Director Bryan Singer is set to tackle his fourth X-Men film.
Twentieth Century Fox has finalised a deal with Singer to direct the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, according to Deadline.
Singer has a long history with the mutant franchise starring Australian Hugh Jackman - he directed the first and second X-Men films and returned to helm recent X-Men: Days of Future Past.
The latter became the most successful of the series when it released earlier this year, raking in US$745 million (NZ$918.62 million) worldwide.
X-Men: Apocalypse will be set a decade after the last instalment, when the heroic team of mutants find themselves facing a new enemy.
