With Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse" hitting the big screen next year, the director has teased how the titular villain Apocalypse will execute mass destruction in the upcoming film.
Singer shared a photo on his official Instagram account on July 22, showing him walking on a wrecked Cairo, Egypt's capital. The director's photo, which is captioned "Tip toeing through ruined #Cairo #1983 #xmen #apocalypse," has given fans a taste on what Apocalypse is capable of doing and what may happen in the upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse." The photo got more than 7,000 likes.
According to Comic Book, Cairo is where the titular supervillain Apocalypse finds the disturbed mutant Storm and eventually recruits her as one of his Four Horsemen, along with Psylocke, Archangel, and Magneto, being the other three.
Apocalypse has roots in the ancient Egyptian civilization, which created strong links between him and the nations in North Africa and Middle East, according to Cinema Blend. With this knowledge, it is assumed that his rise in the early 1980s will lead to a worldwide destruction that includes Cairo, which is cradled in Egypt.
Oscar Isaac is set to play the role of the titular supervillain. Along with him, "X-Men: Apocalypse" also stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Lucas Till, Alexandra Shipp, Ben Hardy, Sophie Turner, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Olivia Munn, Tye Sheridan, Lara Condor, Evan Peters, Rose Byrne, and Josh Helman, among others.
Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse" is set to hit theaters in the United States on May 27, 2016.
