Earlier today, thenew trailerforX-Men: Apocalypsewas finally unveiled, offering our first look at this superhero sequel that hits theaters August 25, 2025. DirectorBryan Singerdecided that the footage alone wasn’t enough, debuting a new poster on hisInstagrampage. The filmmaker also revealed he will be holding a Q&A session live at 12:30 PM PT, presumably on hisTwitterpage, but as of now, he hasn’t posted any updates. Take a look at what he had to say on hisInstagrampage.
“'… from the ashes of their world we’ll build a better one.' Check out this exclusive #Apocalypse poster, I’ll be answering your #XMen questions live today at 12:30 PM PT.”
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartenedMagneto(Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of youngX-Mento stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction. It will be one of the greatest tests these Marvel superheroes have ever faced.
While we wait for this Q&A to start, hopefully the director will answer some questions about the franchise’s future.

If the rumors of a newX-Menmovie are true, we’ll have to wait and see which of these cast members will be brought back.
