Most of the featured film stars have already been featured in other X-Men with James maintaining his role as a teacher in the school of mutants. However, new mutants have been introduced and that has been highly recommended by critics.

The plot of the film is about how since the begin of times Apocalypse(Oscar Isaac) was being worshipped as a god. All hell break loose when Apocalypse awakens after 1000 years of hibernation. Apocalypse is disgusted by the new state of planet earth. This gives him a go-ahead to change earth. He seeks the help of four horsemen, Ororo Munroe (Alexandra Shipp) , Elizabeth Braddock(Olivia Munn),

Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and Warren Worthington III(Ben Hardy). The Apocalypse team is very determined to destroy and this give Charles Xavier(James McAvoy) and Raven(Jennifer Lawrence) a hard time as they lead a team of young mutants to stop Apocalypse. Be ready to watch the thrilling supernatural action as as two groups of mutants engage in epic battles.

Previous comments from the producers stated that Xavier was the forth horseman but that was changed. It is also in this film that we are able to see Scott Summers use his powers for the first time. It is also revealed that a number of mutants will die in this Franchise. The film is able to give a good history of Apocalypse and the problems that are faced by mutants.

The film has already received mixed reactions from critics. Some people think that the director made a terrible mistake by giving Wolverine a very minor role in the film. People think that an X-Men film is all about Xavier and Wolverine. But lets wait and see. Some critics like Rotten tomatoes have given the film a 52% rating. They think that the movie is "overloaded with action in a bid to compensate the low levels of genuine excitement." Some critics think that the franchise should find a new direction because since the start of X-Men films life for mutants has been hard and we are all used to that. They think that other superhero films are far much better than X-Men. In May 2016 Kinberg said that the next sequel of X-Men will be released in 1990's setting.
