EXCLUSIVE FINAL ARTWORK CONFIRMED – Superhero sequel “X-Men: Apocalypse” is coming to UK Steelbook with an HMV exclusive
UPDATE JUNE 14TH 14:00 – THE FINAL ARTWORK HAS NOW BEEN CONFIRMED, WITH AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE HI-RES VERSIONS BELOW
A mixed critical reaction is unlikely to stop the latest X-Men movie being a big hit at the box office, as it closes the ‘First Class’ trilogy focused on the the younger incarnations of the characters.
As expected, the movie will be getting a steelbook release, and HMV have the UK exclusive, with pre-orders live now. The release date is still TBC, though it will contain the 3D version of the movie in additon to 2D.
Pre-order: HMV
Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-Men: Apocalypse. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
@hmvtweets yay! pre-ordered 🙂

Just paid of it thanks

I hope they change that artwork!
Final Art work, that’s why i qualified it as : Distressful
Ordered. Awesome
No word on a 3D disc being included? It was for The Days of Future Past Steelbook so I really hope they include 3D again.
HMV’s listing does state 3D – http://tidd.ly/5814e444
Thanks. I checked the link quickly on my break at work earlier and must have missed that. Now Pre Ordered. Thanks again for the heads up 🙂
So-called “Critics” have absolutely no idea what makes a good movie these days. It’s like they have some special formula that dictates a score based on who directed it and who stars in it and they don’t even watch the movie. IMDB 8.1 says all I need to know about this and as always, the critics have it wrong… again.
Agreed…singer made a good job of the ones he did…no reason why this one should be any different
Does this mean Zavvi won’t be releasing a steelbook of XM:Apocalypse?
Correct, HMV have the UK exclusive
I live in the U.S. How can I get a copy? HMV won’t deliver to the U.S.
I guess get friendly with someone in the UK who can order it and send it on?
There may be a US steelbook with the same art
Lets hope. However 1/2 the time it won’t be released in 3D like the Best Buy version of Batman vs Superman. Had to order it from Amazon.de. Maybe that’s where I will go look for it. On Amazon Germany or France. Or wait till someone sells the HMV version on eBay.
@hmvtweets holy smokes that is LUSH!!
@hmvtweets I pre-ordered mine on May 23rd, and dayum that artwork is gorgeous!
That’s actually impressive, zavvi are normally the ones that let you down
I really like it. Perfect companion to my Adamantium boxset and Days of Future Past Steelbook 🙂 I had already preordered anyway and glad I did 🙂
Looks good?
@hmvtweets The art is better than the film
Thanks just pre ordered, anyone know if zavvi are getting a x men steelbook?
No this is an HMV exclusive
Thanks
@hmvtweets day one purchase for me.
I already pre ordered and paid – the artwork is nice.
