How long have you been waiting for Apocalypse to grace the silver screen with his presence? How long did you think you were willing to wait for it? Well now we got our wish, problem is will we get what we wish to see. Will he be done justice? In this article I thought we could all think of some ideas of what would make this EPIC character pleasing to us, and intriguing to a general audience.

The big thing that cannot change is his ideology, survival of the fittest. This works very well with the universe already set up. First Class touched on it, but with Apocalypse can fully explore it. The mutant debate that Magneto and Xavier always gets into means nothing to apocalypse. The weak should be destroyed and the strong should survive. Now what's great is that can include humankind as well. Not all mutants are powerful, and not every human is weak. Some could be portrayed as very resourceful and intelligent, like...Sinister. Who despite his appearance is actually human. This ideology is essential to the character, if nothing else done right with this character THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!

In terms of powers this can be done in an interesting way. Whether he is coming from the future or not the script should throw a bit of The Twelve in the movie. Have Apocalypse have a few of his normal powers immortality and telepathy and technopathy and super strength. Then during the course of the movie have him steal powers from others mutants we know of. Kidnapping mutants like Mystique, Jean, Wolverine or Sabertooth. In essence using mutants to make himself more powerful.

Should he be from the future? This a bit of a tough one honestly. If he is it would make sense his ability to go back in time, that is if he isn't gonna use his mind. I think it would be cool though if Apocalypse were communicating with his servants through telepathy or by using someone else. But if he isn't from the future then we can see him more warrior like, before we see him almost cyborg like. If he was from the future maybe his plan could be to conquer earth before a certain event takes place. If he isn't then we could see exactly how he goes about taking over the world. However manipulating historical events in human history would be cool, but wouldn't we already see that in Days of Future Past. If you can't tell I'm kind of torn here.

The 4 Horsemen also essential, who could he use? I know we all would love to see Archangel, but this will more than likely take place in the 80's. So maybe they could use Wolverine or Gambit, I prefer Gambit honestly as a horseman of Apocalypse.

If there is one thing I wanna see Apocalypse do, besides being awesome(yeah lame I know) is go and tell the U.N. to hand the world over to him, or he'll do this horrific thing that would wipe out tons of people. I forget what exact comic he did that in, but it was awesome. Or have a line like in X men tas "I know more of this world than you can even dream. That is why I must destroy it." Something like that would blow my mind. Cause he's been around for 5000 years, so he'd know humanity well enough to say something like that.

Anyway what do you wanna see in Apocalypse in X-Men Apocalypse? Sound off below.

I wish they would stop making my favorite xmen books into movies. Days of Futures Past and now Age of Apocalypse. I swear if they attempt the Dark Phoenix Saga... oh, wait, they already ruined that. Ok, if they attempt Weapon X... oh wait.. hmmmm... mayne they get DoFP and AoA correct. Maybe. Why dont they just do a Savage Land story amd leave the greats alone???

As for horseman, i'd like to see angel (death), wolverine (war), gambit (famine), and sunfire or polaris to be pestilence

I think making wolverine a horseman, would be a good way to keep jackman, to sell off of wolverine, but make him an antagonist, and keep him from stealing the spotlight, as for others, it would be a good way to introduce/re introduce them.

I was hoping to get a mister sinister movie first though, where it turns out Viper, Stryker and Sebastian Saw were all kind of his students when it came to mutant testing, (he gives Stryker the means to bring powers together and control mutants, viper the means to steal a mutants power all together, and gives shaw the job of building a new world for the strongest)

I'm still hoping the director or the studio will fix the continuity errors and bring back Cyclops. How is the film going to explain Cable or Nate Grey?

I am looking forward to Sinister though. Although i doubt Bryan Singer will stick the source material in bringing the villain to the big screen.

I agree with SlaveMaster, Sinister IS a must. He's obsessed with Scott and Jean, hence Madelyne Pryor. I actually think Purefoy would make a perfect Mr Sinister, heh.

I really think the stinger is a bullsh*t rumor. Especially with the Dracula line being delivered.

Sinister is the reason I wish they could have pushed apoc back a movie or two. He would have been a good way to reintroduce scott and Jean in the franchise. Seeing how they have jumped to apoc, I doubt sinister will pay a big role. It would get majorly crowded at that point with apoc, 4 horsemen, and sinister. Heres hoping we see sinister in a xforce movie shortly after that.

Well fortycals, I'm pretty positive the four horsemen will be mostly comprised of underdeveloped (if at all) characters who weren't around before being transformed. It is how they were, originally, with Angel being the only one already established.

But you're probably right, which is a shame, because Sinister is my favorite X-Men villain.

My list to play Apocalypse.
1. actually Will Smith
2. The absolute best person though would be Laurence Fishburn. At first I thought he would be 2 old but with the make up and cgc his age wouldn't matter. Plus at 5000 years old his looks shouldn't matter as long as he looks strong and intimidating.
3. Wesley Snipes??? Nah
4. Terry Crews? maybe but not sure if he has the acting chops
5. Denzel ?? cant get over the voice. Apoc should have a James Earl Jones type voice. Damn near exactly like Darth Vader
6. Forest Whiticker, has the acting chops but doesn't look very villainous!
7. Djimon Hounsou, I really like this guy. HAS THE BODY, THE VOICE AND AN ACCENT.
8. Keith David, in my top 3. He could make a great Villian! Awesome voice!
9. Harry Lennix, good actor, good voice and could pull it off

texhog thats a cool idea fishburn as apoc; horsemen would b cool if writen properly; mr sinister should def b n it, maybe as a collage of stryker's who perfomrs his own experiments with mutant dna(leading 2 obsession w/scott & jean);true origins 4 apoc r a must; and i really want apoc 2 use the line "I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you/humans".
