The tweet that included the poster describes the character as “Savage. Dark. Fallen.”

Archangel will be played by Ben Hardy. He will be one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), alongside Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), and Storm (Alexandra Shipp). Learn more about the Horsemen in this video featurette.

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
