12 Truly Heartbreaking Facts About Film In 2016

12. Oscar Isaac Was Totally Wasted In X-Men: Apocalypse

Fans were naturally excited when it was first announced that the terrific Oscar Isaac would be appearing as the legendary comic book villain Apocalypse in the next X-Men movie.

Then the film actually came out, and though Isaac did just fine with what he had, it sadly wasn't very much at all. For starters, Isaac was under so much performance-encroaching make-up that pretty much any jobbing actor could've taken the part, and so all he was really there for was a little name recognition.

While Apocalypse's surprisingly diminutive stature was highly controversial among fans, the real tragedy is that a terrific actor was hired for a shockingly generic role. And worse still, Apocalypse has a pretty concrete death scene in the film, so it's unlikely Isaac will return to the part even if the villain is resurrected at some point.
