" Bryan Singer has revealed details about X-Men: Apocalypse. He announced that Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult are on board for 20th Century Fox&amp;#039;s X-Men: Days of Future Past sequel.  The film will be based &amp;quot;somewhat&amp;quot; on the &amp;#039;90s X-Men crossover &amp;#039;Age of Apocalypse&amp;#039;, which was set in an alternate timeline where the titular mutant villain had conquered the Earth and subjugated humanity.  &amp;quot;[The movie] won&amp;#039;t necessarily create an alternate universe, but there may be some swapping things that I&amp;#039;m playing with,&amp;quot; Singer told EW. &amp;quot;From a visual standpoint it actually may be a bigger movie than Days of Future Past because there&amp;#039;ll be disaster movie imagery, like the title would imply,&amp;quot; added writer-producer Simon Kinberg.  The filmmakers also said that there would be some subtle setup for the film in the imminent Days of Future Past. &amp;quot;You won&amp;#039;t feel at the end of the movie that it set up Apocalypse,&amp;quot; said Singer. &amp;quot;What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what we&amp;#039;ll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen. &amp;quot;Apocalypse deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants were? What would mutants think humans were? You&amp;#039;re dealing with gods and things like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our world?&amp;quot;      Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Shawn Ashmore, Omar Sy, Fan Bingbing, Adan Canto, Josh Helman and Evan Peters will also star in X-Men: Days of Future Past, which will arrive in UK cinemas on May 22 and in the US on May 23. X-Men: Apocalypse - 5 potential storylines for the 2016 sequel X-Men: Apocalypse will be released on May 27, 2016. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
