Ben Hardy finally 100 percent confirmed for Angel (Warren Worthington). And he'll actually have a major role as one of Apocalypse's four horseman instead of just being a cipher in, oh I don't know, The Last Stand? J/K

So...his wings retract from the looks of things? How exactly does that work?

[ShyViolet]

He had natural wings until Apocalypse turned him evil (Archangel). Originally he was one of the five core X-men in the early 60s. (Cyclops, Marvel Girl/Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman and Angel)
His new wings are mechanical which is why they retract.

[Dacey]

Gotcha.

Bryan Singer apparently isn't playing games when it comes to X-Men.

He just announced Olivia Munn as Betsy Braddock aka Psylocke.

Story at Variety

Those who've watched Munn during her time on Attack of the Show know about her love for geekdom. This is sure to be a dream come true for her.

Yeah, I know...yet another character.

Yeah, but in Singer's movies, "another character" could mean an unexplained 10-second appearance.

And YES! James Mcavoy will still have his hair lol! . Cool concept art too.

Bryan Singer posted his first official pic of Jubes and Jean from the second day of shooting. Brings back some fond memories of the 90s animated series, even if the film takes place in the early 80s.

It's working for me.

One of my favorite parts of First Class and Days of Future Past was seeing the mutants interact with various pop culture artifacts of the 60's and 70's, so I'm glad to see that being carried over with aplomb to Apoclaypse.

[ShyViolet]

Yeah I'm an 80s kid so it's really cool for me!
Bring on Rainbow Brite and Smurfs!

Ah, finally a Jubilee that looks like Jubilee! (Although it was hard to tell in the first movie, since you had to not blink.) Maybe she'll even have lines this time!...Well, okay, a line, since she's a B-team character in a Singer movie.

Like the Apocalypse story, that's one of the advantages of having a director weaned on the old 90's cartoon.

[ShyViolet]

Actually, Singer's recent Instagram pic has confirmed that Mcavoy will indeed be going bald this time:
