An exclusive preview of XMenFilms' new original story THE XTREME.

Humans days are numbered.

Tell us about THE XTREME.

THE XTREME is a story that follows four "highly evolved" 20-somethings as they fight to save their world from destruction. A threat makes its presence known that puts the human population at risk. The Xtreme decide that they want to make a difference, and they'll try their hardest to save those who are not quite like them. It's an epic, adventurous and very emotional story with plenty of twists.

Do the X-Men make an appearance?

It's the ultimate X-Men story without the X-Men. The characters in this story are original, but it's a story that X-fans can easily connect with. There will be plenty of nods towards that world.

Which character is your favorite?

All the characters bring something special to the story. 'Chris' is the classic leader, with an insane power. 'Bee' is a firecracker. 'Marlee' is like a female Charles Xavier. And 'Unknown' is the most mysterious character out of the bunch. He's centuries old, but physically looks to be in his 20′s.

Who is the villian?

The villian is a threat that's literally out of this world, and The Xtreme are trying to find a way to save the day. It's much bigger than them. Their drive and determination is unbelievable and hopefully it pays off in the end.

Why is this called THE XTREME?

The story initially takes place in a neighborhood in New Orleans called Tremé and it has a critical role in the story. The Xtreme team themselves are based out of New York though.
