Here's a guide to Dark Phoneix.
X-Men: First Class gave the series a boost following a couple of poorly-received entries, and detailed the origins of the team. X-Men: Apocalypse is considered one of the weaker outings of the prequel saga, as tries to cram far too many characters and action sequences into a familiar storyline. While it grossed less than Days Of Future Past, it was still a solid hit.
The movie's character guide is also quite big, with the sequel bringing back both familiar faces and plenty of newcomers.
X-Men: Apocalypse's Cast And Characters
James McAvoy as Professor X
James McAvoy returns once more as Professor X (AKA Charles Xavier). Professor X is the head of the X-Men and is sought out by Apocalypse to be his new host due to his powerful psychic abilities. Some of McAvoy's biggest movies include Glass and IT: Chapter 2.
Michael Fassbender as Magneto
X-Men: Apocalypse's cast once again sees Michael Fassbender (Prometheus, Shame) return as Magneto/Erik. In stark contrast to his usual role, the sequel starts with Erik living a quiet, family life that is cruelly snatched away. This sets him on the path to becoming one of Apocalypse's Horsemen.
