A recent article about Jennifer Lawrence published in THR includes some new details on Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse." specifically what Mystique's character arc will be in the new film:
“Apocalypse is being crafted around Lawrence’s Mystique character and Michael Fassbender’s Magneto. A source who has seen the script says Fox will take full advantage of Lawrence and Fassbender’s star power, placing Mystique and Magneto’s romance front and center.”
The younger actors introduced in "X-Men: First Class" James McAvoy (Professor X), Fassbender Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult (Beast) and Lucas Till (Alex “Havok” Summers), etc. are contracted for three films and are locked in to return.
This time the mutants will take on Apocalypse, aka. En Sabah Nur. In the comics, En Sabah Nur is the world's first mutant who was born in Egypt around 3,000 BC and had access to advanced technology.
The studio wants "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises" actor Tom Hardy to play the bad guy in the film. Hardy is also being courted to star in Fury and "End of Watch" director David Ayer's film version of the DC Entertainment's "Suicide Squad" comic book as well. The character was teased in the post-credits scene of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (Played by Brendan Pedder).
It is likely that Channing Tatum will debut as the X-Men mutant Gambit here before getting a solo film
"X2: X-Men United" and "Superman Returns" screenwriters Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris as well as Simon Kinberg are writing the script for "Apocalypse" .
The film will hit theaters on May 27, 2016 opposite Alice in Wonderland 2
