8 Famous Actors You Won't Recognise In Upcoming Movies
6. Oscar Issac - Apocalypse (X-Men: Apocalypse)
Oscar Isaac is on the way to becoming one of the biggest film stars in the world, having landed a lead role as X-Wing pilot-cum-Han Solo-type, Poe Dameron in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is set for release come Christmastime 2015. Whilst that part is set to propel Isaac into the upper echelon of Hollywood actors, he's also set to star in another huge movie - due in 2016 - that you might also have heard of; X-Men: Apocalypse, where he plays Apocalypse. That's right - so crucial is Isaac's character to this particular movie that he's literally the subtitle. And while Star Wars: The Force Awakens has Oscar Isaac looking like Oscar Isaac, here he'll be barely recognisable. Clad in purple make-up in a role that will also reportedly use CG to enhance certain features, it'll be nearly impossible to tell who is playing Apocalypse beneath the costuming. No doubt the great acting will hint that it's Issac though.
