The shoot for the upcoming film 'X-Men Apocalypse' is in full swing. Judging by some leaked photos from production, the plot will take us back to the 80s'. Images have shown extravagant hair, pastel-hued clothes, a video game arcade, and a multiplex.
Rumor has it that the plot will also feature the continuing Cold War, US President Ronald Reagan, and the beginning of the internet. Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Nicholas Hoult are set to lead the cast - talks have been made about the new ones who will join them.
Known to fans as Sansa Stark for her role in 'Game of Thrones', Sophie Turner will be playing the young Jean Grey. Director Bryan Singer even released an official image of the actress wearing her 'Jean Grey' costume, together with the new Jubilee, Lana Condor.
Another character that's rumored to appear in 'X-Men Apocalypse' is Channing Tatum's Gambit, but nothing is confirmed yet. Producers are rebooting the character. It was first announced that the actor would have a standalone film for the same role.
'X-Men Apocalypse' will feature an important group of mutants called 'The Morlocks'. They are outcasts who decided to retreat to the sewers, because they felt that they could never live among humankind. The first member confirmed to join team Apocalypse is Caliban, an albino mutant gifted with the ability to sense other mutants.
Bryan Singer tweeted recently that Olivia Munn has been cast as Betsy Braddock, who is also known as the mutant Psylocke. She has psychic abilities, and based on the comic origins, she will obtain Jean Grey's telekinesis.
Indie scene actor, Oscar Isaac, will be playing the supervillain Apocalypse in the new X-Men movie. Young Prof X, James McAvoy, will finally be bald in the third installment - continuing his evolution into the Charles Xavier.
To conclude the trilogy, 'X-Men Apocalypse' is set for release on May 27, 2016.
