X-Men Apocalypse: Everything you need to know including cast, spoilers, trailer, release date and more
The core cast of characters from X-Men: Days of Future Past are coming back - that's Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier (with a newly shaven head) and Nicholas Hoult as Beast - but we'll also be seeing a number of new faces stepping into familiar roles.

While a bunch of classic X-Men from the original three films are coming back, they have been recast with much younger actors. These include Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner as Jean Grey (saving Fox big bucks on red wigs), Tye Sheridan as long-time team leader Cyclops, Alexandra Shipp as the weather-controlling Storm in her mohawk/punk era (a thing that actually happened), EastEnders' Ben Hardy as Angel and Kodi Smit-McPhee as the teleporter Nightcrawler.

Newcomers include Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, The Newsroom's Olivia Munn as psychic ninja Psylocke (we know she technically had a cameo in The Last Stand, but it was too terrible to count), Icelandic actor Tómas Lemarquis as Apocalypse's bloodhound Caliban and newcomer Lana Condor as Jubilee, best remembered as the annoying kid from the '90s cartoon.



Other returning faces include American Horror Story's Evans Peters, back to steal the show again as Quicksilver, Spy's Rose Byrne reprising her role as Moira MacTaggert following her X-Men: First Class mindwipe, and Lucas Till as Havok aka the guy with the blasty chest that you definitely remember.
