Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Sacha Baron Cohen dropped by in character as Borat to debut the new trailer for his new spy comedy, The Brothers Grimsby. This is a much better look at the movie than what we've seen before, teasing the full story of how two brothers (Cohen and Mark Strong) were separated at a young age with one becoming the country's best secret agent and the other becoming a football (soccer) hooligan. When they reunite almost three decades later, it's up to these two men to save the world.

There are the typical action beats on display alongside some of the comedy we've come to expect from Cohen, and fans of his will likely find a lot to like here. The movie opens on March 11th, 2016. Let us know what you think below (watch the second video if you hate Borat).

MI6's top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he's an English football hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby.

Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian. After they were adopted by different families as children, Nobby spent 28 years searching for him. Upon hearing of his location, Nobby sets off to reunite with his brother, unaware that not only is his brother an MI6 agent, but he's just uncovered a plot that puts the world in danger.  On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.

The talented team over at Dark Pixel has released an awesome short film for your viewing enjoyment based on Epic Games' Shadow Complex. It brings the game to life in a way you've never seen before. 

Jason Fleming finds himself trapped behind enemy lines; keeping him from getting to his extraction point. He has to fight through soldiers, helicopters and even a gigantic mech to get to Claire, who has managed to escape the compound with one of the enemy's vehicles. Can they make it to the extraction point without getting seriously JACKED??!? 

The short is entertaining and engaging right from the start. You're thrust right into the action, and I love how the short completely captures the feel of the game, but you're seeing what it would look like in real life. The special effects created for the short were also really well done. I hope you all enjoy it! 

After a decade of work that includes roles in Captain America: The First Avenger, Game of Thrones, and The Hunger Games, actress Natalie Dormer has scored a leading role in a feature film. She's headlining The Forest, a supernatural horror film set in the creepy real-life setting of the Aokigahara Forest, also known as the "suicide forest." Dormer plays a woman whose sister goes missing there, so she has to plunge into the horrifying location in order to track her down and battle the evil spirits who haunt the forest.

The studio sent me this cool motion poster (below), as well as a few new images from the film, which opens on January 8th, 2016. Are you planning on checking this one out?

Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller.  A young American woman, Sara (Natalie Dormer of “Game of Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”), journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Taylor Kinney of “Chicago Fire”), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.

The first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was released recently and it was met with more positivity than I was expecting. I'm not really that excited about the movie, but a lot of fans are! In all fairness, it looks like the filmmakers are trying to give the fans what they want. If you're one of those fans, then you'll want to watch this video in which Mr. Sunday Movies points out six things you may have missed while watching the trailer. Those things include Easter eggs and references to Dimension X, the Technodrome, and more!

Looks like Tywin Lannister ain't afraid of no ghosts.

A site I've never heard of called Inverse claims that Game of Thrones star Charles Dance has been cast in an undisclosed role in Paul Feig's upcoming Ghostbusters movie.

Feig’s representatives declined to comment on the casting news, but representatives at the film’s studio, Sony, confirmed to Inverse that Dance does in fact have a role in the new movie. They declined to elaborate any further.

Since I've never heard of this site before and have no idea what their track record is on scoops and reports like this, I'm going to consider this a rumor for now. The site is speculating that Dance must be playing a villain, but that speculation seems to be only because he's known for playing villainous roles, such as the scheming patriarch of the Lannister family on the wildly popular HBO series. But Neil Casey was reportedly cast as the villain months ago, so there are a few possible, if somewhat obvious, outcomes here:

1.) Dance is playing a larger, more menacing baddie, and Casey's villain reports to him.

2.) Dance is playing a lackey who works for Casey's villain, preferably against type as a bumbling idiot (my personal hope)

3.) Dance is playing a character with no villainous characteristics whatsoever

4.) Dance isn't in the movie at all and this report is total B.S.

Assuming that the fourth option doesn't come true, who (or what) would you like to see Dance play in the new Ghostbusters?

Billy on the Street may be the perfect show for posting clips online, because it's rare that I can tolerate host Billy Eichner's crazy energy for a full episode, but watching two or three minute chunks every once in a while provides just the right amount of intensity.

