SPECULATION: X-Men: Apocalypse movie's Horsemen

A lot of people are looking forward to watching Fox's next X-Film: X-Men: Apocalypse. Today the internet buzzed about a "spoiler" about this movie, so if you don't want to get spoiled (which is really not that big a spoiler) stop reading this...

The "big" spoiler is that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Halle Berry's Storm, and Channing Tatum as Gambit will cameo. There were also rumblings about Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto returning.

What I'm thinking is that this might be a spoiler as to who Apocalypse's horsemen will be. In the comics (and other media) these four characters have been horsemen before:

Wolverine was Death, Storm was Pestilence (in X-Men: Evolution and a What If...? story), Gambit was also Death once, and Magneto was War (in X-Men: Evolution).

Sorry, but my speculation will not lead to Warren's Archangel becoming a horseman in the movie...

Now, you might be thinking: But the X-Men: Days of the Future Past movie fixed everything with its "inbetweenquel". There's a new continuity! How can these older versions of these characters appear in an 80s set movie?

Simple, Apocalypse is basically a god with alien technology. Could he not tap into some kind of power or tech that allows older and more powerful versions of the X-Men to travel back in time?

Would it not be awesome to see En Sabah Nur reach into space, time, dimensions and an already ripped continuity to get his horsemen?
