X-Men: Apocalypse Leaked Trailer: 6 Things You Need To Know

6. The End Of The World

The trailer kicks off with flashes of destruction and the young Jean Grey waking up from a psychic dream looking absolutely terrified. "I saw the end of the world. I could feel all this death," she tells Professor X, who calmly reassures her that it was "just a dream". 

She doesn't look convinced though, and if the original X-Men trilogy taught fans anything, it's that Jean is powerful enough to feel something like that on the horizon.

"I've been called many things over many lifetimes. Ra, Krishna, Yahweh..." says a mysterious voice as the focus shifts from Jean. This is later revealed to belong to Apocalypse, and despite the fact that X-Men: Days of Future Past featured an after-credits scene which showed a young Apocalypse in ancient Egypt, there's been some concern that Bryan Singer wouldn't stick to the comic books that closely and Apocalypse wouldn't be thousands of years old. That line makes it clear that he is! 

"I was there to spark and fan the flame of man's awakening. To spin the wheel of civilisation," Apocalypse continues as snapshots of characters like Mystique and Nightcrawler show up on screen. That comment confirms that he's not only been around for a very long time, but may have a bigger role in how the world has turned out than even his comic book counterpart...
