No word on who he’ll be playing yet, but he’s set to star alongside Sophie Turner, Michael Fassbender, and possibly Jennifer Lawrence & James McCavoy. All of whom will be reprising their roles from X-Men: Apocalypse. This news from CBR comes right after we reported about the possibility of the Shi’ar Empire playing a role in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

Slowly but surely fans are getting more and more news about Fox’s extensive X-Men universe and I for one, am here for all of it!

What about you guys? Lit or nah? Let us know in the comments and on Twitter!
