We’re just a month away from the highly anticipated return of everyone’s favorite super-powered mutants in X-men: Apocalypse, and if their latest and final trailer is any indication,it looks like our heroes will be in for the fight of their lives.
20th Century Fox released a two-minute-29-second clip on Monday, featuring never before seen footage of the pandemonium brought upon by their most powerful adversary yet, the titular character Apocalypse, played by Oscar Isaac.

“Everything they’ve built, will fall. And from the ashes of their world, we’ll build another one!” boasted Apocalypse as he wreaks havoc together with his four Horsemen— ally-turned-heel Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), and Angel (Ben Hardy).
Amidst all the chaos and destruction, the video also showed Evan Peter’s Quicksilver hilariously acknowledging Magneto as his father, while Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) shared some screen time with the shape-shifting Mystique played by The Hunger Games’ star, Jennifer Lawrence.

The trailer, however, did not divulge if Nightcrawler is aware that he is the love child of Mystique and the teleporting-maven, Azazel—who was revealed to have perished in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Also, with Professor X (James McAvoy) apparently held captive, the X-men’s young core will be anchored by an unlikely leader, Raven.
The biggest reveal, however, came near the end of the video as a brief shot of a familiar looking set of adamantium claws, aided Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) against some small time opponents.
Wolverine’s involvement in the film has been questioned in the past after English actor Hugh Jackman expressed his desire to hang up his claws soon.
X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open in cinemas worldwide on May 27, 2016, with director Bryan Singer at the helm.
Jackman’s solo venture, Wolverine 3, meanwhile, will be released on March 3, 2017. Khristian Ibarrola, INQUIRER.net
