Writer Simon Kinberg has been hyping up 'Days of Future Past's sequel 'X-Men: Apocalypse', describing it as a film unlike any other superhero movie to date.
Set to be directed by Bryan Singer and confirmed to feature a handful of the series' original stars, Apocalypse will focus on the younger cast of mutants taking on the eponymous super-mutant.
In an interview with IGN, Kinberg said: "The kind of scope and scale we're talking about is like disaster movie, extinction level event. Sort of Roland Emmerich-style movie-making, which you've never seen in an X-Men movie, or any superhero movie, which I think is exciting."
Kinberg also talked about the character of Apocalypse - the 5000-year-old hugely powerful mutant who is thought to be on the original mutants.
"The thing that we've spent the most time talking about is not just the visual execution of the character, which is its own challenge - creating a character that's the most powerful I think of any mutant villain that we've seen in the X-Men movies so far, more powerful than Magneto," he said.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is set for box office domination following its release last week. 'Apocalypse' is set for release in 19 May 2016.
