X-MEN: Our Best Look Yet At 'Apocalypse'; Oscar Isaac Teases The Movie's Final Battle
EW has posted a new (well, a close-up version of the previous group shot) image of Oscar Isaac as the titular villain of X-Men: Apocalypse, and it gives us a much better idea of how he'll appear in the film. Isaac also reveals why they went with the look they did...
So yeah, fans are not too impressed with what they've seen from Bryan Singer's big-screen Apocalypse so far - but to be fair, we haven't see that much. The image above seems to be a cropped version of the previous pic of the villain with Storm and Psylocke, but it still offers a much more detailed look at the design of the character. As for why Singer and co. went with that particular visage, actor Oscar Isaac explains.
“We had to do some adjustments here and there and be like, alright, maybe this is too alien,” the actor tells EW. “He also is someone who people would want to follow and not just be terrified of. So the balance, and then making sure that there’s some great elements from the comic but also making our own thing as well. In the comic, he generally is like 12 feet, 600 pounds.” Some fans would have been perfectly happy with that! But does this close-up of Apocalypse come across any better at all?
Isaac had one more intriguing tease about the final battle of the film, in which En Sabah Nur will apparently take on a LOT of other mutants. “I mean that last battle is going to be pretty insane. I mean, it’s like freaking Apocalypse fighting all of the X-Men. It’s pretty cool.”
