Archangel was reported before to join X-Men Apocalypse as one of the four horsemen and it is rumored that Ben Foster will reprise his role in the movie.

MTV News conducted an interview before with X-Men writer Simon Kinberg about Archangel's possible appearance in the movie.

"I would say in terms of making any character decisions on 'Apocalypse' is, we set back the clock on 'Days of Future Past,' so a lot could have changed from that point in 1973 forward, meaning people could have been born earlier," Kinberg said. "The whole world changed after those events. Things that were represented even 'X1′ and 'X2′ and 'X3′ wouldn't have happened in quite the same way."

Enstarz has reported that joining Archangel in the line-up will be Plague, Mister Sinister and possibly Wolverine, but no confirmation has been made.

Meanwhile, there have been reports that the new Gambit (played by "22 Jump Street" star Channing Tatum) will not appear in the latest X-Men film.

According to reports from Ecumenical News, Kinberg has answered that questions regarding Gambit's appearance in the movie.

"I genuinely don't know the answer to that question."

"It's something we are all talking about whether it would be good for Gambit to be in a mainline X-Men movie or he would be in his own standalone movie potentially one day to be able to be in another X-Men movie after his Gambit movie introduces him. I really don't know the answer."

He further adds,

 "I don't think there is a hard and fast rule which way is better. I think both ways have worked and I think actually the real question will be is there a role that is strong and specific enough for Gambit in a mainline X-Men movie whether it be Apocalypse or future X-Men movie that would be the right way to introduce the character."
