Magneto has made veteran X-Men director Bryan Singer cry on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse.

During the San Pedro International Film Festival, Singer was asked about what to expect from the upcoming X-Men movie.

In his response, Singer mentioned that fans can expect a running time in excess of two hours, but that doesn't mean X-Men: Apocalypse is boring.

Singer refers to it as a "wrap-up of six movies" and said we can expect the trailer in six months.

Expect an emphasis on pathos in the sixth core X-Men movie and, in particular, a scene from Michael Fassbender that made his director cry.

While Singer came short of describing Fassbender's ad-libbed scene extension, he described it as "heartbreaking" and "not a typical comic book scene at all". He added that he "hope[s] it makes the cut".
