X-Men Apocalypse

Apocalypse was the first ever mutant and the most powerful, being both immortal, invincible and worshipped as a god. When Apocalypse wakes up in the modern world, he begins recruiting mutants to erase the human race and create a new world for mutants only. These 'horsemen' are: Pyslocke (a "very lethal, very powerful and very strong" mutant according to actress Olivia Munn), Magneto, Storm (a mutant who can control the weather), and Angel/Archangel (a winged mutant).

Xavier has now set up 'Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters' and started accepting students such as Jean Grey and Scott Summers. Scott Summers is Havok's (aka Alex Summers) little brother and Sheridan said that his character is "angry and a bit lost". On the other hand, Jean Grey is a mutant who fears her own telepathic and telekinetic powers. According to Fassbender, Magneto has been living out in Poland where he has fallen in love with a woman and is trying to live a normal life. Whilst Raven has gone solo and is rescuing mutants who are oppressed or enslaved, such as Nightcrawler - who is a mutant capable of teleportation that becomes one of Xavier's newest students. Once she hears about Magneto's situation, she decides to try and help. Magneto's son, Quicksilver will also be part of the X-Men and seemingly part of Xavier's school as well. 

The plot seem to mainly revolve around Mystique and Charles forming the first X-Men and fighting to save humanity.

The cast will be as follows:
Alexandra Shipp - Storm

According to director Bryan Singer, the film will focus on the origin of the mutants, featuring the younger characters of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. He also said that he was considering Gambit and a younger version of Nightcrawler to appear. Nightcrawler was later confirmed to be played by Kodi Smit-McPhee with his character being the main source of comic relief, however Gambit has not yet been confirmed. The film takes place in 1983 and will end the trilogy that started with X-Men: First Class and is set twenty years before the first X-Men movies which were made in the 2000s.
