New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Promo Video Invites You To "Follow In The Footsteps Of En Sabah Nur"
The official X-Men movies Twitter page has debuted an old school-style trailer for a fake documentary about the rise of the first mutant, En Sabah Nur, AKA Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac). Take a look...
As promotion kicks into high gear for X-Men: Apocalypse, a new viral video has been released. This is actually done in the style of a trailer for a fake documentary about the titular villain (Oscar Isaac) and his rise to power. It uses that footage the onlookers filmed during the Magneto/Mystique/Beast fight from X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and also debuts a creepy artist's rendering of En Sabah Nur.
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.
