Check Out Some Concept Art Of Ben Hardy As ARCHANGEL In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
We knew that the former Eastenders actor would be playing Warren Worthington in the next X-Men movie, but now director Bryan Singer has (all but) confirmed that he'll be playing the evil incarnation of the character, Archangel. Take a look at some awesome concept art after the jump...
Though The Wrap corrected their initial error and reported that Ben Hardy actually would play winged mutant Warren Worthington in X-Men: Apocalypse, director Bryan Singer has now officially confirmed this... and more! While chatting to Empire Singer reveals (pretty much) that it'll be Archangel that the young actor will be suiting up as. “Ben Hardy is Angel – I shall confirm it for you!” he told the mag. “But he’s not a very nice Angel! And that’s all I’ll say…” That's okay Bryan, I think the concept art you provided below says it all!
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse also stars Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey) Kodi Smit-Mcphee (Nightcrawler), with Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), Lana Condor (Jubilee) and Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse). The movie reportedly starts shooting this summer and will hit theaters on May 27, 2016.
