New X-Men: Apocalypse Clip and TV Spots Promise End-of-the-World Action

Summer may be still be a couple of months off, but the superhero season is very much here. Captain America: Civil War opens in the UK today and the US next week, and that will be followed by X-Men: Apocalypse at the end of May. The first full clip has been released for 20th Century Fox's movie, along with a pair of new TV spots. Check them out below:

These clips are the latest promotional teasers for the film, following this week's final full trailer and this cool retro viral video.

The aforementioned full trailer confirmed that Hugh Jackman would be making an appearance as Wolverine, something that had been rumoured for some time but only now confirmed. Director Bryan Singer explained that Jackman's role would be more than just a quick cameo.

"I will say, it's not simple," he told Empire. "There's something more pivotal that occurs with that. It hints to a sequence that again fits within the canon of all six movies, and the birth of a new direction. It's not insignificant, nor is it simply just a throw-in."

X-Men: Apocalypse is released on May 27, 2016, and stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, and Rose Byrne.
