"Let's go to war."
Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique is ready to battle Apocalypse and the Four Horsemen in the new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. The main villain (Oscar Isaac), who also happens to be the world's oldest mutant, wakes up and becomes disillusioned with the world as it presently is. He recruits four followers to help him cleanse mankind and start a new world order with him at the helm.
Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Archangel (Ben Hardy), Psylocke (Olivia Munn) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp) become his team, and it's up to the X-Men to stop him. "We'll take everything from them," Magneto says, ominously.
But the X-Men are going to need some help, which comes in the form of new students. The newcomers include Lana Condor as Jubilee, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler and Sophie Turner as Jean Grey. The four students look to Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) to help them master their mutant powers.
It's Mystique, however, who informs the students that they're not going to be working on harnessing their powers anymore; they'll be using them.
"You're not students anymore," she warns. "You're X-Men."
As the X-Men battle the Four Horsemen and Apocalypse, there looks to be a ton of death and destruction, proving that this won't be such an easy battle for our favorite group of good guys and girls. Apocalypse has developed "a number of different powers" over the years that made him immortal and immune to psychic powers.
Director and writer Bryan Singer told Slash Film that Apocalypse doesn't view the world as humans vs. mutants. "One is that he makes no distinctions between humans and mutants. He's interested in the Earth as a whole and the purity of civilization and the strongest [beings]," he explained. "And secondly it deals with ancient mutantism, or the origins of the mutant state, or the origin of gods and religion."
X-Men: Apocalypse is in theaters May 27.
