X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Gets a Batch of New Photos
Empire has released a batch of new photos from X-Men: Apocalypse, and they may be the most boring thing unveiled about this film so far. The timing feels off; since we've already seen two trailers that show these characters in motion, it's hard to get excited about a bunch of pictures that aren't even that great. Honestly, their over-the-top magazine covers are better than these images, because at least those have some style to them. These are just...blah. But it's a slow news day so far, and I know a lot of you are really looking forward to this film, so I figured I'd pass them along anyway.
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 is set for release on May 27, 2016. Wash the boring taste of these images out of your mouth with the latest trailer below:
