“We had a little help.” Don’t watch the new X-Men: Apocalypse trailer if you don’t want to know who the help was, because (spoiler) they just confirmed Hugh Jackman’s cameo as Wolverine. This was something Fox already hinted at being a possibility during their Comic-Con panel, and then the cameo was spoiled by a props manufacturer and by rumors of reshoots involving Jackman. Now Fox is using some of their last marketing push before the film opens May 27 to ask us all, “Hey, you still can’t get enough Wolverine, right?”
Fair enough, Fox.
And they also seem to get that Jennifer Lawrence is a big draw, as her Mystique is all throughout this new trailer. It turns out she’s the one assembling and training mutants to take on Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) and his Four Horsemen, Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Archangel (Ben Hardy), and Psylocke (Olivia Munn).
Bryan Singer also put the first look at the Blob (after a losing cagematch with Angel) on Instagram last night:
And if that wasn’t enough to get people’s attention, Fox also put out new photos to remind everyone about Olivia Munn cutting cars in half — er, we mean, to remind everyone about the new trailer coming today:
