can someone please explain what the end credit sequence was all about,. did'nt get that one.

basically the guy at the end is Apocalypse and will be the villain for the next Xmen film which will be released in 2016

thanks for the reply. I'm assuming that was a comic book thing,as I'm just a casual fan of the movies.

Yeah. I don't think the TV shows really went into those details. Most of these credit spoilers are for that very reason. Sorry for the long winded reply. :P 

But the 90's cartoon had a whole arc with apocalypse if I remember correctly (god I miss 90's cartoons). He is even in some of the capcom games.

The ending wasn't Apocalypse. That was the summoning of Apocalypse by Ozymandias. Hense the manipulation of the stone and the chanting of Apocalypses real name. I really enjoyed Apocalypse story arc in TAS. To be honest, I think that TAS is why I really hate Halle Berry as Storm and Anna Paquin as Rogue....they don't sound the way they should in my opinion. 

And I agree about the campiness. Some of the jokes are outright terrible, Halle Berry is terrible as storm (though this one she didn't really bother me for some reason but then again, she had like 2 lines and then died). X-Men 2 is still probably my favorite...followed by Days of Futures Past

HEAVY SPOILERS AHOY, YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WARNED



It's impossible for this character to be Ozymandias for a plethora of reasons: 

- The character has distinctive grey skin and blue lips 
- Ozymandias only gains his stone manipulation power to animate stone, not to move them around effortlessly
- Ozymandias appearance also changed when Apocalypse manipulated him. His entire body was made into granite
- The people are reverencing the character, not something inside the pyramids. It shows that they're in awe with his powers while he was building the great pyramid
- My comic-savvyness might be a bit off, but don't the horsemen only appear when Apocalypse is fully regenerated? 

Also, there's this interview by screenwriter Simon Kinberg:

"Bryan [Singer] and I just locked into this idea of seeing Apocalypse at the height of his power and glory, which is what we imagined would have been in Egyptian times. It was just to give a tease of, ‘This guy is super-powerful, and there was a moment in time when he was essentially treated as a god, and he’s going to rise again in X-Men: Apocalypse.’"
