Watch the First Trailer for 'X-Men: Apocalypse’
The first trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse hit the web on Friday and promised that “only the strong will survive.“ Watch it above.
The movie from 20th Century Fox centers around Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse, the very first mutant, who was once worshipped as a god in ancient Egypt.
The trailer opens with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner seeing the end of the world in a nightmare. “I could feel all this death,” she says before James McAvoy’s Professor X reassures her that it was just a dream.
Her prophecy comes true when Apocalypse awakens after thousands of years in the 1980s and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including Michael Fassbender’s disheartened Magneto and Olivia Munn’s Psylocke, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order.
Raven, a.k.a Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to save mankind from destruction. Aside from the X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past cast members, the sequel also stars Kodi Smitt-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan, Ben Hardy and Lana Condor. We get a brief glimpse at a bald Professor X at the end of the clip.
X-Men: Apocalypse, directed by Bryan Singer, hits theaters on May 27.
