Director Bryan Singer certainly knows when to up the hype. Timing it just right for Comic-Con weekend, Singer teases the titular villain of the highly anticipated X-Men: Apocalypse. On his Instagram account, he shared a video of a chopper in the middle of some type of destruction aftermath, and an image of the chopper itself.
Via the X-Men: News Twitter feed, Singer drops the biggest tease of all: a distant shot of Apocalypse. He also purposely compares the live-action counterpart to the one in the comics.
X-Men: Apocalypse has a planned release date of May 27, 2016 and will be directed by Bryan Singer and written by Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris, and Michael Dougherty, and will star James McAvoy as Charles Xavier / Professor X, Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellan as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkhölme, Nicholas Hout as Hank McCoy / Beast, Evan Peters as Peter Maximoff / Quicksilver, Oscar Isaac as En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse, Alexandra Shipp as Ororo Munroe / Storm, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as Scott Summers / Cyclops, Rose Burne as Moira MacTaggert, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler, Lana Condor as Jubilation Lee, Ben Hardy as Warren Worthington III / Angel, Olivia Munn as Betsy Braddock / Psylocke, and Lucas Till as Alex Summers / Havok.
