Official trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse released

We now have an official full trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse and have a better idea of what to expect. Set in the 80's, the movie pits a team of young X-Men against their greatest nemesis, an ancient godlike mutant Apocalypse who chooses four mutants to be his 'four horsemen' and end the world.

The movie is expected to be the biggest blockbuster from the X-Men series, it includes another Quicksilver scene which took three months to film and is supposedly better than the one that highlighted Days of Future Past. The trailer shows more conflict, more battles and devastation as well as some hint of newer mutants like Nightcrawler, Angel, Psylocke and Storm. I also includes various Bryan Singer touches we've seen in past X-Men films but on a larger scale (breaking bridges, matter and people turning to dust). The movie comes to theatres on May 27.
