It’s the year of Apocalypse and 20th Century Fox just gave us a closer look at the X-Men supervillain’s Four Horsemen: Storm, Psylocke, Angel, and Magneto. After a thousand years, the first mutant to ever walk the earth, Apocalypse, will rise again to decimate the world and create his own race of mutants. He has enlisted 'four horsemen' to aid him on his conquest.
The best part of this trailer is hearing Apocalypse confirm his mission. “Everything they’ve built will fall. Upon the ashes of their world, we’ll build a better one,” the ancient mutant screams with a raspy, demonic voice.
"He's all-powerful and he magnifies all of [the Horsemen's] powers," Magneto’s actor, Michael Fassbender, explains in the clip. "He's decided to take judgment on the world, so he's gathered a team of mutants to wipe out the human race."
Hailing from Ancient Egypt, Apocalypse, known as ‘The First One,’ is so powerful that he may as well be invincible. He is a master of ancient technology and has a range of mutant abilities including telekinesis, flight, super strength, teleportation, shapeshifting and metal morphing. Professor X, Mystique, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Jean Gray, Beast, Moira, Jubilee and Havok will have to go up against the almighty Apocalypse. Quicksilver will try to save the world and his father (Magneto) before it's too late.
Worshiped as a god since the dawn of civilization, the immortal Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) becomes the first and most powerful mutant. Awakening after thousands of years, he recruits the disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and other mutants to create a new world order. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Professor X (James McAvoy) and Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) lead a team of young X-Men to stop their seemingly invincible nemesis from destroying mankind.
X-Men: Apocalypse premieres in theaters May 27.
