As fans of the 'X-Men' film franchise will have to wait until May 27, 2016 for the new installment to release, spoilers about the upcoming 'X-Men Apocalypse' movie have emerged to satiate eager and anxious fans.

According to latest reports, Hugh Jackman is very likely to return as Weapon X, because the plot-line of the film is somewhat based on the classic graphic novel 'Age of Apocalypse'.

Moreover, this film is likely to see the return of Jean Grey and Cyclops (who died in 'X-Men 3'), Storm and Nightcrawler, reports Ecumenical News.

It is rumored that 'X-Men Apocalypse' will explore Apocalypse's character - the first mutant born in Egypt with the 'X gene', which grants mutants superpowers. Nevertheless, these speculations have yet to be confirmed by the producers.

Meanwhile, talking to the Entertainment Weekly recently, 'X-Men Apocalypse' director Bryan Singer and producer-writer Simon Kinberg teased fans regarding the grand scale and impact the movie will have.

Singer said, "From a visual standpoint it actually may be a bigger movie than 'Days of Future Past', because there'll be disaster movie imagery, like the title would imply."

We went on to mention that fans can find clues about Apocalypse in the movie 'X-Men: Days of the Future Past'

Elaborating, Singer said, "You won't feel at the end of the movie that it set up Apocalypse. What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what we'll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen."

Singer added, "Apocalypse deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants were? What would mutants think humans were? You're dealing with gods and things like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our world?"

It is expected that the latest installment of the 'X-Men' franchise will see to re-invent Jackman's Wolverine.
