X-Men: Apocalypse movie quotes bring a ninth installment in the X-Men film series to theaters for another superhero action movie. Based on the characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the screenplay was written by Simon Kinberg using a story he crafted with Bryan Singer, Michael Dougherty, and Dan Harris. Bryan Singer also directed X-Men: Apocalypse, which opened in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D on May 27, 2016.
In X-Men: Apocalypse, powerful god Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), who has gained powers from armies of mutants, rises after thousands of years with the goal of destroying everything on earth and rebuilding it his way. Apocalypse exploits a weakness in Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to get him and his four horsemen to join in the battle.
So with Apocalypse pushing to destroy everything and everyone on earth, Charles Xavier/Professor X (James McAvoy), Raven Darkhölme/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Hank McCoy/Beast (Nicholas Hoult) must train a new generation of X-Men to try to stop the destruction.
Co-starring Rose Byrne, The Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn and Huh Jackman, X-Men: Apocalypse opened in theaters already showing movies such as The Nice Guys, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, The Angry Birds Movie, The Lobster and Money Monster.
