X-Men: Apocalypse

Those with the greatest power... protect those without.

Everything they built will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one!

—En-Sabah-Nur, the Apocalypse

X-Men: Apocalypse is a 2016 superhero film directed by Bryan Singer. It had the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past returning where Apocalypse (played by Oscar Isaac) awakens from his slumber and plans to reshape Earth.

It was followed by Dark Phoenix in 2019.

Ten years after X-Men: Days of Future Past, groups of humans that worship mutants are growing all around the world. One of those groups worships Apocalypse, an ancient egyptian mutant that was imprisoned by his own followers for his despotism. They unbury Apocalypse from his imprisonment, and the awakened super-villain sets out to Take Over the World, by recruiting powerful mutants for his cause and amplifying their powers, weakening mankind, and, most importantly, seeking Charles Xavier's body for his telepathic powers.

Produced by 20th Century Fox, Marvel Entertainment, Bad Hat Harry Productions, Kinberg Genre, The Donners' Company, Dune Entertainment, and TSG Entertainment. Distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Tropes used in X-Men: Apocalypse include:

Badass Normal: The humans who seal Apocalypse at the prologue. They don't have powers, only a good plan to seal the tyrant inside his own tomb and a suicidal willingness to go die fighting for this cause. If they were seconds faster, Apocalypse would have been killed and the entire plot would never happenned.
Big Bad: En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse.
Bullet Time: The Quicksilver scene at the X-Mansion uses this to portray his speed.
Combat Pragmatist: The polish cops that come to arrest Magneto come using sticks, bows and arrows of wood.
Crash Into Hello: Jean and Scott, that turns nasty as it turns out Jean used to be pretty mean as a teenager.
Darker and Edgier: Since it has one of the more terrifying X-Men villains, it goes to that route.
Disaster Dominoes: Apocalypse's awakening in Egypt causes an earthquake that causes an accident in a factory in Poland where Erik is working that leads to cops come to arrest him that leads to Magneto's daughter Nina using her powers on them that leads to a cop to accidently fire his bow in the exact direction of the girl and her mother. Wow.
Distant Prologue: The beginning takes place at Ancient Egypt.
Dreaming of Things to Come: Jean dreams of Apocalypse's arrival, but the images she sees are so disconnected of each other, along with the sounds, it's impossible to make sense of what she is exactly seeing.
The Eighties: The film is set in 1983.
Fanservice Extra: The ring girl on the fight pit on Germany. The camera turns to her behind as she leaves, since her dress exposes partially her glutes.
First of Its Kind: Apocalypse is the very first mutant.
Generic Doomsday Villain: Apocalypse can be seen as a typical doomsday villain.
Gratuitous English: In-universe. Nightcrawler gets his English nickname from Germans.
Horsemen of the Apocalypse: As in the comics, Apocalypse has four horsemen as his allies.
Legendary in the Sequel: Mystique is adored by mutants and humans alike thanks to saving Nixon in the previous movie.
Luke, I Am Your Father: Quicksilver learns that Magneto is his father.
Male Gaze: The first time we see Mystique, is in her human form in a very flattering dress and high heels, with the camera going upwards from her feet just so you can see the curves of Jennifer Lawrence's body.
Mind Rape: Apocalypse uses this to take control of Charles Xavier.
Ms. Fanservice: Psylocke, that wears a comic-accurate costume, though funnily enough it was not the one she wore as a Caucasian woman but the one she began to wear after the Hand modified her body into one of an Asian assassin.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Magneto saving a fellow co-worker of being crushed by a giant metal object leads to his wife and daughter being killed.
Pet the Dog: In a twisted way, it's shown repeatedly Apocalypse has a far more longer fuse for mutants than for humans. He'll mindlessly kill humans, but only disintegrates Caliban's weapon and ignores him as he is no longer a threat. He also doesn't kill Quicksilver, instead simply defeating him and then torturing him to force Charles to come out of hiding.
Precision F-Strike: Magneto says to Apocalypse "Who the fuck are you?"
Rage Against the Heavens: Magneto can no longer blame mankind only. When his daughter dies, he turns against the creator himself, screaming in anguish if God had made his purpose to be a vengeful assassin.
Required Secondary Powers: Angel has Super Strength so he is able to walk upright with those wings on his back.
The Stinger: It was revealed that Essex Corp was in charge of making new mutants.
Truer to the Text: The costumes are notably more colorful than in the first three films.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In a rare case of a villainous version of this, Apocalypse's awakening was never intended to, through a long chain of events, lead Magneto to lose his new family.
You Can't Thwart Stage One: Apocalypse launches all nuclear missiles into space by mind-controlling humans through Xavier, preventing that humans can use their most deadly weapons against him.
