X-Men: Apocalypse - 10 Things That Will Definitely Happen
5. Archangel Will Make His Screen Debut
This one is a biggie, as the birth of the Archangel character is one of the most iconic moments in X-Men history. Taking the golden-haired posh and pretty boy of the original X-Men team, Warren Worthington, and turning him bad was a major shock back in 1987. The story goes that an attack leaves Angels wings in tatters, with gangrene leaving amputation as the only option to save his life. The loss of his wings sent Angel into a downward spiral that saw him sell his soul to Apocalypse and become Death, changing his skin tone to a nice Apocalypse-blue and giving him razor-sharp organic metal wings. It also sent him completely off the deep end and filled him with the sort of murderous rage usually only found in Star Wars fans whove just been given Jar Jar Binks memorabilia for Christmas. Its already known that Angel will be played by Ben Hardy, who is probably best known for playing Ian Beales son in Eastenders (really), and that unlike Warrens appearance in X-Men: Last Stand, he will indeed be going dark. How do I know? Well, for one hes been seen in the trailer stood at Apocalypses side along with Storm, Psylocke and Magneto, and Singer has revealed concept art of the wings already. Theres been no mention of the blue skin yet though, maybe the pantone clashes with Oscar Isaacs make-up. For any history buffs, Angel appeared as central character in Brett Ratners X-Men: The Last Stand, although he didnt really do very much except flap around a bit if truth be told. Still Singer has form when it comes to correcting Ratners mistakes, so hopefully he can make Angel interesting again.
