Raven Takes Command in Final “X-Men: Apocalypse” Trailer

After a twitter tease last night, 20th Century Fox has finally given us the final trailer for their forthcoming X-Men: Apocalypse.

The film, which is directed by franchise regular Bryan Singer, showcases the world’s first mutant, Apocalypse.  And upon awakening after thousands of years, the man who was worshiped as a god decides to recruit others in an effort to cleanse mankind.  Raven, with the help of Professor X, must build an army of young X-Men to challenge their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

The trailer is fairly story centric, though it refuses to shy away from the special effects.  We find ourselves face to face with many of our favorite mutants, even getting a quick tease for Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Sophia Turner and Oscar Isaac as the title villain, X-Men: Apocalypse is set to hit theaters May 27.

About Stephen Davis

Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
