I am a self-confessed fan of X-Men. Hence, I was excited to spend an afternoon catching X-Men cosplayers in action at [email protected] and taking photographs with them. These activities and promotions at [email protected] are happening in conjunction with the official release of X-Men: Apocalypse on 19 May.
Can you guess which characters are the cosplayers impersonating?
Plot Synopsis of X-Men: Apocalypse
The movie is set in the 80s and focused primarily on the X-Men: First Class cast – Professor Xavier, Magneto, Beast and Mystique. We see a few familiar faces but largely a host of newcomers will be joining the cast in this new X-men film.
Among them is Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Ben Hardy as Angel, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Olivia Munn as Psylocke and Lana Condor as Jubilee. This is Jubilee’s debut appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse. Oscar Isaac (appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as Apocalypse, the film’s main antagonist.
Since ancient times, the first and most powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur, also known as “Apocalypse” was awakened from a hibernation of thousands of years. He decided to obliterate the modern world out of sheer disgust and recruited four followers or the four horsemen of the Apocalypse – Famine, Pestilence, War and Death to help him in this quest as only the strong will survive.
Now, the young X-Men, led by Charles Xavier and Mystique will need to face off their greatest nemesis yet and defeat him.
