We got a solid look at Apocalypse's strange origin in the last trailer, but this one provides a little bit more. First up is an extension of the sweeping shot of the pyramids revealing an ankh symbol on the tip, a nice bit of contextual info and perhaps a clue to the plot.

Then we see a bit more of that odd ceremony that appears to either be Apocalypse developing his mutation or finding a new body. Whatever the case, the good-looking Oscar Isaac is quickly morphed into his more monstrous look.

Then we get to see him wield some of his doomgiving powers - using sand to choke people. OK, he'll have more than that in the finished film, but this is still a cool moment. I'd guess this is just after the transformation, with En Sabah Nur killing those who helped him, because bad guys always have to kill their henchmen nowadays.
