'X-Men Apocalypse': Director Bryan Singer confirms the existence of The Four Horsemen

Filmmaker Bryan Singer had a treat up his sleeve for the fans of the X-Men franchise on Tuesday. He uploaded a glimpse from the treatment of the latest edition of the series on Instagram.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' is scheduled for a May 27, 2016 release. The film will star Jennifer Lawrence, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Evan Peters, Nicholas Hoult

Bryan Singer, Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris and Simon Kinberg are writing the script, while Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner will be producers along with Bryan Singer. Singer will also be the executive producer as well as the director of the film.
