Bryan Singer will return to direct X-Men: Apocalypse and three favorite team members will be recast.
Singer signed on with Fox for the 2016 release according to Deadline and from this synopsis, fans can look forward to seeing younger versions of Scott Summers, Jean Grey and Storm.
The sequel is being scripted by Simon Kinberg from a story written by Singer, Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris.
“Apocalypse takes place a decade after Days of Future Past and is a seamless next step in the story. The altering of time has unleashed a new and uniquely powerful enemy. Charles (James McAvoy), Erik/Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Hank/Beast (Nicholas Hoult) are joined by young Cyclops, Storm, Jean and others as the X-Men must fight their most formidable foe yet: an ancient unrelenting force determined to cause an apocalypse unlike any in human history.”
This will be Singer’s fourth X-Men film.
Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur) was seen in the final moments of X-Men: Days of Future Past and considered to be the first mutant born in ancient Egypt.
X-Men: Apocalypse is scheduled for May 27, 2016.
The original five X-Men (Scott, Jean, Beast, Angel and Iceman) were brought into the Marvel Comics present in the pages of All-New X-Men.
