The Trailer for Bryan Singer’s 4th foray and 9th film in the X-men franchise is finally here!
The preview is opened perfectly with an ominous tone set by the lyrics from Snow Ghosts – The Hunted, and our first look at the new Jean Grey as played by actress Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones, Barely Lethal), warning of a vision of impending doom.
An ancient evil has awakened and threatens humans and mutants alike. (Haven’t I heard this plot somewhere before?) and wants to make a new world from the rubble (Definitely sounds familiar).
The difference here is he is the “First Mutant” and has been around for thousands of years and believes that all mutants are his children.
TOP THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF:
1. Telepathic Jean Grey/Sansa Stark
2. Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique is back, with the (Old) New Crew.
Seen from right to left are Beast, Mystique, Dr. Moira MacTaggert, and in the back rows we have Quicksilver? Young Jean Grey and Cyclops.
3. Nightcrawler is back!
4. So are Jubilee and Angel.
5. Quicksilver makes a Speedy Return.
6. Apocalypse
The Ancient one (no not Cthulhu). Apparently he can grow in size? This might be a catering to fans griping about his size in early photos, as Apocalypse is generally a gigantic behemoth. Unless of course, this is some sort of dream sequence..
7. The 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse
Magneto
Psylocke
Storm
Arch-Angel
8. X-Men, Assemble!
Jean Grey, Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler, Scott Summers/Cyclops.
9.Cyclops loses it, Again. (With no shades)
It’s like a repeat of an episode of Scooby Doo, where Velma loses her glasses and runs into the monster, but instead you shoot freaking laser beams from your eyes.
And finally, Number 10, what we have all been so eagerly waiting for….
10. BALD PROFESSOR XAVIER
Yes. Bald. Finally.
We assume he has fully succumbed to his treatment with his spinal injury and his powers having a direct correlation, choosing his powers ultimately over the ability to walk (as seen in Days of Future Past), but balding as a side effect, now resembling the Professor Xavier we know.
Honorable mention: No Wolverine.
Wolverine was actually one of the 4th horseman, the Horseman of Death.
Seeing as Hugh Jackman is saving his last Wolverine outing for the last Wolverine solo film, it’s sort of a shame we aren’t going to see him become Apocalypse dark minion.
Directed by Bryan Singer, with a screenplay by Simon Kinberg from a story conceived by Dan Harris, Michael Dougherty, Kinberg, and Singer, the film features an ensemble cast starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Sophie Turner,Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Lucas Till, Josh Helman, Lana Condor and Ben Hardy
