At the same time, it became known that the film will be the end of the trilogy, and the main antagonist will be Apocalypse.

At the first stage of the search for actors for the comic book "X-Men: Apocalypse", the role of the leader of the four horsemen was offered to Tom Hardy ("Mad Max: Fury Road") and Idris Elba ("Luther").
