In just a few weeks the mutants are returning and facing the awesome power of Apocalypse – an ancient mutant who is so powerful he has been worshipped as a god, and who isn’t impressed with the modern world. The final trailer is here to suggest this is going to be pretty epic.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. 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.’
It’ll be in cinemas on May 18th. [Read more…]
It’s just over a month until the Apocalypse! Well, until X-Men: Apocalypse anyway, and in anticipation, 20th Century Fox has released a set of character banners mutants old and new. You can take a look at them below.
Over the past couple of years, if there’s been Red Band trailer for a Zac Efron movie, you could pretty much guarantee it would feature him in a state of semi-undress at some point. Now we have one for Neighbours 2 which does offer some slow-motion Zac shirtlessness and tiny orange shorts, but it appears that Seth Rogen also wanted to show off his pecs (or lack thereof), as he’s equally topless.
The timeline may have been reset with X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of problems between man and mutant – or more particularly in Apocaplyse between mutant and mutant. Now a new trailer has dropped which suggests this is going to be one hell of a battle.
Things were pretty precarious for the mutants in Days Of Future Past, but it looks like resetting the timeline hasn’t made their lives any easier. An extended version of the movie’s Super Bowl spot certainly suggests things are getting intense, angry and destructive.
I’m pretty much convinced that if Zac Efron sees a script he likes, he tells his agent that he’ll make it, but only if they put in more opportunities to take his shirt off and show off his physique. But it seem that with Neighbours 2 (known as Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising in the us), Seth Rogen also wanted to ensure he could get his shirt off to, as you’ll see in the film’s first trailer.
