NewsThis piece contains potential spoilers for X-Men: Apocalypse.
Few comic book movies have as much business to get through as next year's X-Men: Apocalyse. Bryan Singer's follow-up to X-Men: Days Of Future Past will tie up the loose ends of the trilogy that was started with Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, whilst also presumably setting up the future of the X-Men movie univese.
A new synopsis for the movie has just been released, and as you're about to read, it looks as if the emphasis is shifting onto Jennifer Lawrence's Raven for the new film. Plus, read right to the end....
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
A team of young X-Men? That's a new franchise starter right there...
X-Men: Apocalypse is due in theaters May 27, 2016.
