Oscar Isaac ("Inside Llewyn Davis") has signed on to play Apocalypse, the villain of the story which takes place in the 1980s and pits the younger X-Men against the terrible opponent. So terrible in fact, that the filmmakers have described the film as a "disaster movie" and the director himself has declared that "'Apocalypse' will have more of the mass destruction that 'X-Men' films, to date, have not relied upon".
The script has been written by Simon Kinberg and the cast includes Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Jackman.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" will be released in theaters on May 27, 2016.
