X-Men: Apocalypse Final Trailer - 10 Major Plots Hints
"Just because there's not a war, doesn't mean there's peace."
With Warner Bros. and Marvel duking it out this year, Fox have slipped under the radar a little bit with X-Men: Apocalypse. However, based on what we've seen of it so far, it could well be the best of the bunch.
With Oscar Isaac as the titular villain, and some of the finest acting talent around returning (they really timed those First Class contracts well, didn't they?), there's an incredible cast for this one, and the franchise is riding high after the solid First Class and the great Days of Future Past.
Now we've got the final trailer for Apocalypse, and it ramps everything up a little bit more. The stakes couldn't be higher - the end of the world - and, as we near the release date, we're finally getting to see just how impressive this movie will really look.
Aside from the improved CGI, what's most exciting is the way it's seemingly concluding the arcs of the likes of Charles, Eric, and Raven, while introducing the next generation, including Jean Grey and Cyclops. Pitting them against Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen, it looks like being a massive fight between the mutants.
The trailer is once again refusing to give too much away, with the finer details of En Sabah Nur's plan still unclear, but there are still a few big plot clues we can glean from this final trailer.
10. Magneto Is Driven By Loss
"Whatever it is you think you saw in me, I buried it with my family."
Ah, so that's why Magneto...wait, family? What? Who?
Yes, it appears that, in the decade or so since the events of Days of Future Past, Eric actually managed to settle down and start a family of his own. And then they were killed.
Aside from that line of dialogue, we also get a shot of what looks like Eric with his son, and it becomes clear that whatever happened to them is the driving force behind his choosing to side with Apocalypse - and it's probably not far off to say humans were responsible for it. If he'd managed to put his past behind him and start a new life, and yet now we find him wanting to destroy the world, then this seems like the logical conclusion.
