Stop what you’re doing because the new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse is here and it’s all kind of awesome.

20th Century Fox

Featuring lots of badass shots of returning Mystique, played by Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy as Professor X and Michael Fassbender’s Magneto, we’re also treated to a good look at the Xavier Institute’s new recruits.

20th Century Fox

Sophie Turner joins as Jean Grey, Olivia Munn can be seen in a rather bonkers costume as Psylocke, and Ben Hardy (who used to play Peter Beale in EASTENDERS) is now Archangel. Oscar Isaac, fresh outta Star Wars: The Force Awakens, turns to the dark side this time around as old-world God and naughty mutant, Apocalypse.

20th Century Fox

Check out the badass new students AND our returning all faves (oh hai Quicksilver!) in the trailer and GET EXCITED for May when the mutant war takes over cinemas.

JJ Abrams handpicked him for the role of Finn after seeing John in 'Attack The Block'. But we like to think it was because of his high midichlorian count.

He had the perfect response for idiots who questioned his casting, posting on Instagram, “To whom it may concern…get used to it.” SLAY.

Reading the script for TFA got him in touch with his emotions, “When I read the script I cried, and I’m not really a big crier.” May we offer up a shoulder?

Disney

But he lied to JJ when waiting to hear if he got the part, pretending he was hanging out in an art gallery rather waiting at home!

If you were at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, you might have brushed up against John, who admitted he wandered around the event disguised as a Stormtrooper. We just had a proper nerdgasm.

Before Star Wars, John was cast as a young boxer in a Spike Lee pilot called 'Da Brick', but it never got picked up. Are they mad?

The strangest gift he’s been sent by a fan was a cap with “Samurai” in Japanese written across it. He’s not said anything about the Beanie Babies we’ve been sending for over a year, though ☹

You’ll see him again later on this year as a tech guru in The Circle, alongside Emma Watson, who he says is “Frickin’ amazing”, like we didn’t know that already.

After LEGO Batman won the LEGO movie, he’s getting his own outing. Of course, the Dark Knight isn’t rocking solo, as LEGO Robin (voiced by Michael Cera) will be busting bricks at his side.

Why yes, that is buff Peter Beale off EastEnders. Humanity’s new evil overlord in 'X-Men: Apocalypse' comes flanked by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – Magneto, Psylocke, Storm and of course Beale… sorry, Archangel.

Having guest-starred in both 'Arrow' and 'The Flash,' Brandon Routh’s The Atom gets his own show, kinda. Well, he’s actually heading up the hero-ensemble of DC’s 'Legends Of Tomorrow,' travelling through time to halt the end of the world.

Warner Bros.

It’s Mark Zuckerberg on bonkers-evil crack with Harry Styles’ hair. Superman’s nemesis numero uno Lex Luthor gets a youthful do-over with Jesse Eisenberg going the full OTT as the megalomaniac determined to dent the Man of Steel in ‘Dawn of Justice’.

Warner Bros.

Cara Delevingne’s move into movies continues at a Usain Bolt-esque pace, with the former model hiding a dark secret under those magnificent eyebrows as the mystical Enchantress, the Suicide Squad’s resident witch.

We reckon Miranda’d really fall on her bum if she realised lovely Gary was the devil. Yup, Tom Ellis is playing Neil Gaiman’s Lucifer – hitting TVs in Jan – who quits his day job in order to get caught up in shenanigans in LA. Such fun!

Warner Bros.

Marvel have been lording the TV, what with ‘Agent Carter,’ ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Jessica Jones’. The latter’s superhumanly strong on-off squeeze Luke Cage gets his own show ahead of joining Jessica, Daredevil and Iron First in the super-team ‘The Defenders’.

Netflix

That Dominic Cooper’s a greedy sod. He’s already doing Marvel duties in 'Agent Carter' but now he’s playing Garth Ennis’s mega-powered 'Preacher,' Jesse Custer. He’ll be kicking ass and taking confessions for ten episodes from the middle of next year.

