Comic-Con: 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Will Take Place in 1983, Reveals Close Look at Villain
Movie

The new installment will be set a decade after 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and has released a teaser poster and trailer highlighting Oscar Isaac's big bad character.

AceShowbiz - Some new scoops on the upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse" were offered during 20th Century Fox panel at Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend. Director Bryan Singer said the movie would take place in 1983. Posters handed out to the crowd put the main baddie front and center.

According to Singer, the next movie is set in "a completely different world" where society completely embraced mutants. "We also find our characters in very different places," he said. Jennifer Lawrence who plays Mystique teased, "I'm more Raven. She didn't wanna be the face of a world that she felt didn't exist."

Michael Fassbender who will return as Magneto said his character had "hung up his cape and evil ways." He spilled, "When we meet him in this film he's more of a simple guy. He's sort of living a normal life and has kind of hung up his cape and his evil ways, and that's where we discover him."

A new threat comes in the form of Apocalypse played by Oscar Isaac. In the first trailer screened during the panel, the villain said, "You are all my children. And you're lost because you've followed blind leaders. Everything they have built will fall and from the ashes of their world, and we will build a better one."

"This world that we have, it's not the world that should've been. God's just been asleep, and God wakes up and realizes what�s happened and says 'It's gotta change'," Isaac explained. Another new member, Ben Hardy who is tapped as Angel, said of the mutant he's playing, "It's like every angry, bitter thought I've ever had rolled into one person."
