When Bryan Singer’s X-Men hit theaters in 2000, one of the big issues among fans was how the movie more or less abandoned all of the character costume designs from the comic books, trading their vibrant colors for shiny black costumes that were all the rage thanks to The Matrix. It’s not that Wolverine looked bad in black, he just didn’t look exactly like he did in the comics.

Now we’ve seemingly come full circle, with the next issue of Entertainment Weekly offering a first look at the new characters in Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Their costumes aren’t afraid to be colorful and weird and, in some cases, remarkably faithful to their comic counterparts. And as a result, they may look a little, well, weird and colorful, but it’s cool because that’s kind of how the ’80s were, which is when Apocalypse takes place.

Above you’ll see Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, and Olivia Munn as Psylocke. Apocalypse may not be the instantly intimidating badass fans are expecting, but we’re sure that’ll change as soon as you see him in the actual movie. But at least Shipp is rocking that Storm mohawk hard.

Not everyone is colorful, though. Here we’ve got a shot of Raven and Quicksilver wearing the fairly standard black designs, looking like they’re aboard the Blackbird.

And if you want to see a first look with some better coloring, here’s the actual EW cover.

X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27, 2016.
