Oscar Isaac Will Be X-Men Villain Apocalypse!

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.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' Will Be Set in 1983

X-Men: Apocalypse will take place in 1983. Ten years after the events DOFP according to screenwriter Simon Kinberg. 1983 is of course the year most remembered for McDonald's introducing the McNugget, but now the X-Men will have their chance leave their mark on that eventful year in US history.

McNuggets are cool and all, but I really think 1985 is way better than 1983. Perfect theme song for the flick.

Original X-Men Will Be in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

In an interview with The Daily Beast, X-Men: Days of Future Past writer Simon Kinberg confirmed that some of the original X-Men trilogy cast will return for X-Men: Apocalypse. "It will focus primarily on the First Class cast, but it will certainly have some of the original cast involved, too." Kinberg told the interviewer.
So that pretty much confirms some more good old fashioned time travel. This next film seems like the perfect time for the franchise to cast it's younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. Hell if there is enough room bring in Gambit and Cable. The more the merrier. Can't wait for 2016 to see what happens to Wolverine and the rest of the gang in the 70's. #TeamBoneClaws. X-Men: Apocalypse is expected in 2016.
