X-Men: Apocalypse International Trailer

[dropcap1]S[/dropcap1]o… we’ve had plenty to say about the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse film. The third movie featuring the “First Class” versions of our favorite mutants brings back the same actors and actresses representing Charles Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Beast, replaces a few from the original X-Men Trilogy such as Jean Grey, Storm, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Angel and adds newcomers to the film, but old guard to the comics such as Psylocke and Jubilee. After the first two movies of this class focused on mutants versus the government basically, Apocalypse features the figurative and literal apocalypse that may be brought on by the mutant who wields the very name. So listen, before we get too far into this shit, I need you do me a favor. You can be mad that this movie tramples the source material, but you can’t be surprised, yo. Okay? This the same director that gave Kitty Pryde the ability to send Wolverine’s consciousness back in time, which has no logical link to her actual power set of phasing through objects because they felt they had to make Hugh Jackman, once again, the focal point of the film, instead of her going back in time like the comics. So when people say, “Oh, they’re doing the Horsemen of the Apocalypse story,” I need you to give that the MLK side-eye.

Unless the trailer is intentionally misleading (quite possible), it appears that the Apocalypse’s Horsemen are Magneto, Storm, Angel (Archangel if you nasty), and Psylocke. I mean… 1 out of 4 ain’t b…
