Powerful mutant awakens in sequel

Win a pair of tickets to see X-men: Apocalypse

- Shirley Bartynek

Your Advertiser has teamed up with our friends at the Vue Cinema, Hamilton, to give you yet another chance to win a pair of tickets for X-men: Apocalypse.

Worshipped as a god since ancient times, Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) was the very first mutant from the X-men universe, with his ability being to amass the powers of other mutants, leading to his immortalit­y and cementing his legendary status.

Now, after several millennia, he awakens in a very different world one that he despises.

He immediatel­y sets about recruiting an army of powerful mutants, headed up by the equally disillusio­ned Magneto (Michael Fassbender) with the aim of destroying the world as we know it, replacing it with a new one he will rule.

As Earth braces itself for what looks like certain destructio­n, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) and Professor X (James Mcavoy) lead the opposing mutants into an almighty battle with Apocalypse in a bid to save mankind.

But, how do you stop a supposedly unstoppabl­e, invincible being?

X-men: Days of Future Past (2014) proved that, despite being seven films in, the X-men franchise was showing no signs of slowing down.

The film was the series’ most critically-acclaimed release as well as the highest grosser, taking over £500m at the global box office.

Bryan Singer returns to the director’s chair once again, and Academy Award Winner Jennifer Lawrence (Joy) returns as Raven, whilst the brilliant Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) plays the almighty Apocalypse.

Support comes from several rising stars, including Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road), Olivia Munn (Zoolander 2) and Evan Peters (American Horror Story).

All you have to do to correctly answer this enter is simple question:

Who plays professor X in the movie?
