Final X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Character Posters Feature 'Archangel' And The Titular Villain
We were told that the final two mutants would be unveiled today via the official X-Men: Apocalypse app, and now one has been revealed to be Ben Hardy's Archangel. Who do you think the last one will be?
The official X-Men Movies app has unveiled one of the two final X-Men: Apocalypse character posters (you can see the rest HERE), and as expected, it's En Sabah Nur's Angel of Death (Ben Hardy).
Though his appearance does pay homage to some aspects of Archangel's comic counterpart, fans were disappointed that they didn't go full-on bald, blue killing machine. I guess 3 blue mutants in one movie was enough!
We'll update as soon as the last poster hits, though it can really only be one of two characters at this point: Jubilee, or Apocalypse himself.
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.
X-Men: Apocalypse is once again directed by Bryan Singer, and is set to open in theaters on May 27, 2016.
