Here's some news most X-Men fans hoped was coming down the line. Bryan Singer revealed today, to Empire, that Angel is coming to X-Men: Apocalypse and Angel will be played by Ben Hardy, known for his work on the television series EastEnders.

As many fans know, Warren Worthington III and Apocalypse have a history with each other. In the comics, Apocalypse offered to restore Angel's wings, which he lost, but in turn, Apocalypse made him into Archangel,one of his four horsemen of the Apocalypse: Death.

Singer had this to say about Hardy and Angel:

Ben Hardy is Angel – I shall confirm it for you!” said Singer. “But he’s not a very nice Angel! And that’s all I’ll say…

Does that mean we'll be seeing Death/Archangel? Well, from the looks of these concept art images, that may be the case.
