Showcasing the good and bad sides of mutants are two new team posters for X-Men: Apocalypse - titled 'Defend' and 'Destroy'.
This seems to be Fox's biggest X-Men franchise yet, with an all-star cast reuniting for a brand new adventure, joined by new names like Oscar Isaac and Olivia Munn.
Oscar Isaac plays the supervillian, Apocalypse, leading the 'Destory' team with his four Horsemen - Michael Fassbender’s Magneto, Olivia Munn’s Psylocke, Alexandra Shipp’s Storm, and Ben Hardy’s Angel.
On the other hand, the other 'Defend' poster sees Professor X (James McAvoy) and his team of six mutants: Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique, Kodi Smit-McPhee’s Nightcrawler, Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan’s Cyclops, Evan Peters’ Quicksilver and Nicolas Hoult’s Beast.

[Synopsis]
Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
