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, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign.

- As he is considered extremely dangerous.

- Peter.

What's up?

- I'm just checking on you.

- I'm good, playing Pac-Man.

Are you sure

you weren't watching this?

The world was celebrating 10 years of

peace between mutants and man kind.

You're going after him, aren't you?

You wanted me to get out

of the house more, right?

I can't stop you.

Nobody can.

Trust me.

This won't end well.

Nothing does with him.

I'm not afraid of him.

You should be.

XAVIER'S SCHOOL

FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS

I've read so much about this place.

But being here,

it actually seems kind of...

... familiar.

- It's strange.

- It could be quite.

Shall we?

NOW PLAYING:

THE RETURN OF THE JEDI

I'm just saying,

"The Empire" is still the best.

It's the most complex,

the most sophisticated,

wasn't afraid to have a dark ending.

Yeah, but come on. If it

wasn't for the first one

you wouldn't have any of

the rest of the movies.

Well, at least we can all agree

the third one is always the worst.

Hank.

You in here?

I'd like you to meet the...

Moira.

Raven?

I'm sorry, have we met?

Hank, Alex, agent MacTaggert, would

you give us just one moment please?

Of course.

Charles, why didn't she recognize me?

She knew me in this form.

Well. After you left me

on the beach in Cuba,

I took her memories of that time.

Have a sit.

Lucky girl.

It's good to see you, Raven.

- Welcome home.

- This isn't my house.

It was once.

No, it was your home.

I just lived here.

I barely even recognize it now.

Yeah, I have plans for this place.

I mean to turn it

into a real campus.

A university. Not just for mutants,

even for humans too.

Living and working,

... growing together.

You know, I really believed that once.

I really believed we can

change them after DC.

We did.

No Charles.

They still hate and fear us.

It's just harder to see because

they're more polite about it.

I got sick of living that lie.

That's why you're not

in your natural blue form.

I'm not going to be the face

of a world that doesn't exist.

Things are better.

The world is better.

Maybe in Westchester.

Out there, mutants are still running,

hiding, living in fear.

Just because there's not a war

doesn't mean there's peace.

If you want to teach your kids

something, teach them that.

Teach them to fight.

Otherwise, they might as well live

in this house for the rest of their lives.

You still sound just like him.

You sound just like Erik.

That's why I'm here.

He's resurfaced.

He had a wife and a daughter.

They were killed.

Along with a handful of policemen.

The whole world

will be looking for him.

But you can help me

find him before they do.

Moira, I'm going to have to

ask you to keep this a secret.

I don't even know

what this... is.

It's Cerebro.

- The new model.

- Yeah. I based the color on...

It doesn't matter.

What are those?

Those are all the humans

of the world.

And these...

... are all the mutants.

I'm connected to all of their minds.

The CIA would kill for this.

I know they would.

Where are you, Erik?

Charles?

Hello, old friend.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

I feel your pain.

And your loss.

You think, because

you can see into my head...

... you know how it feels?

You are looking in the wrong place, Charles.

What happened to them,

it was terribly wrong.

But, come back to us.

I can help you.

Help me?

Think of your wife,

think of your daughter.

- What would they have wanted?

- They would have wanted to live.

I tried your way, Charles.

I tried to be like them.

Live like them.

But it always ends the same way.

They took everything away from me.

Now...

We'll take everything from them.

Hank.

He's not alone.

Extraordinary.

What do you see?

The answer.

Oh my god.

Thank you for letting me in.

Charles.

Charles, get out!

Charles?

I have never felt

power like this before.

Charles.

Charles, get out!

What's going on?

What's happening?

I think...

Someone's taken over Cerebro.

- They've taken control of it.

- To do what?

To connect.

It's always the same.

And now all this.

No more stones.

Not more spears.

No more slings.

No more swords.

No more weapons!

No more systems!

No more!

No more superpowers.

Charles!

Hank!

What the hell is going on?

Who's turning the keys?

The men are.

Who agreed with the launch?

Hank, do something!

It won't shut down!

We've lost contact with the

Trident and Polaris subs.

The Air Force is reporting

the same thing.

So much faith in their... tools

and their... machines.

Russia, China, England,

Israel, India.

Everybody's got nukes in the air.

What's the target?

Where are they going?

Up.

Straight up.

- Alex.

- What?

Destroy it!

Destroy everything.

Destroy Cerebro!

Wreak havoc.

You can fire your arrows

from the Tower of Babel.

BUT YOU CAN NEVER STRIKE GOD!

Charles.

Charles, are you okay?

Erik.

Charles!

Alex!

Hey!

Hey, a**hole!

All will be revealed, my child.

Stop!

NO!

Wow!

Where...

Where did you...?

I was looking for the Professor.

I thought he lived here.

They took him away.

She's the one.

That's her.

Are you sure?

Is she going to help us?

They look up to you.

Right now.

They need you.

That's not what they need.

Whoa!

That's far out.

What happened?

Where's Alex?

Where's my brother?

I'm pretty sure I got everybody.

Alex was closest to the blast.

Alex.

We're 1 click out.

Alright, boys.

This is it.

Please remain calm.

Scott.

Medical assistance is on the way.

Please remain calm.

Medical assistance is on the way.

Please remain calm.

Medical assistance is on the way.

Please remain calm.

Medical assistance is on the way.

Hey!

Moira MacTaggert, CIA!

Thank God you're here!

WAIT !

Fire!

I want her!

Him!

Him!

- And her!

- Yes, sir.

Leave the kids.

- What do we do?

- Keep quiet.

X-Ray 7, I'm doing a

final sweep on the ground.

Alright, you!

Are you clear?

Clear!

Pack them up.

Let's go.

Come on, let's move!

Thanks, Jean.

We got to help them.

- Kurt, can you get us in that thing?

- You want to get in there?

What if the soldiers see us?

Don't worry.

They won't see us, trust me.

Hold on.

Kurt, get us all out of here!

I can't!

When they closed the doors,

there's some kind of electric field.

- It's like Berlin all over.

- Jean, get into the pilots heads.

- Don't let them take off!

- I can't.

I can't reach the pilots.

I can't reach anyone.

We're also getting reports

from Europe and Asia.

This was not just

the US phenomenon.

It seems the entire world has been

disarmed of nuclear weapons.

The Pentagon has confirmed

multiple launches from Russia,

as well as the UK,

Israel and China.

- Look!

- Up there.

So far, there has been

no response from the White House.

Eye witness accounts have been pouring in

from across the globe.

Authorities are not sure if it was

an act of peace or an act of war.

Dear Father.

Hold me in the light of God.

It should have been me.

He was the one who's going to
