X-Men Apocalypse to talk to Ben Hardy

In casting news, looks like X-Men Apocalypse is in talks with ‘EastEnders’ star Ben Hardy for an undisclosed important role in the film. Most are guessing this could be the role of Angel, which is due, in part, mainly to the release of production art by director Bryan Singer. Angel was introduced to the X-Men franchise in that awful Bret Ratner sequel, X-Men: Last Stand, but the time travel (cinema’s version of whiteout) that happened in X-Men: Days of Future Past erased that from the cannon of the storyline. So Angel, who is key to the Apocalypse plot will be showing up in this flick that takes place in the 80s.
