April Fools! 😉

Original Prank:

The cast for Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: APOCALYPSE continues to grow as ‘The Maze Runner’ actress Kaya Scodelario and Carter Jenkins (TV’s The Following) join the cast as “the twins,” Northstar and Aurora.

Normally associated with Marvel’s Alpha Flight, the mutant twins share the ability of flying at superhuman speeds, superhuman stamina, endurance and reflexes. When in physical contact with each other, they can emit bursts of brilliant white light which stun their enemies.

They will appear in villainous roles, possibly as members of Magneto’s Brotherhood or followers of Apocalypse.

Scodelario and Jenkins join a cast that includes past X-Men talent, along with newcomers Oscar Isaac as En Sabah Nur, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Aleandra Shipp as Storm, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Lana Condor as Jubilee and Ben Hardy as Angel.

Production begins late April for a May 27, 2016 theatrical release.
