A new teaser for X-Men: Apocalypse has surfaced in the style of a commercial for a made for TV documentary. The documentary is called In the Footsteps of… En Sabah Nur and proposes that a mutant lived long before they were “recently” revealed to humanity.

En Sabah Nur is one of the given name of Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), the villain at the center of the new film. He’s been a god since the dawn of man, and is counted as the first mutant on Earth.

The teaser is a play on the In Search Of… series hosted by the late Leonard Nimoy. This incarnation is hosted by his Star Trek co-star George Takei.

The footage in there includes the grainy TV footage of Beast fighting Magneto at the beginning of X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Watch the teaser below.



This is wonderful and could only be one-upped if they actually made a half-hour documentary and released in online.

X-Men: Apocalypse — the third part of a trilogy that includes X-Men: First Class and Days of Future Past — is slated to hit theaters on May 27, 2016.
