Shot mostly in Montreal, Canada, Bryan Singer's latest joint, X-Men: Apocalypse, gets its first trailer and it is a doozy. We start with Sophie Turner as Jean Grey having a premonition of death and then a rundown of the new X-Men as well as the new supervillain Apocalypse, an ancient mutant with various fearsome powers and an extinction agenda for the world.

We get glimpses of some new characters like Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops,  Lan Condor as Jubilee, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler and a brief snapshot of Quicksilver running. Rose Byrne comes back as Xavier's assistant Moira MacTaggert, we also see role reprisals by Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and a finally bald Professor Charles Xavier played by James McAvoy. Oh, we also get to see Jennifer Lawrence sans Mystique makeup providing the role of field leader to the younger set of X-Men.

Other interesting tidbits, this is the firs X-Men franchise movie with no Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, or at least not in the credits nor the trailer. Given the X-Men Apocalypse takes place in the 80's and most major character roles have been given to younger actors, it might make sense to recast a new Logan/Wolverine for future movies. Release for this film is set on May 27, 2016.
