Entertainment Weekly has just unveiled the cover of their latest issue which features Apocalypse, Psylocke and Magneto from the upcoming movie X-Men: Apocalypse. It’s a great look at all the newcomers to the X-Men Cinematic Universe especially Olivia Munn as Psylocke who looks just like her counterpart from the comics. We also get our first, clear look at Apocalypse along with the new costume for Magneto in the latest installment to the X-Men franchise.
Entertainment Weekly has also revealed some new details about what’s to come in X-Men: Apocalypse. Confirming that the Egyptian mutant is over 5000 years old, Apocalypse will apparently make his presence felt when he awakens and decides that he’s not a fan of the Reagan ear. “It’s a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction, It’s one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling. That’s why he needs special assistants in this process.” director Bryan Singer tells EW. Those special assistants are Storm (who Apocalypse finds living on the streets of Cairo), Angel (who is part of a fight club in Berlin), Psylocke (who works behind the Iron Curtain for mutant-broker Caliban), and Magneto. He’s now trying to live a normal life with a new love in Poland, but when his world is “shattered”, Apocalypse apparently has little trouble recruiting him. So, there you have Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen!
Mystique meanwhile is now rescuing mutants who are being oppressed, including Nightcrawler (they don’t point out whether or not he’s her son though). Ravel apparently tries to find Magneto to comfort and help him when she learns what happens, and it’s that which sees her reunite with Charles Xavier. James McAvoy says of where we pick up with Professor X 10 years after the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. “He’s teaching people how to control their abilities so that they can work at a bank. But of course this movie challenges all of that.”
That will apparently lead to the focus shifting from the characters of the previous movies to a new group of mutants who are going to become the X-Men we all know and love from the comics. “This is kind of the introduction to them.” McAvoy says of the young versions of characters like Cyclops and Jean Grey.
What do you guys think about these details?
