First Look at Alexandra Shipp as Storm in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

Brace yourselves! A storm of new pictures, as well as a teaser from the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse   are on your way. If you thought Alexandra Shipp (House of Anubis) was right, or otherwise "not good enough" for the role of Storm, now is your chance to say what you think, as a sneak peek and new pictures from the new film have been released after the X-Men cast attended the 2015 San Diego Comic Con on the 11th of July. To watch the full panel, click here.


Speaking of Alexandra, the past year has been quite a busy one for the rising star. Despite the fact she was portraying the lead role of 2014's most controversial biopic, she's also been involved in quite succesful projects like Drumline: A New Beat, as well as the upcoming Straight Outta Compton.

You might recall when, last September, X-Men writer Simon Kinberg answered fan questions about the recent X-Men: Days of Future Past, as well as the next installment in the franchise, "Apocalypse", revealing that "first-wave" characters like Storm (as played by Halle Berry thus far) would have to be recast in the next film.

The next installment in the film series, X-Men: Apocalypse is officialy announced to be out in May 27th, 2016, and will as well star Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games), Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones), Rose Byrne (Neighbours), Nicholas Hoult (Skins) and more.
