A new clip from the sequel explains it all.
With the release of the final 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' trailer, the battle to be named 2014's biggest superhero movie continues. 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' which is breaking all the April box office, already got the jump, but can the latest X-Men film turn the tides?
The announcement of 'X-Men: Apocalypse,' a film that would undoubtedly see one of the most famous villains of the 'X-Men' universe rise to the big screen, came as a delight to fans of these Marvel characters, even with director Bryan Singer's 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' waiting to be released.
