In the latest film in the big screen X-Men franchise by Bryan Singer, the uncanny mutants face off against the first of their kind, 'Apocalypse' and his four harbingers of death and destruction, his 'Horsemen'. Set in the 1980s time period the movie features younger versions of classic X-Men - 'Jean Grey' (Sophie Turner), 'Storm' (Alexandra Shipp), 'Nightcrawler' (Kodi Smit-McPhee), 'Angel' (Ben Hardy) and 'Scott Summers aka Cyclops' played by Tye Sheridan.

Cyclops battle armour was photographed on display at
ArcLight Santa Monica cinema on May 7, 2016.
Louise Mingenbach is
Costume Designer for
Marvel's merry mutants again this time around and you can also see
Michael Fassbender's Magneto costume from X-Men: Apocalypse on display at
ArcLight Hollywood currently.

The young
X-Men uniform designs certainly look very militaristic (well I suppose they are at war with
Apocalypse and his
Four Horsemen), and at first they appear all-black but on closer inspection the armour and arm guards are black, but there's also a touch of olive army green there too.

Of course
Cyclops is also sporting some ruby quartz
Ray-Bans to help keep his eyes optic blasts under control.
I'm sure fans of the iconic comic book character and
Cosplayers alike will appreciate all these detail shots to help them recreate their own costume looks.
Let's hope this inexperienced
Cyclops is strong enough to survive in battle against
Apocalypse (he has a nasty habit of dying in these movie adaptations).
