'Archangel' Comfirmed In Latest X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Set Pic
We'd figured Ben Hardy would be playing the Archangel incarnation of Warren Worthington (he's aligned with Apocalypse after all), but this is the first time he's actually been referred to by that name, and not simply Angel. He doesn't feature in this pic, but a part of his wing does!
Sorry to disappoint if you were expecting an image of Ben Hardy as Archangel, it's just director Bryan Singer playing air guitar! But he captions the pic #Archangel, so is it possible he'd strumming one of the flying mutant's wings? In the comics the character can shoot razor sharp blades from his modified metallic forelimbs, so it might be one of those projectiles. We got a glimpse of Hardy as Archangel in the leaked SDCC trailer, and - granted, the quality was pretty lousy - he didn't seem to resemble his comic counterpart very much. Hopefully an official image is not far away.
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse also stars Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), with Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), with Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse) and many others. The movie opens on May 27, 2016.
