X-Men Apocalypse News - Looks like Caliban will one of the 4 Horsemen

In this day and age of ubiquitous social media, we often get hints and insight from the people involved in these movies, and now director Bryan Singer has told us that we can expect to see Caliban in his upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, and probably the Morlocks too.
Singer took to Instagram to reveal this photo of an underground lair that looks ominous and gloomy. It arrived with the caption, "Shooting Caliban’s place of ‘business.’" Though it arrived on the down low and without much fanfare, this is a detail we didn’t know before now, and it provides some interesting potential information about X-Men: Apocalypse.
An albino mutant, Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum created Caliban, who first appeared in 1981. He has the ability to sense and track other mutants and, working with Callisto, he gathers others and organizes them into a group known as the Morlocks. He lives in the abandoned sewers and subway tunnels that run beneath Manhattan, which, from the appearance of the set Singer showed off in his photo, is likely where that scene goes down.
Over his tenure in the comics, Caliban has been a member of the X-Men, X-Force, and X-Factor, in addition to the Morlocks. His adventures have put him in contact with a number of characters who appear in Apocalypse, most notably Angel, Jubilee, and Storm (and also Kitty Pride, played by Ellen Page in previous X-Men films, but who does not appear to be in Apocalypse), and he fits into the ‘80s aesthetic the movie is going for. He’s also had a rough go of it in the comics, being killed off and resurrected, only to be killed off again. Tough break.
There’s no word on who will play Caliban in the movie, or how big a role he will have, but it will be interesting to see how he fits into the grand scheme of things. He does eventually become a servant of Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), so that seems like an avenue that will probably come into play, but we’ll have to wait and see. It’s also possible this could set up a tie-in with the Ryan Reynolds-starring Deadpool, as Angel Dust, played by MMA fighter Gina Carano in that movie, is also a Morlock and lives in sewers very similar to the one we see here.

As an original X-factor fan, this news is another plus for this film for me.
I'm actually starting to get a little x-cited.

Does this have anything to do with the scene at the end of the last x men movie where the mutant was building the pyramids in Egypt and there were 4 horsemen in the background?
If not, what was that scene all about?
I don't read comics but watch all the movies.

I figured it was sonething like that when i saw the 4 horsemen (4 horsemen of apocalypse).
OK, so this Caliban guy or whatever will work for the evil Albino Egyptian.
I'm just not familiar with any of these characters but glad to see them bringing some new ones into the X Men movies. I love Wolverine and Magneto. Hank and the Professor and Raven, but there's only so many story lines you can have with them.
I'd like to see more of Peter/Pietro Maxihoff or Quicksilver in the new one. I had to google him after seeing his last name on the mailbox and hearing him called Peter by Logan to find out wtf he was.

He's supposed to have a much bigger role in this one. His cameo was so awesome in DOFP.
