There has been recent talk about casting for X-Men: Apocalypse, the latest talk was around Cyclops and Jean Grey but now the talks has shifted to another character. Just from the title of the upcoming film and from the end credit scene in Days of Future Past we know that the X-Men will be facing off against Apocalypse, and now we know what actor will be taking on the role of the title villain. According to reports, Oscar Isaac is set to play Apocalypse in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse.Variety reported on Issac closing a deal with Fox to play the main villain in the next X-Men film. The report also says that Singer had been meeting with actors for the past couple of weeks, but their sources claim that Isaac had been the type of actor Singer wanted for the role and the favorite from the start.
Oscar Isaac wouldn't be among the actors I would first think of for a role like this, but after hearing about it I think that it's a fantastic casting. There is no doubt that Isaac is an incredible actor, and is apparently liking to work on big projects since he will also be seen in Sat Wars: The Force Awakens, so I can see him fit in a film and a role like this. I am assuming that much like Josh Brolin's Thanos, Isaac's Apocalypse will be a mostly CGI character so appearance isn't really important. I am really happy with this casting and can't wait to see what this Apocalypse will look and sound like. X-Men Apocalypse is set to begin production in Spring 2015 for a May 27th, 2016 release date.
