The "X-men" trailer has had over 14 million views on YouTube just a day after its release and #xmenapocalypse on Twitter has had thousands of mentions from fans quoting their favorite lines of the trailer. The trailer, whose soundtrack hunted is done by snow ghosts, kicks off with "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner who plays Jean in the movie saying she saw the end of the world in her dream justifying the title "Apocalypse". An apocalypse translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge or revelations.

A hint of Jean Grey's (Sophie Turner) future and how her powers will develop as the character evolves gets given in the trailer, and her revelation comes to pass when the Apocalypse is awakened and recruits a team of powerful mutants so as to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, Variety reported.
