Yesterday afternoon a Tweet from Bryan Singer brought some interesting news to our attention. Singer, who has produced and directed multiple X-Men films, tweeted, "#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016!"

It's a simple tweet, but Darren Franich has posted an article on Entertainment Weekly that helps explain what this means. They have confirmed with 20th Century Fox that there is indeed a film called X-Men: Apocalypse scheduled for release on May 27, 2016.

No further details are available at this time, so there's even no telling which X-Men cast will be present in the film. It could be First Class X-Men or the Original Trilogy X-Men, or possibly a combination of the two as we'll see in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.

One thing was made clear by Franich's article. It seems Apocalypse is one of the X-Men's toughest enemies. He's apparently the world's first mutant with a wide array of powers at his disposal. As with comic book films, there are surely multiple directions they can go with this story.

In the meantime, fans can look forward to Singer's upcoming star-studded film X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is set for release on May 23, 2014. Be sure to click on the link below to read the rest of Franich's article on Entertainment Weekly.
