Variety is reporting that Oscar Isaac (
Sucker Punch) will play Apocalypse, a powerful ancient mutant and X-Men villain, in FOX's upcoming
X-Men: Apocalypse. There are a lot of rumors about the follow up to the critically acclaimed
X-Men: Days of Future Past (such casting younger versions of Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey), but little has been confirmed. Director Brian Singer (
Superman Returns) was quoted recently as saying
"'Apocalypse' will have more of the mass destruction that ‘X-Men’ films, to date, have not relied upon. There’s definitely now a character and a story that allow room for that kind of spectacle." Sure sounds like
Apocalypse will be raising the stakes for the X-Men-verse. What do you think of Isaac as Apocalypse? Sound off in the comments.
X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27th, 2016.

Oscar Isaac is on a roll. First he nabs a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and now he is Apocalypse. It's always a treat to see a great actor like Isaac who has spent years working his way up the food chain get some awesome opportunities in franchise films. With his resume I have no doubt he will give us a fantastic rendition of En Sabah Nur.
