Director Bryan Singer has rubbished rumours that fans will be treated to a first look at Apocalypse in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Singer revealed that he will be directing X-Men: Apocalypse, which will roll out on May 27, 2016.

However fans will have to wait until then to see Apocalypse – the immortal mutant who claims to be the first of its kind – as he will not appear in the forthcoming Days of Future Past.

The director also slammed speculation that Apocalypse would take the form of alien which possesses Magneto (Michael Fassbender).


‘That’s not the case’ he told Empire, ‘People were concerned we were making Apocalypse an alien. It’s odd. I don’t know where that came from.’



He divulged some details about the third instalment, revealing that it will closely follow the comic book origins.

‘What would people thousands of years ago, without the benefit of science, think mutants were? And more importantly, what would mutants thousands of years ago think they were? Gods? Titans? Angels? Demons?

‘If such mutants did exist thousands of years ago, what became of them? Did one survive?’

X-Men: Days of Future Past is out May 23, 2014.
