The first X-Men Apocalypse trailer shows mutants remaking the world

X-Men: Apocalypse stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Josh Helman, and Ben Hardy.

He gives four mutants superpowers to be all horsemen-like.

Described by director Bryan Singer as the conclusion of a trilogy that began with 2011’s X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Apocalypse also features a large returning cast of characters from the previous films.

Whereas Days of Future Past was all about reversing the self-destruction of mankind, Apocalypse will see Charles Xavier and his crew face up against a mutant hellbent on eliminating humans for good. The announcement comes via ComicBook.com, who also spoke with “Extraordinary X-Men” writer Jeff Lemire about his title’s stake in the story.

“One of the first things I looked at when accepting the Extraordinary X-Men assignment was Apocalypse”. The fifth film in the series raked in $750 million worldwide, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing installment to date, so the pressure was on to deliver with “X-Men: Apocalypse”.

He likes to write a lot, as you can see. Today, X-Men: Apocalypse gets its turn in the spotlight.

This is admittedly a very low quality version of the trailer, but we’ll take all the X-Men: Apocalypse we can get.