Eichner was joined by Will Ferrell on a recent episode to run around the streets of New York City and shout questions in the faces of random pedestrians. The two of them dressed in ridiculous Christmas-themed pajamas, and there are references to Ferrell's modern classic Elf, as well as other Christmas films like Scrooged and Love Actually. Get in the holiday spirit and check it out below:

It would be an absolute delight to see Ron Howard make a sequel to George Lucas' Willow one day. I absolutely love that film. As I say this, I realize that I've never shown it to my kids! It looks like I'll be remedying that this coming week. 

It's been 30 years since Willow was released, and I can't believe that it's been that long. The film starred Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer, and it would be so cool to see them return for another adventure. Even if they didn't come back, I would still love a sequel set in that world.

During a Q&A on Reddit, Howard was asked about the sequel, and it was great that he didn't just brush it off and say it will never happen. He kept it positive and said:

"Right now, the Lucasfilm team led by Kathleen Kennedy, who is an old dear friend, is entirely myopically focused on the Star Wars universe as you can imagine. So I think the immediate possibility of another Willow movie is probably not on the front burner. But Warwick Davis is such a cool guy, and he’s continued to evolve as a talent … man, he’s Willow! And a grown-up Willow could be kind of cool, so, I’d say never say never."

He went on to say that he'd like to have a second chance to explore that world that he and Lucas collaborated on back in 1988. He explained:

"You know there are things about the movie Willow, as much affection as I have for it and as much affection as fans have for it that, you know, I would love to have a second chance with. George Lucas was so trusting; I was still fairly green, I always say it was a little like me doing my doctoral thesis working with George Lucas on that movie Willow. And I think today I could make it even more dynamic, I could make it cooler, I could make the funny stuff funnier, but all that said, you know Willow was a great experience and I’m really glad it sort of lives in peoples memory. Or younger people see it today and still find something to really like about it."

I know there's a good chance that a Willow sequel could never happen, but after reading Howard's comments, I really hope that it does. It could be pretty incredible. We don't see fantasy movies like that anymore! It was just such a wonderful film with wonderful characters and I think Howard could capture that magic again.

Writer/director Quentin Tarantino has said he wants to retire from making films after he directs his tenth movie, but that doesn't mean he'll be finished creating art. He currently has plans to move into television, and in a directors' roundtable interview with THR, there's an exchange with director Ridley Scott that fans of QT's might be interested to read:

TARANTINO I'm probably only going to make 10 movies, so I'm already planning what I'm going to do after that.

SCOTT Why? Why?

TARANTINO I want to stop at a certain point.

SCOTT What would you do then?

TARANTINO I want to write novels, and I want to write and direct theater. I've got to see how I feel when Hateful Eight is over, if I still have the same juice for it, but the next thing I'd like to do is a theat­rical adaptation of Hateful Eight, because I like the idea of other actors having a chance to play my char­acters. So that's where I'm at. I'm working my way into that time period, where I write novels and film pieces and film books, but in particular direct theater. 

Have you ever directed theater?

TARANTINO No, I never have.

Have you ever written a play?

TARANTINO No. You know everything I've written. (Laughs.)

Hateful Eight had a staged reading. What did you learn from that?

TARANTINO This was actually a big part of my thought process. I wouldn't be so confident with thinking about exhibition [the movie will have a road-show rollout in 70mm projection] if I wasn't confident with the material. And the script-reading really went a long way, as far as that's concerned. Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, you can read almost as a piece of literature, but I still had to figure them out [before shooting]. It's not for sure that I'm going to pull them off. There is a "finding it" in the course of making it. But with Hateful Eight, it was right there. I mean, if I had those actors and we did it in a little theater on Santa Monica Boulevard, 99 seats, it would kill, it would be terrific. I'm not saying the movie is great; I'm just saying that I like the material, so I had a confidence in it.

I'm still not allowed to tell you what I thought about The Hateful Eight, but it would make an absolutely fantastic stage play. It mostly takes place in one location, and Tarantino's legendary way with dialogue is on full display. It's cool that Tarantino is open to other actors playing his characters; I imagine at a certain point, you could get locked in to the idea of a specific actor playing a role and not be able to think about anyone else's interpretation, but I had the rare opportunity to see a Live Read of his Reservoir Dogs script and hearing his dialogue filtered through a different perspective is a very cool experience. I can only imagine how theater actors must be salivating at the chance to play a Tarantino character on stage, and having QT actually direct the play will be a fascinating creative change of pace for him.

