X-MEN: A Hint As To Who Might Be Up For 'Apocalypse' In The Next Movie

Bit of an unusual one this! We don't actually have the actor's name, but during the latest Meet The Movie Press show, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider said he's heard of 3 thesps that are being looked at for the title role in X-Men: Apocalypse, and drops and hint about one of 'em..

The latest episode of Meet The Movie Press (which is hosted by Mark Reilly from Schmoes Know.com) featured a chat with Steven Weintraub, AKA Frosty, from Collider.com. The pair discuss everything from Suicide Squad to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the entire show is well worth a listen. But around the 32:00 mark, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider calls in with a scoop...kinda! If you recall, it was Jeff that broke the names of the six young actors being looked at for Jean Grey and Scott Summers in Bryan Singer's follow up to X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and although he hasn't got any new info in regards to that, he has heard something about who might be in the running to play the villainous Apocalypse. He won't say any names right out, but he does drop a hint about one: "We heard him say the word apocalypse a lot last year". That seems like a pretty good hint, but for the life of me I can't figure out who he's talking about! We decided to put it to you guys, so if you've any idea sound off in the usual place.

Only person I can think of is Idris Elba in Pacific Rim

If it's Elba, then he's not returning to play Heimdall in Ragnarok.

Idris Elba! Of course! How did I not think of that?

He would be fantastic

Wasn't Elba just complaining recently about how he doesn't like being in the thor movies? Why would he want to do another CBM with arguably require even more prosthetics and stunt work than the role he was just complaining about?

Fml, Mockingjay p1 wasn't even very good and I did a subtle cosplay of Katniss for nothing.

I'm 100% sure it's Idris Elba. I'm absolutely [frick]ing positive.

Could it be James Franco from This is the End?

Deschain99 - 11/21/2014, 2:42 PM
I'm going with Glenn Beck for the win Alex.

Hmm, I dunno, everyone from This Is The End? No doubt Simon Pegg and Nick Frost threw the word around a lot in TWE too.

Another decent movie with limited connection to its actual sequels/prequels/inbetweenquels/samequels.

I'm sure Elba could do both. He doesn't have a giant role in the Thor films, and I'm assuming he'll be unrecognizable with CGI/makeup in Apocalypse.
