2016 will see the release of the follow-up to X-Men franchise, titled Apocalypse, alluding to the arrival of the ultimate mutant villain En Sabah Nur AKA Apocalypse. The threat of Apocalypse has loomed over the X-Men since his creation by Louise Simonson and Jackson Guice in 1986. Fans have been wondering when we would get the chance to see the eternal mutant villain on the big screen, and thankfully we don't have to wait too much longer. Bryan Singer, who returned to the franchise to direct the upcoming Days of Future Past, will also be helming X-Men: Apocalypse. Little is known about the film, since much of its storyline will presumably relate to the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. We do know X-Men: Apocalypse will feature the First Class era of characters, but Singer has proven already with Days of Future Past that he isn't afraid of a big mutant cast, so it got us thinking. What new mutants will we get to see on the big screen this time around? Barring any potential casualties in Days of Future Past, we can expect Xavier, Magneto, Beast and possibly Mystique to feature in the film, as they have been key characters in the First Class series. At this point Wolverine is a maybe, considering how vocal Hugh Jackman has been about seeing the character recast, but we'll assume Wolverine is there as well. That leaves a lot of room for new mutants to show up, so we made a wishlist. Here are 10 mutants we need to see in X-Men: Apocalypse:
