Brian Singer took to the unusual mode of Twitter for a surprise announcement to fans of the casting of three new actors to X-Men: Apocalypse roles. Alexandra Shipp will play Storm, Sophie Turner will play Jean Grey and Tye Sheridan will play Cyclops, according to Singer.

The fact that X-Men: Apocalypse is set significantly after the events of X-Men: First Class and way before the events of the first X-Men movie (which opened the modern-day chronology of films) meant that new actors needed to be cast for these iconic roles, replacing Halle Berry, James Marsden, and Famke Janssen.
