X-Men: Days Of Future Past Villain Revealed As Apocalypse?
On hearing the name Apocalypse, Singers face changed immediately but there was no point being timid. Might as well plough ahead with the question. Would he even consider using Apocalypse in the movies? How about in Days of Future Past?
His nervous answer:
I cant tell you
That was most interesting. So I leapt forward and asked if realising the character of Apocalypse would require performance capture.
And now Singer looked even more nervous.
This is how it gets started, when somebody starts piecing the little bits together
The non-verbal communication was even more compelling than what Singer was saying. If I had to bet on it, I would well be seeing Apocalypse in Days of Future Past, and hes probably going to be a performance capture character.
This is by no means confirmation of Apocalypse's involvement and plenty of people have been quick to point out that Bleeding Cool have jumped to conclusions before and been proved wrong so take the news with a pinch of salt for now. Apocalypse was not a part of the original comic book story so we're not sure how he'd fit into the movie unless he's set up for the third movie a la Thanos at the end of Avengers? But how cool would it be if it's actually true? For now though we'll have to be content to continue speculating until further details come to light. X-Men: Days Of Future Past is released at cinemas in July, 2014.
