Watch a Video Primer for Apocalypse, the Presumed Villain of ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

That X-Men: Days of Future Past is getting a sequel isn’t much of a surprise, but*Bryan Singer‘s X-Men: Apocalpyse*an**uncement coming months before Days of Future Past even opened did. We’re **t complaining, though — that just gives us more time to brush up on the source material.

While Apocalypse is one of the X-Men’s better k**wn adversaries, he’s racked up so much story and backstory since his introduction in 1986 that even savvy comic book readers may need a refresher. Fortunately, we’ve found a five-minute Video that offers just that. Sure, you could get most of the same info by wading through Apocalypse’s 7,000-word page on Wikipedia, but… I’ve tried, and trust me, this way is a lot more fun.*Watch it after the jump.

IGN put together the video.

Obviously, the Video doesn’t actually tell us what*X-Men: Apocalypse will be about. While the title suggests that Apocalypse will be an integral part of the storyline, there’s ** guarantee that Singer will follow his comic book arc.*In fact, the spoiler-y details recently posted by First Showing (based on an earlier draft of the screenplay) sounds pretty different from what’s described here. Still, if you feel like speculating about what*X-Men: Apocalypse holds, it doesn’t hurt to go over the basics.

What we do k**w is that, unlike*X-Men: Days of Future Past,*X-Men: Apocalypse will be all about the younger*First Class crowd. Original trilogy stars Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have seemingly backed up that report, telling press that they have **t been approached for*Apocalypse and don’t k**w anything about it.

Singer is directing and*Simon Kinberg*will likely get a screenwriting credit. A recent tweet from Singer hinted that*X2 scribes*Mike Dougherty*and Dan Harris*could be on board as well.*X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open*May 27, 2016. X-Men: Days of Future Past*arrives*May 23, 2014.
