That enemy is unlike any other the mutants have faced before – it’s Apocalypse, the first-ever mutant, played very menacingly by Oscar Isaac.

In a recent interview with Black Film, he was asked about how it feels to have the trailer for the latter play in front of another movie he’s starring in right now (you know, the one which is likely to be 2015’s biggest). We’ll add further publicity shots as we get them. He was the director for the critically acclaimed and box-office hit “X-Men: Days of the Future Past” where he was able to stitch together the greatest superheroes in the past and present.
