'X-Men: Apocalypse': 5 Takeaways From New Trailer
"This is war," Jennifer Lawrence's character says.
— -- The latest trailer for "X-Men: Apocalypse" is here and Oscar Issac looks like he's owning his role as the very first mutant, who wants to tear down the world and build a new one in his image.
Lots of action here, so let's break it down.
1 - There's a Lot at Stake
Jean Grey, played by Sophie Turner, awakes to a dream that the world ended. No pressure X-Men, you just have to stop this all-powerful being and save humanity.
"Jean, it was just a dream," Charles, played by James McAvoy, tells her.
Wrong buddy. It's Apocalypse.
2 - Apocalypse Has Been Around for a LONG Time
"I've been called many things over many lifetimes," he says.
Then Rose Byrne's Moira MacTaggert explains that this being might be 10,000 years old and that he always has four followers - his Four Horsemen.
We see the likes of Storm, Magneto and Psylocke following him at the onset of the film and Apocalypse gives them extra power.
"He got that one from the Bible," Alex Summers says.
"Or the Bible got it from him," Moira replies. Oh snap!
3 - Apocalypse Controls Mutants?!
How can you stop a man who controls all the mutants? Well, Charles reveals that fact, only to possibly be kidnapped and taken by the Four Horsemen, which includes his old friend Magneto, played by Michael Fassbender.
4 - J-Law Takes Control
We get a glimpse at a very different Mystique, who, in the absence of Charles, takes over the X-Men alongside Beast.
"That's why I'm here, to fight!" she says. "This is war."
In one shot of the X-Men jet, we see her, Beast, Jean, Cyclops and Quicksilver all on the team now.
5 - Finally, Professor X Is Here
The clip ends with McAvoy sporting the bald head we know and love from the Prof. Nothing more to say!
"X-Men: Apocalypse" hits theaters on May 27 of next year.
