X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Writer Describes 'Apocalypse' As A "Supernatural Deity"

Dope

I looooooove this art.

Apocalypse sounds dope. Can't wait!!

Loving what I'm hearing. Hype is up. Need a trailer now.

Nothing like the comics

@TheOracularNerd

I think he's just stating that they are trying to make these fascinating things happen in this ordinary world. It should make things seem much more scaled up when shit goes down. The more I hear about the actual character of Apocalypse the more excited I get, I just hope he isn't a one and done villain.

@Ryguy88

That's true, and in that nature I can easily understand where they're coming from.they said that this film is going to be a disaster film so that'll allow there to be even more usages of powers to help survive these drastic circumstances.

And yes! I strongly believe that Oscar Issac will deliver a very memorable performance as Apocalypse but I feel like as if his performance will be more verbally praised that physically. However there has been a few talks here and there that led to confirmations surrounding him battling the X-Men but I hope that they capture a physical force unlike any other that we've ever seen before.

Just looking at those pictures of "Arch"angel and I'm sitting here thinking just what the hell is Singer afraid of? (if this is even the guy's final look) after watching the cast commentary surrounding Days of Future Past there's no real clue of who these characters really are and just how huge their capacity is to be more than what we've seen this far. I'll endlessly applaud Singer for the drama within his X-Men films but culturally, action and costume wise there have been a few disappointments. I hate to be this critical towards a franchise that I've adored so much over the past but when you really look deep into not only the comics but the animated series as well you think about how much of a true goldmine they have on their hands.

It's reasons like this why I CAN NOT wait for the New Mutants director to do his thing, I have a feeling the guy is going to end up becoming the creative head of Fox's X-Men universe. His compassion for the characters bleeds from his sleeves (based on the old pictures and comics he has in his home)

He also said in the interview here that Apocalypse is "literally a large character." I take that as he is going to be much bigger than 6 foot whatever for a portion of the movie.

I JUST NEED A TRAILER STAT!!

@xcan

Agreed!

So I guess YoungThanos is still pretty cheesed about Sarcastibot Ultron.

@ryguy88 you know better. Youngthanos criticizing a MCU charcter is like @therealremylebeau finally getting that pool party invite from Singer after he's been lubing and pruning his man parts for decades in preparation of that glorious moment. Sadly, some things will never happen!

The last bit about young Jean Grey got me thinking... Maybe they're planning a film based solely on the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix saga! That would be awesome! Considering how poorly they handled that character in X3.

Don't kill Apocalypse, save him for a sequel or future film. Introduce Mr Sinister in Gambit, make a huge X-Men crossover with Sinister and Apocalypse as the villains. Then bring in Kang or Galactus for a FF/X-Men crossover.

That doesn't sound like the Apocalypse I know and love. More and more it sounds like make mine the MCU and the DCEU. Forget this Fox stuff.

@PSDC14 Dude...no it's not. I'm not saying that AOU was better than any given X-movie, but DOFP took in $748m worldwide compared to AOU's $1.4 BILLION. AOU doubled DOFP's box office by more than 2x both domestically and internationally. Again, this doesn't speak to their critical acclaim, but there's no way that Apocalypse is going to "roll all over" AOU

@kakinurmawth

If you didn't like First Class or DOFP then yeah, your expectations should be pretty low.

@foolonthehill

I believe he was saying that Apocalypse the character will roll over Ultron the character.
