Bryan Singer Says 'X-Men: Apocalypse' is a "Big Monster of a Movie"
After the first look at Nightcrawler was released yesterday, Bryan Singer recently sat down and spoke with Empire Magazine to discuss X-Men: Apocalypse and talked about the size of the upcoming sequel.
"It’s a big monster of a movie,” Singer told the magazine. “The stakes are so high and global and the villain is so mythic. It’s definitely an X-Men movie, but it really feels different.”
Singer went on to discuss the inclusion of the 'young X-Men' that will appear in the film. “They’re as much a part of the movie as our main cast," he said. "Scott is not yet the squeaky-clean leader. Storm is a troubled character who is going down the wrong path in life. And Jean is complex, interesting and not fully mature. It’s fun to see someone struggling with their powers when you know one day they’ll become the most powerful person in the world.”
Apocalypse is the conclusion of a trilogy that started with X-Men: First Class and continued with X-Men: Days of Future Past. Bryan Singer directs with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult all returning. X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27th 2016. Below you can watch the first look at the character, Nightcrawler.
