X-Men: Apocalypse Final Trailer - 10 Major Plots Hints

4. Charles Is Taken Prisoner

X-Men Apocalypse Jean Grey

At one point in this trailer (around the 30 second mark), when we see Charles he looks a little out of place. As he's pleading with Eric not to join Apocalypse, he's sitting on the same rocky terrain that we see the Four Horsemen.

Just what is he doing there? Well, it seems as though Beast gives us the answer, when he tells Raven: "They took him."

It doesn't really leave much doubt as to who 'him' is, and it fits with Charles' location in the trailer, and seeing him suffering a beating in his fight with Apocalypse, even if that does look like it'll take place in a mental world rather than the physical one.

This shows us the power of Apocalypse, if he's able to kidnap a mutant as strong as Charles, and also that either he's the only one capable of stopping him, or he needs him to progress with his plans.
