Meet the all-new, all-different X-Men!
Ever since it was announced that X-Men: Apocalypse would be set in the 80s, we’ve been wondering who would play the younger versions of Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey.

Now we finally have our answer!
On Thursday returning director Bryan Singer announced the new mutants on Twitter, writing:
Meet our new and brilliant young mutants: @Alexshipppp as #Storm @SophieT as #JeanGrey and @TyeSheridan as #Cyclops. #XmenApocalypse
— Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) January 23, 2015
That’s Mud‘s Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, House Of Anubis star Alexandra Shipp as Storm, and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner as Jean Grey.
They may be half the age, but they don’t look half bad!
We’re a little sad no Lupita Nyong’o for Storm, but we look forward to seeing what Ms. Shipp can do! And if she wears that fab mohawk! LOLz!