Joey will have a full review of The Hateful Eight when the embargo lifts later this month, so stay tuned.

With the proliferation of "versus" properties these days — Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War, Ash vs. The Evil Dead, Godzilla vs. King Kong, etc. — I really should have seen this coming. Variety reports that the ghosts from Japanese horror films Ringu (The Ring) and Ju-On (The Grudge) are going to battle in a new movie called Sadako vs. Kayako, ensuring that the J-horror subgenre doesn't miss out on any money to be made from the current crossover trend.

The film is already in production, with Grotesque helmer Koji Shiraishi directing and Mizuki Yamamoto starring, and the plan is to release the movie in theaters in June of 2016 (with 4D screenings, no less). Apparently the project began as an April Fools prank, but producers saw how interested fans were and decided to turn it into a real movie. No word yet on whether an American remake is planned, but I imagine it won't be long before that happens. Meanwhile, Rings is coming to U.S. theaters on April 1st, 2016.

Bloody-Disgusting points us to the first teaser trailer for Sadako vs. Kayako, which you can watch below:

Nine guitars in total, 12 different shirts, 31 orchestra parts, and 50 tracks played by only one guy. See how things are escalating? And they are escalating to possibly become the performance of the month. But still, isn’t that cool?

A massive Star Wars fan and internet guitar player showed off his impressive guitar skills and paid tribute to the greatest saga in the universe.

Cooper Carter caught my attention right away and I really do not regret seeing how he managed to break down the famous Star Wars theme song into its 31 orchestral parts.

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuting next week, everyone's attention is centered on the seventh Episode in the saga, but there are still some lingering questions about the standalone films (the ones with A Star Wars Story in their titles) that are going to be alternating with the more traditional movies that tell the continuing story of the Skywalkers.

/Film spoke with Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy at last weekend's The Force Awakens press junket, and learned some interesting facts about the future of the Star Wars movies, including how it's different from what Marvel Studios is doing under the same corporate overlord. The whole piece is worth a read, but I'll pull out the most relevant quotes for you here:

"The standalone films can be a wide variety of genres inside the Star Wars universe...It is definitely [similar to Marvel Studios' approach in] the genre thinking but Star Wars is very different than Marvel in that they basically build their stories around characters, and then they seed those characters in different stories. Star Wars, you know, is a place, it’s a universe, so those stories are constructed a little differently than Marvel.

They are really being designed as standalone movies, which is fantastic for the filmmakers we bring in, and the actors we hire, because it’s a different sensibility. [The standalone movies] are not being designed to necessarily build new franchises" [and will] "very definitely have a beginning, middle, and end."

Also important: Kennedy says that all of the standalone films don't necessarily have to be prequels or sequels involving characters we already know.

When Disney first purchased Lucasfilm and got the ball rolling with new Star Wars movies, I was really hoping that we'd be able to explore new characters and new planets that aren't tied to the main saga stories, and I thought the standalone movies would be the perfect place to do that. So I was a little disappointed when word came out that Rogue One would take place right before A New Hope and involve stealing the plans of the Death Star and the next standalone film would be a Han Solo prequel. Rumors persist that Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Boba Fett might all get their own standalone films one day, and once I heard the first couple of announcements from Lucasfilm about the plots of the first two standalone movies, I figured it was just a matter of time before those rumors became official. But now I'm not so sure. With Kennedy saying that those movies don't have to feature characters we already know, I have a new hope (ha!) that we might actually get to explore this cinematic universe again in a fresh way.

I wondered if Bob Iger and the Disney execs would mandate standalone films based on familiar characters because of the name recognition they have, but hearing Kennedy imply that entirely new stories could be on the horizon is very exciting. I really love the idea of someone coming in, telling one self-contained story that takes place in their own corner of the universe, and then moving on to something else without having it get prequelized and sequelized to death. So even if the immediate future of Star Wars is going to look very familiar, it seems like not too long from now, things are going to start getting a lot more interesting at Lucasfilm.

