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.

A new version of an original X-Man in X-Men: Apocalypse?

Ben Hardy (EastEnders) will play Warren Worthington aka Angel in the sequel according to Jeff Sneider of The Wrap via Screen Rant.

But the board is clear (to borrow inspiration from Xavier and Magneto’s chess games) since X-Men: Days of Future Past reset the timeline for a fresh start.

In comics Warren was one of the original X-Men who would later be transformed by Apocalypse into Archangel – one of his Horsemen. In battle, Warren had his wings cut but En Sabah Nur gave him metal wings which he could shoot knives and a blue skin as the Angel of Death. Continue reading ANGEL In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
