Clearly not intending to let Spider-Man hog all the comic-book news of the day, 20th Century Fox and X-Men: Days Of Future Past director Bryan Singer have announced what is expected to be the next big mutant outing with X-Men: Apocalypse now on the release schedule (across the pond, in any case) for May 27, 2016.
As for what that explicitly refers to remains unclear at this point, but Apocalypse in the Marvel canon is an ancient and incredibly powerful mutant who has tangled with the X-Men on more than one occasion and and even turned Wolverine into his destructive associate for a time. Of course, don’t expect to see everything carried across word for word to the cinematic X-plot, since many changes happen between the page and the screen, but evil Wolverine? We'd watch that.
Still, this points to the next big outing for Wolverine and the rest, with speculation sure to gear up almost immediately on who might play Apocalypse and how he’ll fit into Singer’s mutant world. Will the Days Of Future Past director want to come back and make another likely huge film so soon after finishing this one? We’ll have to wait and see, but his announcing it certainly points to some level of involvement.
We’ll bring you more as we get it. Meanwhile: Apocalypse 2016!
