‘X-Men’ gets a new cast for outing

New cast for X-Men: Apocalypse has been announced and young Storm, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been cast in the new movie.

Director Brian Singer on his Twitter page announced that Alexandra Shipp will play Storm, Sophie Turner will take on Jean, and Tye Sheridan will star as Cyclops.

 

Of the three, Sophie is the most recognisable face who plays Sansa Stark in the fantasy epic drama, HBO’s Game of Thrones. Tye is also one of the upcoming faces that starred in 2012’s Mud; Shipp is relatively new and has starred in Nickleodean’s mystery show House of Anubis as KTRush.

All three cast members will join James McAvoy, Micheal Fassender and Jennifer Lawrence and Oscar Issac for the sixth X-Men movie of the franchise.

Shooting starts on X-Men: Apocalypse in Montreal this April for a 27 May, 2016, release.
