The biggest news coming from the next X-Men movie X-Men: Apocalypse will be who is playing the famed Four Horsemen with the villain Apocalypse. But has writer Simon Kinberg already confirmed one of them?

Speaking with MTV News, Kinberg teased a return of Angel, played by Ben Foster in X-Men: The Last Stand, and said that while he was born in present day in that movie, he could come back for the 80s-set Apocalypse.

"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."

Warren Worthington III, otherwise known as Angel, served as Death for Apocalypse in the comics and was one of the more famous members. While Angel showed up in The Last Stand, Kinberg has also shown a willingness to bring back characters already seen in previous X-Men and his comments say that he still feels that way.

While it was rumored that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine could be a villain also, Angel could be joining him as another Horseman. It will be interesting if they decide to bring back Foster to play the role, but more likely, they will find someone new and younger to fill the part.

X-Men: Apocalypse is set to hit theaters on May 27, 2016.
