It's been exactly 2 years, 5 months, and 20 days since director Bryan Singer officially announced X-Men: Apocalypse as the follow-up to his critically acclaimed blockbuster X-Men: Days of Future Past and the day we've all been waiting for is finally here!

With previews set to being at 7 PM tonight, Fandango has released another excerpt from their lengthy chat with Singer where the director teases some of the additional content we'll see on the Blu-ray/DVD release later this year, namely the deleted scenes. He starts out by assuring fans that while there will be plenty of deleted scenes to enjoy, there won't be any sort of alternate or extended director's cut this time around: "There will be nothing like the Rogue Cut or anything like that. I'm not a big fan of director's cuts or extended editions, I never have been. In the case of Apocalypse, I removed what would be considered a conventional amount from the movie to protect what we call the collective experience of the feature theatrically. How it feels pace wise and movement wise."

As for which scenes, we'll actually get to see, Singer teased an extended mall sequence with Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Jubilee that'll pay homage to a classic Robin Williams film: "There was also a significant moment that sadly I had to cut. When they’re moving through the mall and Nightcrawler remarks about the other people that “they don’t fear us.” And he thinks the mall is this paradise, and that was my homage to Moscow on the Hudson, when Robin Williams came over to America during the height of the Cold War and saw a Bloomingdales and thought it was a temple. But no, it was just an ‘80s mall!" Fortunately for us, we've already been able to catch a brief glimpse at this scene thanks to a recently released TV spot, but the full sequence should be a whole lot more fun to witness as we get to see more bonding moments between the younger versions of some of the most iconic X-Men.

He then goes on to briefly mention a deleted - *SPOILER ALERT* (highlight to reveal) - "farewell between Scott and his brother [Alex]," which is a scene that'll almost definitely strike a chord with fans of the Summers brothers. - *END SPOILER* - Also, in case you were disappointed by the lack of Jubilee in the final cut, Singer assures fans of the character that they'll get to see a lot more of her in the deleted segments, including a scene where we'll actually get to see her use her energy plasma-generating abilities: "We do have a moment where Jubilee uses her powers that you'll see on the DVD, I wanted more Jubilee." His reasoning behind cutting the aforementioned scenes along with others was mostly due to pace: "It's strange for the audience sometimes because they say, 'It's a good scene, why did you remove it?' But if you sat in a theater and watched it with all those scenes back in, it may seem good, but slow. And I don't want the audience to feel that." Sounds good enough to me.

So, what do you guys think? Ready for X-Men: Apocalypse? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Some deleted scenes still seem like they couldve been used to push the plot forward

I'm doing a double showing of Civil War and then X-Men!

LEVITIKUZ - 5/26/2016, 8:16 AM

farewell between Scott and his brother [Alex]

Where's the [frick]ing spoiler warning Josh? Wait Josh didn't write this. @KingPatel where's the [frick]ing spoiler warning?

You're as bad with spoiler warnings as you are with NBA predictions.

How about my Cavs kicking [frick]ing ass? We undefeated in the playoffs (when we play in America) & we kicked [frick]ing ass last night. How bout your GSW? They sure look good sucking against OKC. GSW are the worst 73 win team in NBA history.

LEVITIKUZ - 5/26/2016, 8:19 AM

Hey @WakandasSoul remember when you said the Cavs sucked on D?

Last night Cavs made playoffs history with the biggest lead going into the half.

Who sucks on D now?

@LEVITIKUZ - I'm really rooting for another CLE v GS final but the Cavs being undefeated in America? that's a bullshit accolade.

LEVITIKUZ - 5/26/2016, 8:27 AM

@Clark4President - No it's not.

We lost in Toronto. Toronto is in Canada.

So in the Playoffs, Cavs still undefeated in America where it matters.

MattBellissimo - 5/26/2016, 8:42 AM

@LEVITIKUZ - Last night was embarrassing.

But I have faith in a comeback for the Raps ;-)

Hehehe

AT3374 - 5/26/2016, 8:54 AM

@MattBellissimo -

Clark4President - 5/26/2016, 9:10 AM

@LEVITIKUZ - typical Cleveland sad sack fan, but I'm thankful that the Cavs get another shot at the finals.
