I felt the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer released earlier this morning was actually pretty decent. For one, even though the look of Apocalypse has been met with a lot of initial disdain and comparisons to Ivan Oooze, Apocalypse in the trailer looked better than the first promo images and thankfully wasn’t bright purple.
Now with the first trailer release, Bryan Singer lets it be known a new one will be coming next year, which he states will be even bigger than this one. Singer also talks a bit about what the story is about as the X-Men: Apocalypse Twitter Q&A has kicked off.
A new poster has also been released.
Check out the video:

Synopsis:
Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped 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.
