X-MEN: APOCALYPSE's Post-Credits Scene Revealed
SPOILERS! Obviously.
Just in case you were wondering, yes, there is a post-credits scene at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse. Apparently this scene was not shown with the press screening that took place a couple of weeks ago. The post-credits scene has been confirmed, and thanks to Bleeding Cool we now have a description of what that scene will entail and the new sinister threat it sets up.
"We see a besuited man walking through the remains of the Weapon X clean-up programme, removing the blood, bodies and bullets. And a suited man retrieving vials of Wolverine’s blood labelled Weapon X. And placing them into his briefcase which contains other vials of differing colours. Slamming shut, it is labelled ESSEX CORP."
For those of you not familiar with Essex Corp. the man walking through the remains of Weapon X is Nathaniel Essex a.k.a. Mr Sinister. He is the world's greatest geneticist, who is capable of cloning, creating, enhancing, and controlling mutant abilities. In the comics, he was genetically mutated by Apocalypse.
I believe his involvement could lead to the creation of X-23 in the X-Men cinematic universe. Bryan Singer has pitched her to Fox as a possible replacement for Hugh Jackman's Logan after Wolverine 3. I'm curious to see how this all comes together.
