“Everything they built will fall!” First trailer hits for X-Men: Apocalypse

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

As promised yesterday, the first X-MEN: APOCALYPSE trailer has finally been released and, personally, I think it's a tad underwhelming. While this is only the first trailer for the upcoming film, it still seems to be missing something, and definitely isn't as awesome as the first CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR trailer. By the way, this is coming from someone who loved both X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, but I'll let you be the judge.

"I saw the end of the world…"

Synopsis:

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), 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.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE will be in theaters on May 27, 2016.
