He’s now been shown in the role for the first time, complete with an impressive and elaborate pair of wings, in keeping with the comic book character’s previous incarnation, portrayed by Ben Foster.
The new trailer also teases us with some of the action from the upcoming film, which tells the story of En Sabah Nur, an ancient mutant who re-awakens in the 1980s, recruiting his four horseman - including Ben’s character - to help destroy the world as we know it.
James McAvoy will be back in the role of Professor X, the world's most powerful telepath and founder of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, while Jennifer Lawrence also returns as Mystique.
Alongside the franchise’s regular stars and new recruits like Ben, ‘X-Men’ creator Stan Lee is also tipped to make a small cameo role in the forthcoming instalment.
Watch the ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ trailer in full above, ahead of its release, currently slated for 27 May 2016.