AMC

How do you kill a god from another planet? The answer, according to Lex Luther, is to build another superbeing: meet Superman’s ugly ‘distant relative’ Doomsday, occupying the ‘terrifying monster’ corner of the 'Batman vs Superman' bout.

After a few years in flopperama hell – ‘After Earth,’ anyone? - Will Smith finally takes aim at the comic books, with Big Willie taking on ‘Suicide Squad’s Deadshot, a master marksman and assassin: well, the clue was in the name.

Warner Bros.

Why waste The Punisher on the movies, where he can’t perform his own brand of vicious vigilantism? Instead, the man in the skull jumper – played by John (Walking Dead) Bernthal – will be making Hell’s Kitchen a rougher place in ‘Daredevil’ Season 2.

Netflix

Good trident, sir. 'Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice' is going to give us a glimpse of wider superworld, ahead of assorted solo movies and the Justice League movie. First out the pool will be Jason ‘Khal Drogo’ Momoa’s 'Aquaman' movie...

Warner Bros.

…while The Flash will be speeding in soon after. This will see Ezra Miller, last seen screaming his safeword at Amy Schumer in ‘Trainwreck,’ play Barry Allen rather than the current TV incarnation, Grant Gustin. No, we don’t know why either.

Warner Bros.

Charming, intelligent and devastatingly handsome. But that’s enough about Benedict Cumberbatch, the otter-faced thesp’s next character – master-magician Doctor Strange – will be heading Marvel’s big leap into the supernatural.

Disney

Fresh from saving the galaxy as Poe Dameron in ‘The Force Awakens,’ Oscar Isaac will be bringing it to its knees in ‘X-Men: Apocalypse,’ playing the sub-titular God... that is if baldy and his X-Men can’t stop him first.

The Louisiana legend Gambit is about to join his Mutant mates in movie-land (let’s just ignore that Wolverine movie) with Channing Tatum perfecting his Cajun accent and probably getting his guns out as the explosive, rogueish card sharp.

Love hurts, especially when it’s kicking you in the clackers. Daredevil’s greatest love interest Elektra (Elodie Yung) – who also happens to be a sai-wielding ninja assassin – is about to make Season 2 much more complicated for Matt Murdock.

Netflix

Marvel have been hinting at the Black Panther for a few movies, with the crown prince of Wakanda – as played by Chadwick Boseman, who bossed it in ‘Get On Up’ - finally bringing it to ‘Captain America: Civil War’ ahead of his own movie in 2018.

“I’m not going to kill you. I’m just going to hurt you real, real bad...” Thirty Seconds to Mars’ lust-god Jared Leto is looking to take his mega-tatted Joker to some dark new places as the Suicide Squad’s MVP. The V stands for violent.

Warner Bros.

She looks like she’d be better off shoplifting the local newsagents, but – get this – The Negasonic Teenage Warhead (or Ellie to her mum) is about to steal the entire ‘Deadpool’ movie, if she can be, like, bothered or something. Whatever.

Fox

Audiences for ‘Captain America: Civil War’ will get a sneaky peak of the latest Spider-Man reboot. The wallcrawler is going back to high school in 2017 with Tom Holland now playing the surprisingly difficult to bully Peter Parker.

The trash talking, brain-blasting, unkillable, great- and bad-assed cult legend gets the movie he deserves. With Ryan Reynolds squeezing into the latex, ‘Deadpool’ will be busting the fourth wall and people’s heads in equal measure.

Fox

Well, if the chin fits the cowl… Bat-fleck and his no doubt slightly silly super-growl make their big screen debuts in comic-book-dom’s biggest ever dust up: ‘Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ – the year’s most ma-hoo-sive movie.

Warner Bros.

Comic-book cult and cosplay fave Harley Quinn finally hits cinemas in ‘Suicide Squad,’ played by Margot Robbie. Armed with her trademark baseball bat, the Joker-obsessed mischief-maker is going to thwack it out of the park. And also kill you.
