Latest X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Character Power Piece Focuses On Michael Fassbender's 'Magneto'
"Unimaginable pain, unbelievable power". En Sabah Nur's final Horseman is given the spotlight in this new X-Men: Apocalypse promo. See Magneto, AKA War (Michael Fassbender), in action after the jump.
It was hinted at all along, but the final trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse made it very clear that Magneto (Michael Fassbender) loses his family in the movie, and that's what ultimately leads him to join Apocalypse's crusade. This echos an old Uncanny X-Men comic arc, in which "Joseph" goes completely off the rails after the deaths of his wife and daughter.
Is there any way back for the character at this point? Check out some new footage and dialogue in the vid 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.
X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 18.
