For the past few months, several names have been thrown in the mix for the roles of Ororo Munroe aka Storm, Jean Grey, and Scott Summers aka Cyclops, as the younger iterations of the mutants will be appearing in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. While those shortlists have shortened this past month, the director has just taken to his Twitter account to announce that actors Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean), and Tye Sheridan (Cyclops) have officially joined the ensemble cast. Shipp is probably best known for portraying the late songstress Aaliyah in a Lifetime biopic, while English actress Sophie Turner is known for her role on HBO's Game of Thrones, and the relatively unkown Tye Sheridan has been praised for his role in 2012's Mud. Anyhow, the trio join a mutant roster made up of Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, and Oscar Isaac, while X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27, 2016. What do you think?

Meet our new and brilliant young mutants: @Alexshipppp as #Storm @SophieT as #JeanGrey and @TyeSheridan as #Cyclops. #XmenApocalypse

LEVITIKUZ - 1/22/2015, 5:46 PM

This started out as a DC day, then Marvel coming with Chiwetel rumors, now Singer cockblocks dropping this.

Kurne - 1/22/2015, 5:47 PM

........

And yet Sony ends up taking it home......

Kurne - 1/22/2015, 5:48 PM

Whenever that may be.....

@LEVITIKUZ

Meanwhile at Sony:

LEVITIKUZ - 1/22/2015, 5:54 PM

HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA, MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! WHO DO YOU TRUST? Fox? Marvel Studios? WB/DC? They all are giving us great news and good projects (except for your FF reboot Fox) coming up.

And where is Avi with Spidey news?

HE'S AT HOME! WASHING HIS SPIDEY PJS!!!!!

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

LEVITIKUZ - 1/22/2015, 6:02 PM

I saw Joe.

I like Ty. Nic Cage was great in that film too.

This casting and the casting for Apocalypse

Now we wait to see who will be Nightcrawler...

TheDarkPassenger - 1/22/2015, 6:04 PM

Mmmmmm Sophie Turner...

ALegendaryPanda - 1/22/2015, 6:04 PM

I love all of these choices!! Especially Sophie Turner!

FirstAvenger - 1/22/2015, 6:07 PM

Not a fan of Storm, besides that great choices! Hopefully we finally get a X-MEN movie!

LEVITIKUZ - 1/22/2015, 6:11 PM

Hugh is no doubt gonna be in it as one of Apocalypse's horsemen.

I will say I do have one problem with this film. A noob X-Men team going up against the biggest villain in the whole X-Men universe outside of the Phoenix with Apocalypse.

Hopefully there is more because I don't want to see Apocalypse get beat by a bunch of meddling kids.

D3srow - 1/22/2015, 6:14 PM

This guys is Cyclops... he must be a great actor

Malakas - 1/22/2015, 6:16 PM

Malakas - 1/22/2015, 6:17 PM

@0megaDaGod
So, you are saying you haven't seen Mud?

GhostDog - 1/22/2015, 6:18 PM

I like it...I like it slot. All somewhat resemble the older actors. Mud was a greatbfilm, sheridan can act. Turner is obviously great on GOT. DON'T know much about Shipp but she's gorgeous. Turner as well

D3srow - 1/22/2015, 6:18 PM

@Reasonnnn,

I'm asking seriously here, I already watch those movies and I didn't reconized him, seems like a good sign.

Reasonnnn - 1/22/2015, 6:19 PM

@D3srow Now imagine him with a visor instead of eyes.

Wannabe - 1/22/2015, 6:19 PM

Was hoping for Taron, but Ty's fine too. I knew they would get Turner for Jean. Bankability and all. Not sold on Storm. Should have gotten Lupita.

@D3srow

Watch Mud. Kid's got acting skills.
