We’re a little over a week away from the release ofX-Men: Apocalypse, but we’re being offered yet another tease of the highly anticipated 80s-setX-Mensequel by way of some new images and EW’s latest covers. The trailers thus far have promised a positively epic follow-up toX-Men: Days of Future Past, and despite somenot-so-glowing reviews, I remain curious to see how directorBryan Singerintends to introduce these younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler and simultaneously address the further arcs of Charles, Erik, Raven, and Hank.
As you can see in these photos, the 80s aesthetic offers Singer a more colorful palette thanDays of Future Past, and I quite like the makeup and look they settled on forKodi Smit-McPhee’s Nightcrawler. But these images aren’t the onlyApocalypse-related material to hit today: Fox also released a neat tie-in video that serves as a recruitment piece for Charles Xavier’s School for the Gifted. It’s fronted byLana Candor’s Jubilee and made to look like it came straight from a VHS tape in your homeroom class.
