Last week, director Bryan Singer announced* that the younger roles of Jean Grey, Cyclops and Storm have been cast for X-Men: Apocalypse. Sofie Turner (Game of Thrones) will play Jean Grey, Alexandra Shipp (Lifetime's Aaliyah Biopic) will play Storm and Tye Sheridan (The Tree of Life) will play Cyclops.
Furthermore, Rose Byrne** will reprise her role as CIA Agent Moira McTaggert. She was last seen in 2011's X-Men: First Class. How involved she'll be is still unknown at this time.
Lastly, Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian Mckellan will not*** be reprising their iconic roles as Professor X and Magneto, due to the characters being written out of the story in order to focus on the First Class characters.
