Bryan Singer will close the new trilogy of X-Men with his next feature film 'X-Men: Apocalypse', the sequel to 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' that according to the words of Michael Dougherty, co-writer of the script, promises to tell the origins of three characters who have been very important during the first installments of the mutants: Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) Storm (Alexandra Shipp) and Jean gray (Sophie Turner), characters that will be reintroduced with a new version, although based on the characterization of yesteryear. Apparently we can see moments of his life during his youth that until now we had not had the opportunity to know.
“At the moment, you've met the trio early in X-Men 1 through X-Men 3 and they are exactly who you think they are. Cyclops is the leader, Jean Gray is a confident woman but with problems in managing her powers and Storm is the enigmatic goddess of time.
