X-Men: Apocalypse – 10 Compelling Casting Rumours Rated

The who's who of Professor X's potential new team.

Arguably the most important casting has already been confirmed with the news that Oscar Isaac - clearly making a play to be crowned the king of geek properties after his turn in Star Wars - is set to go blue for the titular villain. It's good casting, though as a villain he's an unknown quantity Isaac says what his experience of the character so far suggests a suitably fearsome villain: €œI€™ve seen a couple things€ Scary s€“t. Scary s€“t€ I€™m going to bring down to their knees. It€™s amazing, I€™m so excited about everything that€™s going to happen.€ Hopefully he's going to be bulking up for the role. And speaking of physical transformations, James McAvoy says he expects to be bald for the film: the big question is whether they'll address how a man with luxurious hair could go bald in a matter of years. Anyway, what of the new versions of the old favourites; Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey? The short-lists are apparently in (thought they do keep growing almost daily)...
