It seems like it is time to start the speculation as to which X-Men are joining the cast and which actors will be playing them as Bryan Singer teases the casting process is beginning for the next X-Men movie.

Is This 'Dark Knight Rises' Villain Facing The X-Men Next?

So far, the rumors surrounding X-Men: Apocalypse, and talks with the writer, have hinted that Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler could be re-cast and appearing in the next movie as younger versions of the original characters. The roles were played by Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Halle Berry and Alan Cumming respectively in the original trilogy.

A few other names that could appear in the film are Mr. Sinister and Archangel, who have also been hinted at as horsemen for Apocalypse. Archangel, who was played by Ben Foster in X-Men: The Last Stand, is expected to re-join the cast as one of Apocalypse's helpers before coming back to the X-Men.

Is Hugh Jackman Headed To 'Deadpool' For A Cameo?

Mr. Sinister has yet to appear on film, with the only hint of him seen as a throwaway in X2, but is another name that has been rumored to appear as a horseman of Apocalypse as well. It would also allow the villain to appear before becoming a bigger bad guy in future X-Men movies and spin-offs.

Apocalypse has been teased to be the biggest X-Men movie yet with The Dark Knight Rises' Tom Hardy being rumored to play the title role.

The film is directed by Bryan Singer and is expected to come out on May 27, 2016.
