The Four Horsemen Bring Doom In New 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Posters


Now that it appears Apocalypse's horsemen will be playing a role in the X-Men universe beyond X-Men: Apocalypse, they're really investing a lot in hyping their debut. A set of four character posters has been revealed featuring Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Olivia Munn as Psylocke, Ben Hardy as Angel, and Alexandra Shipp as Storm. Included is a brand new featurette focused on the quartet of villains, who serve the immortal Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) in his quest to lead mutantkind to a new world order. Here's the synopsis:

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27th.
