As an addition to the confirmed mutant roles, Byan Singer revealed that Kodi Smit-Mcphee will play the role of the Nightcrawler, a mutant character that has the ability to teleport. Quicksilver will also be a fixture in the "X-Men: Apocalypse" as peter Maximoff confirms more sighting of the Quicksilver in the upcoming sequel.
