New X-Men: Apocalypse Concept Art Reveals Something…Alien

Never one to not enjoy teasing his fans via social media, Bryan Singer has spent part of his holiday weekend by releasing new concept art from X-Men: Apocalypse.

While I may leave it to the most dedicated comic book aficionados to figure out exactly what we’re looking at, I have a sneaking hunch that it is En Sabah Nur examining the alien technology that would usher in his ascension to become Apocalypse—the world’s oldest living mutant with a twisted vision of “survival of the fittest.” Or perhaps it is what Apocalypse awakens in to usher glory chaos upon the Earth?

X-Men: Apocalypse picks up with our period piece jumping mutants in 1983 when a new malevolent force of ancient power named Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) is released. Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), and Beast must join forces when faced with this onslaught. They will also be accmpoanied by a young cast of heroes that includes Scott Summers (Tye Sheridan), Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), and Ororo Munroe (Alexandra Shipp). It opens May 27, 2016.
