the player below, (though leaked a few moments earlier on Friday) with a release set for Memorial Day – May 27, 2016 with actor Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-star Oscar Isaac in the title role as the imposing (and preferably lesser purple Ivan Ooze-looking) villain.

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped 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.

Also returning with a mix of new faces are Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Evan Peters, Lucas Till, Josh Helman with Olivia Munn, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Lana Condor and Ben Hardy. Watch the trailer now!
