Twentieth Century Fox will be releasing a new trailer for the latest X-Men film, X-Men: Apocalypse, tomorrow, and to perhaps tease us a bit as to what we might be seeing in it, director Bryan Singer posted the below. As you can see it appears that there is a X-Men comics franchise character who we were previously unaware was going to be in the film – Fred Dukes, aka The Blob. The character was last seen in the lackluster 2009 X-Men: Origins – Wolverine, and there was played by Kevin Durand. It is not certain who is playing the villainous mutant this time around or how much time he’ll be in the film. We’ll find out in just a little over a month when X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27th.
