You almost had us, Hugh Jackman!
The new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse debuted Monday morning, and you're definitely going to want to watch it in full. Sure, the trailer shows more action, fighting and even some lighthearted humor, but it's the last four seconds that will leave your jaw dropped. Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) approaches Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) and Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and notices how busy they've been—they're surrounded by bodies—and McPhee's character explains they've received "a little bit of help."
All of a sudden, an arm appears and the telltale claws pop out of a hand—hello, Wolverine! He wasn't expected to be in this installment, but we're certainly glad to see him his arm.
The newest trailer goes into more depth about Apocalypse's (Oscar Isaac) backstory, telling viewers that he's been "amassing mutants to take their powers," but he's always had four followers known as the Four Horsemen: Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Archangel (Ben Hardy), Psylocke (Olivia Munn) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp). At one point, however, it looks like Charles Xavier (James McEvoy) tries to stop Magneto from joining Apocalypse.
"Erik, don't join them," Xavier implores.
"Whatever you think you saw in me, I buried it with my family," Magneto responds.
The X-Men are going to have the fight of their lives, as they have to defeat Apocalypse and his growing army. By the looks of it, they have a lot to overcome because Sydney, Australia, is already engulfed in flames. The students turn to Mystique to help get in fighting shape, but in order to do so they're going to have to "forget" everything they know.
X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27.
Were you surprised by Wolverine?
