Archangel spreads his wings in new X-Men: Apocalypse banner
There will be no fewer than six new superhero films released next year, and we already have trailers for Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Along with Doctor Strange, we're still waiting on our first bit of proper footage from X-Men: Apocalypse, and it's currently set to debut ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens later this month.
To tide us over until then, Twitter user @universoxmen has snapped a pic of a banner for the upcoming release, which features franchise newcomer Ben Hardy spreading his wings as Archangel. Check it out below...

In related news, Alberta Film Ratings is reporting that the first X-Men: Apocalypse trailer has been rated PG and will run at two minutes twenty-four seconds. Here's hoping we'll see Archangel's wings in action soon...
Directed by Bryan Singer and starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: Apocalypse will be released in UK cinemas on May 19 2016 before making its way to US theatres on May 27 2016.
