In the most recent trailer for 20th Century Fox's X-Men: Apocalypse, it was revealed that Cyclops and Jean Grey get some much needed help from Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) at the Alkali Lake testing facility. But this is the Weapon X version of Wolverine, which means he's going to be out of control, animalistic.

"It's a very violent, visceral sequence that is different from anything we've seen of Wolverine in previous movies and in the way that Hugh played it," producer Simon Kinberg told Entertainment Weekly.

"I talked him through the whole scene," said director Bryan Singer of his conversation with Jackman about the cameo. "He said, 'Mate, it's brilliant. I'm in. Call my agent.'"

Also, be on the lookout for a cameo from Singer. He plays "one of Stryker's men and even brandishes a machine gun."

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped 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.

The cast features James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Olivia Munn as Psylocke, Lucas Till as Havok, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Josh Helman as William Stryker, Lana Condor as Jubilee, and Ben Hardy as Angel.

The film is directed by Bryan Singer, based on a story by Singer, Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris. The script was penned by Kinberg.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE will land in theaters on May 27, 2016.
