According to director Bryan Singer, after several X-Men films from 20th Century Fox, X-Men: Apocalypse will finally see the "true birth of the X-Men." Comic book fans might be a bit skeptical of these words but we'll all find out if he's right on 05.27.16.

In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer has revealed some interesting tidbits on the film; describing it as something of a finale of the six films that came before and a chapter that will give birth to the true X-Men.

"This is kind of a conclusion of six X-Men films, yet a potential rebirth of younger, newer characters. This is the true birth of the X-Men. This is how it happens."

X-Men: Apocalypse arrives in theaters on May 27, 2016. The concept art above features a scene of someone disturbing Apocalypse's regeneration chamber/tomb.
