The video clip cuts rapidly between all the on-set chairs listing the names of the likes of Magneto Logan, Xavier and then the new stars.

Though the actors playing them have not been officially confirmed, it's likely that Omar Sy will be playing Bishop, the son of Aborigine mutant refugees, one of Xavier's security enforcers, but also something of an anti-hero.

Warpath is more than likely going to be played by Booboo Stewart, the only Native American member of the cast.

The character has powers of superhuman strength and speed.

They join a celeb-heavy cast to say the least, including Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Fan Bingbing and Peter Dinklage.

It's due out in July next year.
