X-Men: Apocalypse announced for May 2016

I thought the trailer was better than the Captain America or the Bat v Supes one and as has been pointed out already the bald McAvoy reveal is pretty awesome.
 
X-MEN Age Of Apocalypse, :shifty: is the vibe I got from the trailer.

My A:AOU theatrical experience left me feeling a little burned so I must admit I am a bit nervous about this one looking so similar. I will need to be convinced it is better than AoU before I buy tickets.
 
Boy am I glad marvel does not get to make x-men. the trailer was epic very dark, serious and no doubt will have story and depth and not just be about silly explosion.

Loved the trailer. Loved Apocalypse's voice. I do think they were carefully editing where Apocalypse was shown to give the best shots, but I still think he'll work quite well (giant Apocalypse was the highlight for me).

There are plenty of explosions in the X-Men films, so I don't know what you're getting at.

As for story, if this was the MCU we'd be getting much better focus on the X-Men instead of the villains.
 
Great trailer, but Apocalypse still looks vaguely goofy. Look at him in that shot in the X-Corridor halfway through the trailer. Pause it.

I DID notice a shot of Apocalypse mass-shifting and growing in size, which is all kinds of awesome.

Not really seeing the "goofy."

So for X-Men we have:

Havok
Cyclops
Jean Grey
Nightcrawler
Jubilee
Beast
Quicksilver
Mystique
Xavier

vs

Apocalypse and his 4 Horsemen
Magneto
Storm
Psylocke
Archangel


Are there any other mutants slated to make an appearance?
 
That's exactly the shot I was looking at. He just looks like a guy in makeup. Apocalypse is my favorite X-villain and he should be this massive intimidating force... he should look like more than just a man. Preferably about eight feet tall :lol: It would have been nice if they at least gave him all white eyes.
 
I don't see any pupils in that shot.

Did you miss the shot where he was massive and pummeling Xavier?

An outdoor equipment company, the name of which I'm forgetting, accidentally leaked that they had designed gear for Hugh Jackman, so he'll appear in some capacity.

Psychic battle I believe

I still think having the tubes run down his head makes him look vaguely slippery and snake-like which is just weird for a character that I've always associated with grandeur and brute force. But Isaac seems like he'll do a good job, anyway, at least. I do really hope the size-changing is real, because if that actually turns out to be just some psychic battle, that would be really disappointing.
 
Chill. It's not out for five months, it's not like they've already finished all the special effect work and are just sat there with their feet up waiting for five months.
