Fox released the first trailer for its next "X-Men" movie, "X-Men: Apocalypse," Friday morning and it looks really good.

The new film will follow the younger "X-Men" cast from the prequel films as they go up against the first mutant, Apocalypse. From the trailer it looks like he can control every other X-Men and its not looking good for Charles Xavier. 

Here's the official synopsis from Fox:

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.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" will be in theaters May 27, 2016.
