"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is quickly becoming even more of a must-see event.
Not only will the first "Captain America: Civil War" trailer reportedly play in front of the movie, but Collider reports we'll also get the first trailer for the next "X-Men" movie, "X-Men: Apocalypse" in front of "Star Wars," too.
Writer and producer Simon Kinberg confirmed to the film site that the trailer will debut in front of "The Force Awakens."
"Our first trailer will be on Star Wars: The Force Awakens,"Kinberg told Collider. "It’s our first thing out there so it is somewhat of a teaser but it’s certainly longer than a minute and it has a ton of cool stuff in it."
The sequel, in theaters May 27, 2016, will reunite young Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) to take down an ancient mutant Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).
This is a very smart move by Fox.
How do you drum up anticipation for one of the biggest summer movies of 2016?
Stick a trailer for it in front of, what very well could be, the biggest movie of all time at the box office.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is in theaters December 18.
