Although there’s a huge scattering of comic-book-based movies around right now, we’re also at an impressively exciting point in what they can achieve on the cinema screen and if the trailers are all we have to go by, then X-Men: Apocalypse looks set to continue the awe-inspiring trend when it opens in cinemas on 18 May.
Today’s clip ‘To Fight!‘ features Olivia Munn and Alexandra Shipp talking briefly about their characters with footage alongside that absolute all-star cast of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Josh Helman, Lana Condor and Ben Hardy, surely this has got to be the biggest X-Men yet?
Here’s your snippet from the Bryan Singer-directed installment:
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.
X-Men: Apocalypse opens in IMAX and UK & Irish cinemas on 18th May.
