Director Bryan Singer is in full-on hype mode this week thanks to the continued press parade for the upcoming film X-Men: Apocalypse. In addition to the brand new trailer that dropped this morning, Singer’s revealed a new poster, and Empire managed to get him to break down the trailer.
The new poster features Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse staring down a crumbling human skull. As in, he’s the one doing the crumbling. Apocalypse, of course, is the eponymous villain of the newest installment in the X-Men movie franchise. He seems to have a silver-tongue personality capable of recruiting and leading several mutants both new and old — including Michael Fassbender’s Magneto.
Additionally, Empire spoke with Singer prior to the new trailer’s release about specific little tidbits inside — including a little bit about the mysterious character most folks believe to be Caliban, the recruitment of Storm, Jean Grey’s visions and the return of Alex Summers and his younger brother, Scott — who is apparently completely blind in this iteration of the classic Cyclops character.
