A couple of new X-MEN: APOCALYPSE stills have been released from the upcoming issue of Empire, featuring Ben Hardy's Angel prior to his Archangel transformation and Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse/En Sabah Nur. Angel is sporting a very 80s leather jacket in these latest looks at the mutants, while Apocalypse seems to be…taking a nap? I guess being the God of all mutants can really take it out of you.

Hardy, who trained in an indoor skydiving facility in preparation for the role, was also asked about the day before filming, and he said "I was terrified! There wasn’t much sleep that night.”
Synopsis:
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 disheartened Magneto (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 young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
X-MEN: APOCALYPSE opens on May 27, 2016.
