X-Men: Apocalypse - First Official Trailer

The end is nigh in the first official trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse!

Apocalypse looks a lot better in the trailer than he did previously released photos. Either way, this looks like a fun blockbuster.

Directed by Bryan Singer, the film stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Sophie Turner, Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Hardy, Tye Sheridan, Lana Condor, and Oscar Isaac.

Here is a short 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 Xavier (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction."

X-Men: Apocalypse will arrive in US theaters on May 27, 2016.

Doomsday appears in the new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Still not sure about Lex Luthor, but it is exciting to see Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman teaming up against the devastating Doomsday.

The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain."
