AceShowbiz - While fans are eagerly waiting for the second trailer for "X-Men: Apocalypse", 20th Century Fox has debuted a new concept art, via EW. The artwork shows Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse, Olivia Munn's Psylocke, Alexandra Shipp's Storm and Michael Fassbender's Magneto, who is demonstrating his superpower abilities, causing a massive destruction around him.
Director Bryan Singer explained Magneto's abilities featured in the concept art. "One of Apocalypse's many powers is he can imbue other mutants with greater ones," he said. "Magneto is demonstrating a small taste of what he can do now. Magneto is already enormously powerful... Now Apocalypse gives him powers far beyond what we've seen before."
The conflict in "Apocalypse" begins when the titular big villain awakens after thousands of year, asking his Four Horsemen, Magneto, Storm, Psylocke and Anger (Ben Hardy), to help him initiate an epic annihilation in order to vanish humanity and take over the world. Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and Professor X (James McAvoy) are teaming up to stop the mighty bad guy from wreaking havoc.
The film also stars Evan Peters, Lucas Till, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Rose Byrne and Lana Condor. The follow-up to "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will arrive in U.S. theaters on May 27, 2016.