As the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens inches ever closer, it's getting down to crunch time. Those of us who are trying to avoid spoilers are on high alert, making sure to avoid every last TV spot and international trailer that blasts onto the internet seemingly with each passing day. I'm guessing most of you already have your tickets for opening night at this point, but let's be honest: you're probably going to see the film more than once, aren't you? I'm almost certain I am. So even though you might have tickets in hand for one screening, why not try to see the film the second time in exactly the format that writer/director J.J. Abrams recommends?

Speaking with the AP, Abrams revealed his ideal way to watch the film:

"As someone who really hasn't been the most vocal advocate of 3-D, the strangest thing happened to me on this. When I was watching the reels in 3-D, there were a number of shots — and I know this sounds insane — that I hadn't understood in the three-dimensional space quite the way I did when I saw them in 3-D. I actually felt that there were things that were playing better in 3-D. I had never felt that before. And if people have access to a theater that has laser projection, it is shockingly better...You cannot compare a traditionally projected image with a laser image. The blacks are true blacks. It's almost as if you have to adjust to it."

As someone who's seen a handful of movies with that laser projection, I understand the clarity he's talking about. One of the bad things about 3D is that the glasses dim the image so much that you lose a lot of the brightness and vibrance of the screen, but I guess the laser projection helps to combat that. io9 has an excellent breakdown of all of the theaters, both nationwide and internationally, that are showing the film in that format, including two here in Los Angeles, so I'll definitely be watching it that way after I see it the first time. They also list the theaters presenting the movie on traditional 2D 70mm film, which is how Abrams actually shot it (save for one specific sequence that was shot using IMAX cameras).

Sorry if this is too technical for those of you who don't really care and just want to enjoy the movie any way you can, but I always like to try to see movies in the format that the director suggests if at all possible, just so I can have the visual and aural experience he or she intends. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens the night of December 17th.

Christmas is coming early this year for Harry Potter fanatics.

Warner Bros. just sent over an e-mail revealing that the worldwide debut of the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will debut on December 15th.

Nothing super revelatory there — not a single shot of any actors, or even any sound. I guess they're saving that for next week.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits theaters on November 18th, 2016. Read the full press release below, which includes some basic details about the story, cast, and crew, and be sure to click here for photos and many more details:

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling.  

Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four “Harry Potter” blockbusters.

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.  Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” also stars Katherine Waterston (“Steve Jobs,” “Inherent Vice”) as Tina; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler (“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”) as Jacob; Alison Sudol (“Dig,” “Transparent”) as Tina’s sister, Queenie; Ezra Miller (“Trainwreck”) as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (“In America,” “Sweet and Lowdown”) as Mary Lou; Oscar winner Jon Voight (“Coming Home,” TV’s “Ray Donovan”) as Henry Shaw, Sr.; Ron Perlman (the “Hellboy” films) as Gnarlack; Carmen Ejogo (“Selma”) as Seraphina; Jenn Murray (“Brooklyn”) as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell (“True Detective”) as Percival Graves.

The film marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, whose beloved Harry Potter books were adapted into the top-grossing film franchise of all time.  Her script was inspired by the Hogwarts textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by her character Newt Scamander.

The film reunites a number of people from the “Harry Potter” features, including producers David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.

Collaborating with Yates behind the scenes are: Oscar-winning director of photography Philippe Rousselot (“A River Runs Through It,” the “Sherlock Holmes” movies), three-time Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig (“The English Patient,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Gandhi,” the “Harry Potter” films), three-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (“Chicago,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Alice in Wonderland”), Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Tim Burke (“Gladiator,” the “Harry Potter” films), Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Christian Manz (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1”), and Yates’ longtime editor Mark Day (the last four “Harry Potter” films).

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is being filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, which was home to the “Harry Potter” films for a decade.  Some scenes were also shot on location in Liverpool, England.

Warner Bros. Pictures has slated “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” for worldwide release in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX on November 18, 2016.

