"X-Men: Apocalypse" hasn't even begun filming yet, but the viral marketing campaign has already hit the internet. Earlier this week, the Youtube Channel M Underground uploaded this video: a pseudo-conspiracy theory about the Mutant threat.

X-Men: Apocalypse will detail the rise of the franchise's most iconic villain, and will focus on the cast from First Class. Bryan Singer is set to direct with a release date in May, 2016.

Man, blue balls spread pretty quickly in mutants.

The Rogue Cut, if you didn't know, is a re-imagining of X-Men: Days of Future Past with Rogue's storyline left in the final product. Unfortunately Singer and Fox decided to remove her plot from the theatrical release to save time. Now all you fans of the southern belle turned mutant, can see what appears to be a brand new story.

This newest campaign for X-Men: Days of Future Past has developed a website detailing Magneto's involvement with the assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963 Dallas, TX.

French actress Léa Seydoux from Blue is the Warmest Color and the upcoming 24th James Bond pic, Spectre, is reported to have been offered the female lead in Fox's upcoming Gambit solo film. Something of a passion project for Channing Tatum, the actor has been attached to star since the movie was nothing more than a rumor floating around Hollywood.

Léa will reportedly be playing Bella Donna Boudreaux, the daughter of the leader of a New Orleans' assassin's guild, and Gambit's first love. The two are married to unite her father's guild and the theives' guild to which Gambit belongs. Things quickly turn south and after the nuptials the card throwing cajun must flee.



Bella Donna, of course, has her own mutant powers similar to Gambit's, plasma blasts. Will she be an aide to or antagonist of Tatum's anti-hero? The best bet is on a little of both.

We'll see how Channing's cajun accent compares to the natural accent of the French actress. If she accepts the role, this movie could sound weirder than Costner's Robin Hood.

Marvel's newest comic book teaser art for their big summer event series is appealing directly to 90's Kid Nostalgia. X-Men 92 appears to be a continuation of the popular 90's comic and cartoon series. With a lineup featuring Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Jubilee, Gambit, Rogue, Storm and Beast, this version of the X-Men might be their most iconic.

Every day for weeks on end now, Marvel has been teasing the return of classic story lines, but this one definitely has our attention. Now, if they can get that theme song in those pages, too, it'll be a bestseller.

Realtalk though: What have they done to his voice?
