Till previously played Havok in 2011's X-Men: First Class - and the filmmaker shared a group shot of the cast from that movie.

He wrote: "Welcome back #lucastill #xmen #XmenApocalypse #jamesmcavoy #michaelfassbender #jenniferlawrence #nicholashoult #rosebyrne How time flies! #XmenFirstClass"

The brother of Cyclops (played by Tye Sheridan in the new movie), Havok has the power to absorb energy and fire it in powerful kinetic beams.

X-Men: Apocalypse is due out next May.
