Production on Bryan Singer’s “X-Men Apocalypse” has officially started in Montreal. Pictures from the set are beginning to emerge showcasing some of the new cast in their best getups from the 80’s and man, does it look awesome. There are many fans hovering around the set, so expect more of these set photos to keep cropping up as the production schedule intensifies. Below we’ve got our first looks at Jubilee (Lana Condor), Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), and Cyclops (Tye Sheridan). Along with a more Micheal Jackson inspired Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
Check em out below.

Looks like everything will be very 80’s inspired as the heroes take on Apocalypse in the (rumored) final part of the new X-Men trilogy. The costumes are a lot of fun, and seem more rooted in the era than before. Jubliee is particular is spot on, and as someone who grew up during the height of the FOX cartoon, I couldn’t be more ecstatic to see these photos.
X-Men Apocalypse, in theaters May 27th, 2016 with Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Olivia Munn, Rose Byrne, Ben Hardy, Lucas Till, and Oscar Isaac all starring.
Expect Singer to follow these leaks up with a social media push shortly. He’s already been having a ton of fun with his followers, and as we get further into production I imagine clearer looks at these young heroes will hit Instagram. Until then, you can be sad with Brad and I about the fact that Cable won’t be making an appearance in the new film.
Still no word on, Mr. Sinister though…
