Fox will release
X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27, 2016, the studio (and director Brian Singer) announced today. That keeps movies from the
X-Men franchise hitting around the third week of May, similar to Fox’s release date for
X-Men: Days of Future Past, which will premiere May 22, 2014 (see "
Reshoots for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'").
Fox must be pretty sure of the results of its next
X-Men release, and have deals with at least some of the talent, to be planning a new release well before the current one is in theaters.
