We’ve been told “soon” for a while now, but it seems fans will see the first trailer for 20th Century Fox’s hugely-anticipated X-Men: Apocalypse ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens when it comes to theaters next month.

This isn’t the first time it’s been reported when the Apocalypse trailer would hit, of course, but it seems on the level, coming from Collider in a marked exclusive and with a quote from the studio.
“I can in fact confirm that information,” said executive producer Simon Kinberg, who also works on Star Wars. “Our first trailer will be on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s our first thing out there so it is somewhat of a teaser but it’s certainly longer than a minute and it has a ton of cool stuff in it.”
X-Men: Apocalypse is being directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men: Days of Future Past), based on a script written by Simon Kinberg (Fantastic Four). The cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Munn, Rose Byrne, Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner, Oscar Isaac, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, James McAvoy, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Lucas Till, Ben Hardy, Josh Helman and Lana Condor.