Cate Blanchett is the most recent big star to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Blanchett is in final negotiations to join Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Tom Hiddleston in Thor: Ragnarok! There are no details given on who she might play, but how awesome would it be if she were cast as Hela the Goddess of Death! Holy crap, she would be amazing in that role! That's who I would want to cast her as because she's perfect for the role.

Blanchett just received a SAG and Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her role in the film Carol, and Thor: Ragnarok will be her first major comic book role. However, this wouldn't be the first fantasy film she's been involved with. As you know, she also played a big role Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.

Taika Waititi is on board to direct the third film in the Thor franchise from a script written by Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Stephany Folsom, who was just brought in to work on it. There's a strong team of talent involved with the movie, and the addition of Blanchett just makes it even better.

Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3rd, 2017. Who would you like to see Blanchett play in the movie?

Disney Animation Studios has released a set of movie posters for their upcoming comedy Zootopia. We have one new official poster for the movie and a great collection of posters that parody other films. Some of those are called Giraffic Park, 50 Shades of Prey, Cinderelephant, Straight Otter Zootopia, Ex Yakima, and more.

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

The comedy-adventure is being directed by Byron Howard (Tangled, Bolt) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph, The Simpsons) and co-directed by Jared Bush (Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero). The voice cast also includes Shakira, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons, Nate Torrence, Jenny Slate, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Alan Tudyk, Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Raymond Persi, Katie Lowes, Jesse Corti, and John DiMaggio.

Zootopia opens in theaters on March 4th, 2016. To watch the first full trailer for the film, click here.

I’ve got a couple of funny comedy shorts for you to watch. The first is called "Never Seen Star Wars." It centers on three friends talking about their excitement to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. During that conversation, they learn that one of their friends has never seen any of the movies. This video illustrates the frustration of having a friend who has never seen Star Wars. It was created by the Los Angles based comedy group DadDudes.

The second is called "Dealbreakers: Sh’s Never Seen Star Wars," which follows a guy who starts dating a girl who has never seen Star Wars. Of course, she tries to epically fake her way through the relationship, making him believe that she has. It was created by Wong Fu Productions, and it’s pretty damn funny.

I’ve only met a couple of people who have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, and it was really interesting. I don’t know how anyone can get through this life without ever seeing Star Wars, but believe it or not, it happens! 

I also want to add that both films have funny endings.

There's been a lot of information revealed regarding a lot of the main characters that will play a role in Captain America: Civil War. One character we haven't heard that much about is Agent 13, who is played by Emily VanCamp. Agent 13/Sharon Carter was introduced in The Winter Soldier, and it looks like she's going to see a little bit more action this time around.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, VanCamp offers some details on the character regarding her romantic relationship with Captain America and a fight scene that involves Black Widow. She starts off by saying what side she lands on:

"She’s definitely Team Captain America. That’s who she is within the universe, I mean, she’s always had his back."

It's no surprise that she would land on team Cap. She also teases the character's growing romance with Steve Rogers, saying:

"We get to explore... I can't say we are going to that extent of it, but they are certainly getting to know each other. And they know who each other are. That’s where it all gets really tricky because there are die-hard fans that want to see him with different people. There’s all the different camps, so hopefully people are happy with it."

I think this is a romance we were all expecting to see, but it sounds like she'll be getting a little more action outside of her relationship with Rogers. She goes on to reveal that she will fight Black Widow in the movie.

"I got to do a small fight sequence with Scarlett [Johansson] which was fun. We’re all just kind of kicking ass in those movies."

There's going to be a lot of fighting between characters who shouldn't be fighting each other. Even though I fall on the side of team Cap in this story, Black Widow is easily going to kick Agent 13's ass. She doesn't stand a chance! I don't think that's even a fair fight! Oh well, it'll be fun to watch!

The first official trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse has been unleashed on the world, and I think you're gonna love what you see. It looks like Bryan Singer will not only deliver another exciting X-Men movie, but the most epic one that he's made so far. In addition to the trailer, we also have this official synopsis:

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

X-Men: Apocalypse also stars Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, Lucas Till as Havok, and newcomers Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Ben Hardy as Angel, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Olivia Munn as Psylocke, Lana Condor as Jubilee, and Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse.

X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27th, 2016.
