Bryan Singer<\/strong> revealed today that the mutant Caliban<\/a><\/strong> plays a role in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a>. The director instagrammed<\/a> a new photo<\/a> from the film’s Montreal set, teasing “Caliban’s place of business.”<\/p>\n

Created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, Caliban first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #148 on August 1981. He’s recruited by Callisto to find other mutants using his psionic-sensing abilities, forming an underground community called the Morlocks. He’s been affiliated with X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor and the villainous Apocalypse as the Horseman of Death. His form was genetically altered by Apocalypse, drastically increasing his size and strength.<\/p>\n

No word on which actor is portraying Caliban. Whether the character requires prosthetics or CG remains to be see.<\/p>\n

Production on the film continues through September in Montreal for a May 27, 2016 theatrical release.<\/p>\n
