If the title of next year’s sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past — X-Men: Apocalypse sounds a little grandiose, just wait. In a new interview, Oscar Isaac — who plays the movie’s villain — has suggested the movie will operate on a scale beyond anything glimpsed yet in the superhero series. Isaac said that he was “definitely focusing on the fact [that his character] is the embodiment of the second coming of the judgments of God and that energy going in.” Isaac will play Apocalypse, a character whose comic book incarnation was the first human ever to display the X-gene that makes mutants; born in Ancient Egypt, he has been revealed to be immortal, and has used alien technology to create followers to do his bidding that he refers to as his horsemen.
