Director Bryan Singer revealed Archangel will be appearing in X-Men: Apocalypse via Instagram.
“Always happy to share some cool stuff with my favorite film magazine @empiremagazine more to come on their April 30th issue.”
Ben Hardy (EastEnders) has been reported to be playing a young Warren Worthington. The film will have new actors playing younger versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm and Nightcrawler since it’s set in the 1980’s.
The reveal by Singer is clearly showing the Archangel version of the character. In comics Warren lost his mutant feather wings and Apocalypse gave him metal wings that shot blades and remade him into one of his Four Horsemen as seen in this image from X-Factor #86.
No official word on Hardy but the wings are definitely metal in the preview.
Apocalypse is an immortal mutant born in the days of ancient Egypt. En Sabah Nur (his real name) has corrupted X-Men Angel, Sunfire and Gambit into becoming his Horsemen.
X-Men Apocalypse opens May 2016.
