"X-Men: Apocalypse" has released a casting notice that reveals may reveal two new characters.

The casting call suggests that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Channing Tatum's Gambit will most likely make appearances in the film. It states, "It has all lead to this. All of the battles (both outside and within the group), action, relationships and time travel that the uncanny X-Men have endured have led to this, their biggest story ever -- 'X-Men: Apocalypse.' Following the universe changing events of 2014's 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' comes this epic mutant adventure and with it a number of casting opportunities for performers of all ages."

The call continues, "'X-Men: Apocalypse' will follow the super powered mutants battling their most powerful foe yet, the devious and devastatingly dangerous Apocalypse. This legendary villain uses his incredible abilities to alter his physical form, access other mutant superpowers and telekinesis to recruit a cult-like group called the Four Horsemen to be his servants and do his bidding in an all out war against the X-Men."
