Bryan Singer Announces X-MEN: APOCALYPSE For 2016 Release

Well, I think it's fair to say that none of us saw this coming! As you can see, Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox have today announced that 2016 will see the release of X-Men: Apocalypse. There's currently no word on whether the movie will focus on the original team of X-Men or the First Class bunch, but with Hugh Jackman committed to another solo Wolverine movie, it might just be a safe bet to say he WON'T be a part of it. Of course, stranger things have happened, and it may even be a spinoff featuring an entirely new cast of characters. We just don't know at this point! How do you guys feel about this news? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016!
— Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) December 5, 2013

No stopping the X-Men franchise. Fox's X-MEN: APOCALYPSE will drop May 27, 2016.

Best news day in a long time.

LucasMend - 12/5/2013, 1:29 PM

Holy Shit! I wonder if it will be on First Class timeline, Present timeline or both again. And I hope Singer stays for that or Matthew Vaughn comes back, not Gavin Hood type again please.

Reasonnnn - 12/5/2013, 1:33 PM

WELL ALL RIGHT THEN!

Ravenous - 12/5/2013, 1:34 PM

................................Is this a dream?

Alphadog - 12/5/2013, 1:37 PM

I was hoping that they would take their time and set this up instead of just going right at it.

ForeverPowerful - 12/5/2013, 1:37 PM

Holy god. Anything else this week?

Oxbow - 12/5/2013, 1:37 PM

Damn. call me Professor X, because I wrote Apocalypse as the villain for my oX-Men fan-fic...on this very site! That should be cool though, esepcially if we get more parallel universes and time-travelling. Age of Apocalypse, here we come!

BlackFlash - 12/5/2013, 1:38 PM

Just get Dwayne Johnson to play him, its about time someone puts him in a CBM.

It feels great being a fanboy.So much win!

tron21full - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

i am assuming First class is back, they signed for three movies

DanMcNice - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

OMG!! Great news!!

jazzman - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

good news

Enphlieuwince - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

Outstanding news, but, you've got to blind if you don't think this premature annoucement is not another strategic jab from Stealing Thunder Singer.... His latest completed CBM is months from being released and he drops this bomb?

GuardianAngel - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

OH

MY

GOD

!!!!

Who's Apocalypse? (I'm not too familiar with Marvel)

scoobyjas - 12/5/2013, 1:40 PM

I'm guessing they get to "fix" the timeline and when Wolverine wakes up in the future, he's in the the Age of Apocalypse!

Brainiac13 - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM

Will this be set in the 70s or 80s? Because it will involve the new cast.

ekrolo2 - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM

Let the bitching he stole another movies thunder begin.

harley2011 - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM

Nice, FOX, doing it right. Thankfully Marvel/Disney will not get their hands on Magneto and Wolverine.

deamon - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM

Yeess!!!
The Rock for Apocalypse, if not then Tony Todd.

themidnightking - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM

It's gonna be a slow news week next week

IDKwhatToChoose - 12/5/2013, 1:41 PM
