'Jean Grey' Unleashes 'Cyclops' In Stunning New Photo From X-MEN: APOCALYPSE; Plus New Trailer Gets Classified
We have an awesome new shot of Sophie Turner's 'Jean Grey' guiding Tye Sheridan's Scott Summers as he fires off his optic beams. Plus, some new information on the upcoming trailer!
Marvel characters have really been on a roll to start off 2016, already picking up big wins with Deadpool and Captain America: Civil War, and they're in prime position to pick up the hat trick when X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters this Memorial Day weekend.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly's massive summer movie preview, we have a stunning new still from the upcoming Bryan Singer-directed epic featuring our new Jean Grey, played by Sophie Turner (Game Of Thrones), lending a helping hand to a young Scott Summers, played by Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One) as he blasts his optic beams at an unseen foe. The latest issue doesn't divulge anything more on the film's plot, but it does reveal that Sheridan has signed on for at least two more X-Men movies after Apocalypse, which is probably also the case for his fellow young co-stars - Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, & Kodi Smit-McPhee.
On another note, it looks like we'll be getting a brand new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse in the next week or so as the British Board of Film Classification recently released this classification for the upcoming trailer:
No details on when to expect the presumed final trailer, which clocks in at 2 minutes and 33 seconds, but it's probably safe to assume its release will coincide with the release of Marvel Studios' magnum opus Captain America: Civil War, which hits theaters May 6.
So, what do you guys think? Excited? Sound off with your thoughts below!
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.
