This new poster gives us a very solid look at Ben Hardy's Warren Worthington III. All things considered, he's not too far off from the usual comic book depiction of Archangel. The only thing he's missing is a helmet, but the face tattoos almost appear to be tracing the outlines of his signature helm. Could a helmet materialize from the ink? Farfetched, but we don't exactly know the limits of Apocalypse's powers.
SYNOPSIS: 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.
Bryan Singer directs his sixth X-Men film for Fox, from a script written by Simon Kinberg. Singer, Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris receive story credits. Set in the '80s, Apocalypse is the ninth installment in the cinematic X-Men franchise. The film hits US theaters on May 27.
