My interpretation of Magneto is that he's basically become the person who he hates the most.  His family were taken away by Nazis who believed he and his family were inferior for being Jewish.  Now he has power and he becomes someone who repeatedly shows willingness to kill normal humans who he believes to be weaker. And he joins Apocalypse who is very much the same.
That's a wonderful plot synopsis, but it's still a naked female in an inviting pose being one armed by Johnny Gorilla, because she's a weakling...and trust me someone's beating their meat to it right about nyow..and not for the plot. It hit's all the buttons of the demographic to which the movie is marketed, all the wrong ones.....,.lol.

I agree it can be easily interpreted as sexual, and violent. But I don't see how that makes it sexist.

If the scene wasn't from the film itself you could say the poster is portraying an image and message independent from the film which is sexist.

The poster is based upon advertising a story, not a political statement.

That's how I see it. I can't read the minds of the people who made the poster so it is possible they had malicious intent towards women when making this design.

But to me it's just one of the main hero characters who's the woman, in battle with the main bad guy who's a man. She looks like she's about to lose which adds tension and suspense and the title is saying only the strong survive so it makes you wonder who actually will survive.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
