X-Men: Apocalypse Promotional Images Highlight New X-Men Costumes 

movies have consistently performed well at the box office for the past sixteen years, yet there’s been one consistent complaint from hardcore fans since Bryan Singer’s very first

film debuted back in 2000 – and that is the X-Men’s costumes. Fans of the comic books and cartoons know that even the most modern of

costumes had a lot of color, while the film version have made a point of sticking to more “grounded” designs (like black leather). However, images from Singer’s upcoming 

 have revealed the film may have a different take on mutant garb.

The battle rages on for fans that want the colorful

costumes of the 1990s to make their way to the big screen. Now additional tie-in product images for

This fantastic nod to the comics, along with all the inclusion of Magneto’s stylishly red costume should satisfy some fans. Plus, Psylocke (Olivia Munn) will boast her trademark purple costume, so there’s that to consider here too.

yellow and black, despite a few deleted scene teases. Hopefully, that realization will come to pass while he’s still on board with portraying the character.
