Ok, so what's happening here is Roku only supports a limited set of subtitle languages, and due to your subtitle file naming, the language is being interpreted as "Main"

X-Men Apocalypse.Main.srt
X-Men Apocalypse.mkv

Which obviously is not correct. If you name the file this way, then the language will be detected properly:

X-Men Apocalypse.eng.srt

or this way to indicate it should be the default track:

X-Men Apocalypse.eng.default.srt

To learn more please check out our Subtitles wiki:

Thanks.
