X-Men Apocalypse

JP Liz V1

Bryan Singer has officially been confirmed as director


Gambit and Apocalypse to feature, Channing Tatum is to play Gambit so who would you like to see play En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse?


Arnold Vosloo or Mark Strong would be my choices

Make him CGI and have James Earl Jones voice him.

If it did happen to come down to a choice between the two then I'd certainly hope they would choose Mark Strong.

Because they're both bald?

The original cast won't be returning either it seems, most or all will be recast.

Apocalypse is gonna be a tough, tough casting. Villains have been Marvel's weak point so far and there's very few more important villains or characters generally than Apocalypse. If they do go the CGI route it's gonna have to be very good. Thanos got away with space being pretty dark and his screentime being quite short in Guardians.

This is done by Fox not Marvel.

Bit of a shout here but Billy Crudup would be a good choice.

Agent Coulson

Hellboy to play Apocalypse for me Ron Perlman.

Simon Kinsberg did a Q&A on Yahoo.

"If we included some of the original X-Men like Storm and Jean and Scott and other in Apocalypse, yeah we'd have to recast them, as Apocalypse takes place a good twenty years before [the first] X-Men, which was now, insanely, a good ten to fifteen years ago.

"It would be really hard to do. Halle (Berry) and Famke (Janssen) and Jimmy (Marsden) and others have done such wonderful jobs of bringing those parts to life, and are so identified with those parts now. So it would be a tall task. But I also would have said before First Class that there would be no actors who can stand alongside Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart."

I'd have said they're the most easily replaceble tbh, Berry especially she's a woeful actress.

I presume that means it will be set in 90s and use McEvoy, Fassbender and co which is fine by me. The last film felt like a passing of the torch in many ways anyway. They can still have Jackman in it if they want to though i suppose.

Oscar Issac cast as villain http://variety.com/2014/film/news/oscar-isaac-x-men-apocalypse-casting-1201342774/

Frank Bullitt

Good choice, he's a fantastic actor.

pmasterson95

Cudmore wont be returning as Colossus. Makes sense Colossus was only a student at the institute in X2.
Thunderbird will probably join Xavier before being turned into one of the Horsemen

Riddle101

Hard to know who would be best to play Apocalypse. But the guy will most likely have to do motion capture in order to get the appearance down.

They could go the Star Wars route and have someone play Apocalypse but have a different guy do the voice like Darth Vader. They don't even need an established actor to do that, just get some stunt guy to do motion capture and have a voice actor do the voice.

If they went for a Voice Actor I would love to see Fred Tatasciore do the voice.

Hugh Jackman in talks

"There's still a lot unknown about that, actually," he told Josh Horowitz on The Happy Sad Podcast. "I have been speaking to the guys and I'm not at liberty to say exactly what's going on, [but] there are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There are some really cool things going on."

Riddle101

Hard to believe Hugh Jackman not reprising the role of Wolverine anyway. I mean not that i'm a big fan of Jackman or anything, but he's the freaking Wolverine!!!!

Agent Coulson

Bryan Singer has announced that Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp and Tye Sheridan will appear in X-Men: Apocalypse.

The trio will star as younger versions of Jean Grey, Storm and Cyclops respectively.

It is the first time the director has confirmed that the characters will be part of the upcoming X-Men movie, which were played by Famke Janssen, Halle Berry and James Marsden in their older forms.

Turner is best known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones. Shipp recently played Aaliyah in Lifetime biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, while Sheridan is best known for movies The Tree of Life and Mud.

Rose Byrne is Back for X-Men: Apocalypse.

Singer has released some interesting concept art from X-Men Apocalypse

It's possible that it is hinting at

Ship

which in itself would be interesting because of the obvious

Celestials

link. Perhaps FOX and Marvel jointly own rights to them as they were mentioned and shown in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ben Hardy (Eastenders Peter Beale) is cast in unspecified role.

Wolverine in your hole or is it Warpath? Or Psylocke? You must elaborate. Such insight has me fascinated for more things that you put in your hole. Oh spread your wisdom.

He is playing Angel

Jon Stark

I don't think that's been confirmed yet but it is likely I suppose.

What I find strange is that they've been open about every casting but this one.

pmasterson95

Not confirmed but seems likely thats who. Especially since there was that picture heavily implying Angels return. Probably just keeping it quiet because hell be most Archangel?


Condor and McPhee were just named as Jubilee and Nighcrawler. I guess its the horseman link keeping Hardys job quiet?

pmasterson95

Confirmed now Hardy is Angel.


I wonder how long before people get confused over Angel and Jubilee appearing in this film.

The Munn in the X-Men universe! What a day to be alive!

Penn

She'll look the part. Unfortunately, like the Kristen Stewart meme, Munn tends to have the exact same expression on her face the entire time, whether happy, sad or angry. She was pretty awful in The Newsroom.

I actually thought she was one of the best aspects of The Newsroom.

I liked her character and she had some great lines, but same exact expression on her face pretty much the whole time. The only difference in her face between being happy and being sad were tears. Only sign she was angry was the volume of her voice increased. Other than that, same expression on her face.

Maybe that's how she was asked or decided to play it, as I haven't really seen her in anything else, but in over 20 episodes of The Newsroom, same expression almost the entire time.

chanelfreak

Inclined to agree with you on that - she really only has the one expression. Still, I'm liking the fact that Psylocke will be in this episode, she is definitely one of my favourite characters from the X-Men universe. And Munn does look kind of like how I'd always visualised Psylocke too

Corholio

No Gambit in Apocalypse according to Tatum. Says he doesn't want to introduce him until you fully know who the character is. I think it's a good decision, one negative I have with Marvel is the introduction of really good characters but just thrown into storylines.

Can set photos be posted here?

McPhee, Condor, Sheridan & Turner filmed at Montreal mall and theres photos of them in costume?

Supposedly but it doesnt seem clear. Fassbender and McAvoy have been vague about returning but seem willing. Hoult & Lawrence have ruled themselves out however.


Also considering how young McPhee, Turner, Sheridan and the newest additions are I could see them willing to stay through the next phase aswell.
