"X-Men: Apocalypse" director Bryan Singer has posted an Instagram video, featuring Storm's Cairo apartment. It was revealed that the superhero movie used the same bar set from Roland Emmerich's 2015 film "Stonewall" to build the mutant's place. Singer's upcoming film is slated to open in cinemas next summer.
Bryan Singer never fails to update the fans of "X-Men: Apocalypse" through his super active Instagram account. Recently, the director has treated them again with another behind-the-scene freebie from the set of his upcoming movie that was constructed in Montreal. This time, it is a short clip featuring the shabby apartment set in Cairo, Egypt that the weather-controlling mutant known as Storm calls home in 1983.
The 49-year-old director acknowledged director Roland Emmerich in the caption, saying that the apartment was actually made of the remaining bar set from "Stonewall". The movie is the "Independence Day" helmer's upcoming drama flick that is due out this September. Prior to the video, Singer has already teased a few stills, showing the different part of his "X-Men: Apocalypse" Egyptian set. How much filming left in the Montreal set is yet to be known though. But the fans do not need to worry because Singer will definitely keep them posted.
Set 10 years after the events of "X-Men: Days of the Future Past", "X-Men: Apocalypse" centers on the titular villain who is assembling his Four Horsemen. As previously reported, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult are set to lead the cast of X-Men: Apocalypse as Magneto, Professor X, Mystique, and Beast. The film will also see the return of Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, Lucas Till as Havok and newcomers Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Ben Hardy as Angel, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Olivia Munn as Psylocke and Lana Condor as Jubilee. Oscar Isaac is starring as the film's title antagonist.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" is said to be the conclusion of a trilogy which started with "X-Men: First Class" and continued with "X-Men: Days of the Future Past". Simon Kinberg penned the screenplay from a treatment he scripted with "X2: X-Men United" writers Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris.
The eighth installment of the "X-Men" franchise is set for release on May 27, 2016.
