Bryan Singer has revealed that “X-Men: Apocalypse” takes place 1983, 10 years after the events of “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
He said in this world, “Mutants are for the most part accepted and embraced by society.”
The filmmakers also showed the first footage from the film, compiled from about five weeks of shooting.
Audiences got peek at the villain Apocalypse, who’s played by Oscar Isaac. The trailer hinted at the threats facing the mutants in this film, a look at bald James McAvoy as Professor X and Sophie Turner as a young Jean Grey.
Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Raven/Mystique, also said her character is a little more Raven in this outing.
“X-Men: Apocalypse” hits theaters on May 27.
